Reaction from Beta Customers

• From Tony Spencer, tonyspencer.com 

“When I first used the tool, I blogged that it was so good I kinda felt dirty. After finding myself using it nearly daily, and falling in love with its powerful data, we have gone so far as to integrate its reports into our internal suite of SEO analysis tools. Nothing out there has even come close to providing this kind of competitor insight. I'd rename it to ‘Log in to Your Competitor's Web Stats’ because the tool is exactly that.”


• From Sheila Marcelo, founder, CEO of Care.com

“Being a Web-based business, Compete’s Search Analytics tools have been instrumental in helping us to better understand how customers reach us. Working with Compete has enabled us to effectively develop our search campaigns.”

Compete's new Search Analytics tool supports our view to define the competitive landscape at the granular keyword level, and enables us to better bid, plan and optimize at this level. This drives more targeted, responsive, and ultimately successful campaigns for our clients.”
