Competitor Analysis
Gain a strategic edge with our comprehensive competitor analysis services. We map the competitive landscape, benchmark your performance, identify opportunities and threats — so your business can position itself for growth, innovation and advantage.
What is Competitor Analysis?
Competitor analysis is the process of identifying and comparing your business against rivals in your marketplace — examining their strengths, weaknesses, strategies, market-positioning and customer perceptions.
It helps you answer: Where do you stand? What are your competitors doing well? Where are the gaps? And how can you differentiate and advance?
Why it Matters?
Understand Market Positioning
Knowing how competitors present themselves helps you refine your unique value-proposition.
Identify Growth Opportunities & Gaps
By revealing unmet customer needs or weak competitors, you can target new segments or refine your offerings.
Benchmark Performance
Compare your service, pricing, experience or marketing versus competitor best-practice — giving you clear direction for improvement.
Mitigate Risk & Stay Agile
Regular competitor insight enables you to respond to changing dynamics, new entrants or shifts in customer behaviour.
What We Offer
Landscape Mapping & Competitor Identification
We help you clearly define who your direct & indirect competitors are in Ireland (and internationally if required).
Competitor Profiling & Benchmarking
We assess competitor offerings, pricing, service models, customer experience and market positioning — putting them side-by-side with yours.
Customer Perception & Experience Analysis
We evaluate how customers view your competitors (and your business) — what they like, dislike, and what shifts they might make.
Opportunity & Threat Analysis
We identify strategic opportunities (e.g., weak service touch-points or emerging needs) and threats (e.g., competitor innovations or market disruption) — then work with you to act.
Strategic Action-Planning
We don’t stop at insight. We deliver clear recommendations based on the competitor analysis — ways to differentiate, improve, grow and succeed.
