As a founder, product manager or marketing leader, it's critical to stay on top of what new capabilities your competitors are launching. But with so many companies innovating rapidly, it can be time-consuming and difficult to manually track every product announcement and website update across all your competitors. Luckily, Campana makes it effortless to get alerts whenever a rival company releases a new feature. Here's how you can set it up in just a few simple steps.

What you will need

  1. Campana account. Sign up for a free account here
  2. URLs of the companies you want to keep track of

Step 1: Navigate to Companies tab

  1. Go to app.getcampana.com and sign in
  2. Navigate to the "Companies" tab

Step 2: Add companies

  1. Click "Add company"
  2. Paste the URL of the company you want to track and click "Track"

Note that if you stop here, Campana will only notify you of page additions and deletions via sitemap changes. This can be a good starting point if you don't know which pages a company announces their products on. However, we recommend you to continue onto step 3 to target specific pages to be notified of new product launches.

Step 3: Add specific pages to monitor

To ensure you capture all relevant feature announcements, it's important to track the right pages for each company. Campana will automatically suggest key pages to monitor based on an analysis of the company's sitemap and content. Review the list of recommended pages, which often include:

  • Home page
  • Product pages
  • Blog
  • Changelog
  • Press releases

If a critical page is missing from the auto-generated suggestions, you can easily add it by typing in the page URL and clicking "Track". This is especially useful for blog posts, changelog entries, or other announcement pages that may be missed by the automatic page detection.
