Begin your journey by visiting sitescanner.ai. Look for the 'Sign in' button located in the top-right corner of the page.
You can either create a new account or sign in with your existing credentials. After your first successful login, you'll be automatically directed to your organization's dashboard.
Head to the Price Tracking section, which you'll find in the sidebar menu. To begin monitoring your competitors, use the 'Create Link Group' option.
Choose a descriptive name that makes sense for your monitoring needs, such as 'Main Competitors' or 'Market Leaders'.
The link group feature is versatile, allowing you to organize multiple URLs with similar content structure, group competitors by market segment, and track different product categories separately.
Within your link group, you can start tracking by adding URLs. When selecting URLs to monitor, follow these best practices: use direct pricing page URLs like example.com/pricing, include specific product pages such as example.com/products/123, and avoid homepage URLs or category pages.
For scan location, you can choose from multiple countries to track regional pricing, with support for US, UK, EU, and more regions, ensuring accurate local price monitoring.
Configure your group settings including active status and tracking type. Set your group to COMPETITOR_TRACKING mode to enable advanced competitive analysis features.
