Competitor Radar · Ireland
Know what your competitors change, before your customers do
Competitor Radar watches your competitors’ websites for you: prices, new products and services, offers, articles and the way they talk to customers. Every change is saved with its date, so you see the full history, and every week you get a short summary of what changed and what you could do about it. We take one business of each type per country, so your competitors cannot buy the same view of you.

Too late
Most competitor analysis starts after sales have dropped
In most businesses, nobody looks closely at competitors until something goes wrong. Enquiries slow down, a regular customer leaves, a quote is lost on price, and only then someone is asked to find out what the competitors are doing. It takes weeks of screenshots, spreadsheets and guesses about what changed and when. By the time there is an answer, the competitor has had months of head start and the lost customers are gone. Then the review stops, until the next drop.
| What happens | |
|---|---|
| The usual way | Sales drop → weeks of manual research → a late response |
| With Competitor Radar | A competitor changes something → you know on Monday → you respond first |
Competitor Radar works the other way round. It checks every week, keeps the record and tells you about a change while there is still time to respond.
What we track
What Competitor Radar watches for you
Prices
Price lists, packages, delivery charges and minimum orders. You see when a competitor raises or cuts a price, and by how much.
New products and services
New pages for products and services, and the ones that quietly disappear. Often the first sign of where a competitor is heading.
Offers and promotions
Discounts, bundles, free extras and seasonal deals, with the dates they started and ended.
Articles and news
New blog posts, guides and announcements: the topics they want to be known for, and the questions they answer for your customers.
How they talk to customers
Headlines, promises and guarantees on their main pages. When a competitor changes what they promise, you see the old and new wording side by side.
New features on their website
Online booking, live chat, price calculators, AI assistants, new payment options: the tools that change what customers expect from you too.
Competitor Radar is part of our AI automation service.
Weekly summary
What lands in your inbox every Monday
Each point links to the exact page and shows the change. A person at Baikou reads the summary before it is sent.
- Competitor A raised the price of its standard package and removed the free first consultation;
- Competitor B added online booking with same-day slots;
- Competitor C published three articles about the new grant scheme.
What you could do: keep your price and say clearly that the first consultation is still free; check whether online booking would help your own team; answer the grant question on your own site before more customers read it elsewhere.
History
Every change kept, with its date
Competitor Radar keeps a timeline for each competitor: every price, page and promise it has seen, and when it changed. Before a price review you can see how each competitor’s prices moved over the year. Before a new launch you can see who tried something similar and whether they kept it. The history belongs to you: it stays in your account, and you can export it at any time.
From change to decision
From a change on their site to a decision on yours
A change only matters if it leads to a decision. For each important change, the summary suggests a response: review a price, add a service, update an offer, answer a question on your own website, or simply keep an eye on it. Once a month you get a short written review of the bigger picture: which competitor is moving fastest, where the gaps are, and what to consider next. You decide what to do; we make sure you decide with the facts in front of you.
Exclusive
One business of each type, per country
We will not watch you for your competitor. Competitor Radar is offered to one business of each type in each country: for example, one dental practice in Ireland, one in the UK. If your place is already taken, we put you on a waiting list and tell you when it frees up.

The rules
Only public information, handled properly
Competitor Radar looks only at what any customer can see on a competitor’s public website. It does not log in, does not fill in forms, does not collect personal data and does not pretend to be a customer. It checks pages at a gentle pace and follows the rules websites publish for automated visitors. What you do with the information is up to you; we suggest responses, not copying.

Questions about Competitor Radar
Is it legal to monitor competitors’ websites?
Competitor Radar only looks at public pages that any customer can see, without logging in or collecting personal data, and it follows the rules websites publish for automated visitors. If you have a specific concern, your solicitor has the final word.
How many competitors can you track?
Usually 3 to 10. We agree the list in the first week and can change it every month.
How often do you check?
Every week as standard. Pages that change often, such as price lists, can be checked more often.
Will my competitors know?
No. The radar visits public pages the way any visitor does and never contacts them.
What if a competitor has no prices on their website?
Then we track what they do publish: services, offers, content and promises. “Price on request” is useful information too, and it often changes over time.
Where do I see the history?
In your own account with us, with a timeline for each competitor. If your website runs on WordPress, it can also live inside your own site.
What does “one business of each type, per country” mean?
We offer Competitor Radar to one business of each type in Ireland and one in the UK. If a competitor of yours already uses it, we will not take you on and will not tell either side about the other.
How much does it cost?
It is a monthly service. You get a fixed price after a short questionnaire, based on the number of competitors and what we track.
