Daily competitor intelligence

ONE BRIEF, EVERY MORNING, WHILE YOU SLEPT

Fri · Aug 28 · Filed

Your main rival cut prices 16% last Friday.
You won't find out until October.

We read your competitors’ public pages every morning — their pricing, their hours, their reviews, their job posts — and send you one page on how it impacts your business, before you finish your coffee.

Below is a real finding from a real subscriber brief — one line of many, pulled from this morning's run.

From a brief · Omaha, NE · plumbing contractor Drain cleaning price dropped from $189 → $99 (limited-time offer) → Do this: Don't reactively match the price — Cornhusker Drain has national-chain overhead and you don't. Instead, run a "we don't need a $99…

A MyIntelBrief daily email brief for a medical spa, headed 'Radiant Skin
                    Med Spa' with the date and '5 competitor signals detected'. An 'Actions
                    to take today' panel lists five findings, each tagged HIGH or MEDIUM and
                    naming the competitor: one adding medical weight loss, one promoting a
                    new location, one leading on review volume with 1,172 reviews against
                    56, a six-service gap analysis, and a rival hiding its pricing. Each
                    finding is followed by a bolded recommended action.
This is what lands in your inbox. Yours names your real competitors.

If your competitors have a website, a Google listing, or a job posting, we can watch them. That is nearly every local business — and we catch newcomers earlier than that: a lease signed, a permit pulled, a first press mention. You hear about fresh competition before they open.

If you are an underdog, this is the advantage that does not cost headcount. The chain down the road has staff to watch the market for them; an independent owner has the same day and none of the people. You get the watching done every morning for the price of lunch — which is how a small shop punches above its weight.

And if you are the one to beat, the risk runs the other way. Market share leaves quietly — an up-and-comer undercuts a price, opens on a Saturday, or lands the reviews that move them above you in search. The established operator is usually last to hear about it, because nobody tells you the day it starts.

Who is behind MyIntelBrief

This tool is not some cookie-cutter startup with no street cred. MyIntelBrief was founded by a former defense intelligence professional, and the daily brief is the format that discipline runs on — what changed, what it means, what to do about it, on a fixed schedule whether or not the day was eventful. You will not find a name on this site; people from that world prefer to work in the shadows.

How this differs from a Google Alert

A Google Alert won't tell you a brand-new competitor is entering your market. It can only match a name that is already being published. A lease has no name yet.

Before you decide

Can’t I just ask ChatGPT?

Ask a general assistant what a competitor charges and you may well get an answer. What you will not get is a date on it. You cannot tell whether that price is from this morning, from last quarter, or from whenever the tool last looked — and it will not tell you, because it does not know either. Acting on an undated number is the part that costs you.

It is also one answer, to one question, about one rival, at the moment you happen to ask. That is a different thing from knowing your market.

The gap is not what any of them can read. It is that nobody is watching between your questions. Ask again next month and nothing can tell you the price changed — because nothing kept yesterday’s copy to compare against. We keep a dated copy of every competitor page, every morning, and report only the difference: $16 became $18.50 on Tuesday, the happy-hour page came down, two hygienist roles went up.

We keep a dated copy of every competitor page, every morning, and report only the difference — $16 became $18.50 on Tuesday, the happy-hour page came down, two hygienist roles went up. That is an archive problem, not a writing problem, and it is why this is a standing service rather than a prompt you run once. The other half is showing up: this arrives whether or not you remember to ask.

Is this just a Google Alert?

No — and the gap is the point. A Google Alert can only match a name that is already being published. It cannot tell you a competitor signed a lease, because a lease has no name yet. We read the pages themselves: pricing, hours, reviews, job posts, permits — and report what changed, not what got mentioned.

Won’t a daily email just become noise?

Most mornings your competitors do nothing, and the brief says so in a line. It is one page, ranked, and quiet days stay quiet — that is what makes the loud ones readable. There is also a dashboard if you would rather look than be told, but the email is the product: it arrives whether or not you remember to check.

What if I already use Crayon, Klue or Kompyte?

Those are built for enterprise teams with an analyst to run them, and priced for it. This is for the owner or consultant who needs the same answer without the seat count or the sales call. See the side-by-side: vs Crayon, vs Klue, vs Kompyte.

A former defense intelligence professional — the daily brief is the format that discipline runs on. There is no name on this site by choice. More about who we are and who we serve →

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The demo above runs on your real competitors in about a minute, with no signup and no card. The 7-day trial does ask for a card, and nothing is charged until day 8 — cancel any day before that and you pay nothing.

Nothing here is secret. We just find the market moves and help you act on them while the news is fresh.

Every line above came from a page your own customers can see — a pricing page, a Google profile, a job board, a permit filing. The work isn't access. It's showing up every morning and reading all of it before you do.
