How It Works
Simple. You tell us your market. We watch it. You get the answers.
A clear five-step process from discovery to your first weekly brief.
We learn your market
You give us your top competitors, signals that matter, and your goals.
We identify your top 5–10 competitors, key review channels, service lines, and which changes you most need to know about.
We build your system
We configure your monitoring stack — websites, reviews, offers, pricing. Live in 7 days.
Every client has a unique market. We tailor signal sources to your specific competitive landscape and goals.
We monitor continuously
Your system runs 24/7. When something changes, it's detected and scored automatically.
The system compares current signals to prior snapshots, scores changes by importance, and filters noise.
You receive the brief
Every week: what changed, why it matters, what to do. No login required.
If something urgent happens mid-week, you receive an immediate alert instead of waiting for the weekly cycle.
We review and improve
Monthly, we refine the system based on what's actually driving your decisions.
As your market shifts, your watchlist evolves. This is a living system, not a set-it-and-forget-it tool.
Common questions
Everything you need to know about how Vantage Intel works.
What data sources do you use?
We use publicly available data only — competitor websites, Google and Yelp reviews, public job postings, and similar open channels. We don't access private data or anything behind login walls.
How long does setup take?
Most clients are live within 5–7 business days. The setup call takes 30 minutes, and we handle the rest.
Is this a software product or a service?
It's a done-for-you service. We run the system, maintain data sources, tune the scoring logic, and deliver the briefs. You receive the intelligence, not a platform to manage.
Can I adjust what's being monitored?
Yes, at any time. If a competitor enters or exits your market, if you add a service line, or if priorities shift, we update the watchlist accordingly.
Does this work for my industry?
If you have competitors with a public presence — websites, reviews, job postings — we can build a monitoring system for your market. We work across 8+ industries and growing.
What if I don't know who my competitors are?
That's part of the discovery call. Many clients are surprised by what we surface. We help you define the competitive landscape as a first step.
