08-competitor-research-global

Use when the user needs to understand competitors — direct, indirect, and substitute tiers, positioning map, SWOT, ad and content benchmark, pricing comparison, and the market gap to attack, using SimilarWeb, Ahrefs, Semrush, and the Meta Ad Library. Trigger on 'competitor research', 'competitive analysis', 'what are competitors running', 'who else sells this', 'why do people pick them over us', 'benchmark us against the market'. Also use when the user sends a competitor link and asks for an opinion. Not for — understanding the customer rather than the rival, see `09-customer-insight-global`; turning difference into a statement, see `58-positioning-global`; paid targeting, see `51-audience-research-global`.

  2. Name 2-5 competitors you know (brand names, page/TikTok/website links if available)
  3. What worries you most about competitors? (Cheaper pricing? Better content? Stronger ads? Market share?)
  4. Goal after this report? (Reposition? Improve content? Find market gap? Run ads more effectively?)

3-tier competitor model

Categorize competitors into 3 groups — don't just look at direct competitors:

TierDefinitionCriteriaExample (Mid-tier Spa)
DirectSame tier, same offering, same audienceSame price, same service, same areaSpa B same street, similar pricing
Indirect potentialDifferent offering but substitutableCustomer might pick them insteadCosmetic clinic, at-home skincare, home beauty devices
SecondarySame offering, different price tierCompetes when budget shiftsPremium spa (customer downgrades), budget spa (upgrades)

Selection rules

  • Direct: pick 3-5 main competitors
  • Indirect potential: pick 2-3 substitute categories
  • Secondary: pick 1-2 competitors at adjacent price tier

Per-competitor analysis structure

For each competitor, analyze 8 dimensions:

1. Brand positioning

ElementContent
Main message[Slogan, tagline, brand promise]
Visual style[Color tone, photo style, video quality]
Price tier[Low / Medium / High / Premium]
Target audience[Gender, age, income, interests]

Positioning Map

2x2 matrix — pick 2 axes that fit your industry:

Default axes: Price x Perceived Quality

        HIGH QUALITY
             |
             |
  Comp C     |  [YOU]
  (cheap,    |  (mid price,
   good qual)|   good qual)
             |
------- LOW -------- HIGH ---- PRICE
             |
  Comp A     |  Comp B
  (cheap,    |  (high price,
   low qual) |   low qual)
             |
        LOW QUALITY

Alternative axes (by industry)

X-axis (horizontal)Y-axis (vertical)Best for
PricePerceived qualitySpa, F&B, fashion
Traditional vs ModernMainstream vs NicheEducation, tech
Convenience vs ExperienceMass vs PremiumF&B, retail
Online vs OfflineSelf-serve vs Full serviceService, SaaS

How to read the map:

  • Crowded corner = fierce competition, avoid
  • Empty corner = gap to claim
  • Heavy corner = many competitors, need strong differentiator

Find market gaps (Market Gap)

5 gap types framework

Gap typeCheck questionFinding
Product gapWhat need are customers solving DIY because no one serves it?
Price gapWhat price tier has no one claimed? (between budget and premium)
Channel gapWhat channel are competitors ignoring? (Email? TikTok Shop? SEO?)
Content gapWhat angle hasn't been done? (behind scenes? educational? data-driven?)
Experience gapWhat customer journey step is no one doing well?

Use when the user needs an overall marketing plan for a period — objectives, segments, positioning, channel mix, content direction, budget, timeline, KPIs, and a risk matrix, adapted to US, EU, SEA, or LATAM. Trigger on 'marketing plan', 'marketing strategy for next year', 'go-to-market roadmap', 'plan for Q3', 'we have no marketing plan', 'where should we spend next quarter'. Also use when a founder only says the business needs to grow and has no idea which channel to start with. Not for — one specific campaign, see `02-campaign-brief-global`; working backward from a revenue goal to spend, see `10-reverse-kpi-global`; splitting a budget across channels and months, see `61-budget-planning-global`; taking a brand new product to market, see `59-go-to-market-global`.

Use when the user needs a monthly or weekly content calendar — posting schedule per channel, funnel ratio, content pillars, repurposing matrix, and an owner per slot. Trigger on 'content calendar', 'posting schedule', 'what should we post this month', 'editorial calendar', 'social media plan', 'we post randomly with no plan'. Also use when the user only says the team keeps running out of things to post. Not for — the brief for one specific post, see `36-content-brief-global`; the caption text itself, see `37-social-caption-global`; deciding next period content from last period data, see `40-next-content-plan-global`; a paid campaign timeline, see `02-campaign-brief-global`.

Trigger on 'campaign brief', 'creative brief', 'launch brief', 'brief the team on this campaign', 'we are running a promo next month', 'what is the plan for this campaign'. Also use when the user describes a promotion out loud and asks for something the team can actually run. Not for — the whole period plan, see `00-marketing-plan-global`; the list of design files needed, see `41-campaign-asset-list-global`; assigning work to one person, see `64-team-brief-global`; a new product launch sequence, see `59-go-to-market-global`.
