Size up the rivals

We read who already sells this, what they charge, what people complain about, and where the gap is.

What happens when you press it

  1. 1
    We go and look

    We search the live web for products doing your job, then read their own pages rather than guessing from memory.

  2. 2
    Prices and promises

    You get what each one charges and the promise on their front page, side by side.

  3. 3
    Complaints become openings

    Repeated grumbles about the rivals are the most useful thing on the page. Those are your openings.

Turning it into work

  1. 1
    A line to say

    We write a short positioning line: who you are for, and why you beat the obvious choice.

  2. 2
    Build the gap

    One press writes a prompt that builds into the opening, using parts off the shelf.

  3. 3
    We never copy

    The prompt aims at the gap, never at cloning a rival's screens or wording.

    If a rival's exact layout or copy is what you want, that is not what this does.
