If you're B2B, track messaging and ICP signals, not just your competitor's ads.
B2B competitor analysis is special. The cycles are longer. Pricing is sometimes hidden. The channels are different. If you use B2C tools, you'll get bad data.
In B2B, you win on positioning and sales enablement. You need a platform that reveals your competitor's content strategy, their tech stack, and where they're going before they get there.
B2B competitors leave clues on pages, in content, and in their offers.
Start with positioning, use cases, pricing signals, and conversion paths like demos and webinars.
Then track demand capture and demand gen channels.
That is how you build a B2B-friendly scorecard.
The truth is, you can do this manually, and it's fine. But if you're looking to automate the tracking of your competitors, then Panoramata is the platform for you.
On Panoramata, you can track all your competitors automatically. Not only their ads on Meta, LinkedIn, Google, and YouTube, but also their emails, landing pages, social posts, reviews, and much more.
On top of tracking all their campaigns, the platform can give you insights on the next campaigns they might run and allow you to compare yourself against them automatically with real-time benchmarks.
First of all, pick your competitor set.
Start with ICP overlap. Then extract the main messaging of your competitors and map the funnel steps to their pipeline.
By the end, you'll know who's winning, who's segmenting in which way, and why.
Once you've defined your competitors, pick your main question. In B2B, that usually looks like this:
To do this, you need a platform that tracks every single piece of marketing done by your competitors.
B2B competitors run ads, landing pages, emails, webinars, and product launches. A tracking platform helps you monitor all these assets automatically, spot positioning shifts, and keep historical changes so you can reference them.
At the same time, on Panoramata, you're also able to see which tech stack your competitors are using. You can see which software they use for analytics, marketing automation, CRM, A/B testing, chat, and much more.
This helps you understand how they operate, which integrations they might push, and what their focus is at this very moment.
To make competitive analysis useful, you need to establish a frequency.
You can't just do it once and hope that you captured the true reality of your competitors. You need to do this consistently so you can have a real overview.
Weekly, check what changed.
Monthly, look at what patterns are repeating.
Quarterly, ask what this means for your positioning and your roadmap.
If you'd like to do this correctly, you can't do this manually. At the same time, you don't have to chase eight tools because a blog post says so.
