How to Add Competitors in Swonkie?

Monitoring competitors is essential to understand how your brand performs compared to others in your industry. Swonkie allows you to easily track competitor activities and gain strategic insights to enhance your digital presence.

You can add competitors through the Competitors' Feed or the Competitors' Reports.


Adding Competitors to the Competitors' Feed

  • Click on the "Feeds" option and then select "Competitors' Feed".
  • On this page, you will see the "Add new" button. Click on it.
  • Choose a social network, either Instagram or Facebook.
  • Enter the profile name you want to add and press Enter or click on the magnifying glass to search.
  • Finally, select the type of alert you want to receive.

What Alerts Can Be Added?

Likes: Enter a specific number of likes to trigger the alert. When a competitor's post reaches the defined number of likes, a notification is sent.

Comments: Similar to likes, set the number of comments needed to trigger the alert.

Shares: Works the same way—an alert is sent when a competitor's post reaches the defined number of shares.

Keywords: Enter a keyword. If a competitor's post includes this keyword in the description, an alert is sent.

New Posts: No value is required. An alert is sent every time the competitor publishes a new post.

Viral Post: An alert is triggered when a post receives 10% more engagement than the competitor's last 20 posts.

  • Click "Add" to finalize and include the competitor.

Adding Competitors to Competitors' Reports
