Protocol

Step 1: Gather Inputs

Ask the user for:

• Your product: What do you sell? Key features, price, positioning
• Competitor URLs: 3-5 competitor websites to analyze
• Your differentiation: What do you believe makes you different? (optional — skill may identify this)
• Target market: Who are you both competing for?

Step 2: Analyze Each Competitor

For each competitor, extract and assess:

Company Profile:

• Company name, URL, estimated size
• Target audience (who they're speaking to)
• Brand positioning (premium, budget, niche, mass-market)
• Unique selling proposition (their main claim)

Product/Service:

• Core offering and key features
• Pricing model and price points
• Free tier or trial availability
• Strengths (what they do well)
• Weaknesses (where they fall short)

Messaging:

• Homepage headline and main claim
• Proof elements (testimonials, case studies, numbers)
• Tone and voice (professional, casual, technical, aspirational)
• Trust signals (certifications, press mentions, logos)

Step 3: Feature Comparison Matrix

Build a side-by-side feature matrix:

Mark features as: ✅ (included), ❌ (missing), ⚡ (best-in-class), 🔜 (planned)

Step 4: Pricing Comparison

Build a pricing analysis:

Value-per-dollar analysis: Which product delivers the most features per dollar at each tier?

Step 5: Messaging Analysis

For each competitor, document:

• Primary claim: What they say on their homepage hero
• Proof offered: Testimonials, stats, case studies, logos
• Emotional angle: Fear, aspiration, frustration, belonging
• Gaps in claims: What they promise vs what reviews say
• Common review complaints: What customers actually dislike

Step 6: Weakness Identification

Identify exploitable gaps:

• Feature gaps: Features competitors lack that your audience wants
• Service gaps: Support quality, onboarding, documentation
• Price gaps: Underserved price point (too expensive or no premium option)
• Audience gaps: Segments competitors ignore or serve poorly
• Messaging gaps: Claims nobody is making that would resonate

Rank by: impact (high/medium/low) × difficulty to exploit (easy/medium/hard)

Step 7: SEO Overlap Analysis

Identify content and keyword competitive dynamics:

• Shared keywords: Terms you both rank for (or should)
• Their keywords you miss: Terms they rank for that you don't
• Your keyword opportunities: Terms nobody ranks well for
• Content gaps: Topics competitors cover that you don't
• Content advantages: Topics you cover better than anyone
