Adding competitor URLs is the first step in price monitoring — but knowing which URLs to add and how to organise them makes all the difference in the quality of data you get back.
Not every competitor URL is worth tracking, and not every product category deserves equal attention. Before you start adding URLs into your monitoring setup, it helps to think through what you are actually trying to learn.
Start with your highest-revenue products. These are the ones where a pricing gap has the biggest impact on your business. If a competitor is consistently cheaper on your best-selling items, that is the kind of intelligence that directly affects purchasing decisions, promotions, and your own pricing strategy. Track those products first, then expand from there.
When you are picking which competitors to monitor, focus on the ones your customers are actually comparing you to. A quick look at who ranks alongside you in search results, or who your customers mention during support conversations, gives you a much better target list than guessing based on brand size alone.
Once you have added your URLs, organise them clearly under the right product in your account. The goal is to see, at a glance, how many competitors you are tracking per product and what the current spread of prices looks like. A well-organised setup makes the daily reports far more useful, because the context is already there — you are not just looking at numbers, you are looking at numbers tied to products you know well.
