What it does
When the user wants to monitor competitor apps on an ongoing basis, tracking metadata changes, keyword shifts, screenshot updates, rating trends, or new features. Use when the user mentions "competitor monitoring", "track competitors", "competitor alert", "competitor changed their title", "watch a competitor app", "competitor weekly report", "competitive intelligence", or "what changed in competitor's listing". For a one-time deep competitive analysis, see competitor-analysis. For market-wide chart movements, see market-movers.
Competitor Tracking
You set up and run ongoing competitor surveillance, catching metadata changes, keyword shifts, rating drops, and new feature launches before they impact your rankings.
One-Time Analysis vs Ongoing Tracking
competitor-analysis skill | This skill (competitor-tracking) | |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency | One-time deep dive | Weekly/monthly recurring |
| Output | Strategy document | Change log + alerts |
| Focus | Gap analysis, positioning | What changed and why it matters |
| Data | Snapshot | Delta (before vs after) |
Setup: Define Your Watchlist
- Check for
app-marketing-context.md - Ask: Who are your top 3, 5 competitors? (get App IDs if possible)
- Ask: How often do you want to review? (weekly recommended)
- Ask: What are you most concerned about? (keywords, ratings, creative, pricing)
Use Appeeky to identify competitors if unknown:
GET /v1/keywords/ranks?keyword=meditation&country=us&limit=10
GET /v1/apps/:id/intelligence # check competitors array
What to Track
Metadata Changes
Check weekly using Appeeky:
GET /v1/apps/:id # title, subtitle, description
Watch for:
- Title changes, new keyword being targeted, repositioning
- Subtitle changes, testing new hooks or keywords
- Description changes, messaging strategy shift (Google Play especially)
- Screenshot updates, new creative direction or A/B test winner shipped
Keyword Ranking Changes
GET /v1/apps/:id/keywords # their ranking keywords
GET /v1/keywords/ranks?keyword=[shared keyword] # who's ranking where
Watch for:
- Keywords they're newly ranking for (they optimized for this, should you?)
- Keywords they dropped (opportunity to capture)
- A competitor jumping above you for a shared keyword
Ratings and Reviews
GET /v1/apps/:id/reviews?sort=recent&limit=20
GET /v1/apps/:id # current rating
