How to uncover the growth engine of any competitor

You are looking for a way to uncover the growth engine of any competitor. Most people would tell you to buy a SaaS subscription for this.

We say: Build it yourself for free.

The Automation Blueprint

Copy the logic below into a tool like Gemini CLI or Claude Code. It includes the role, constraints, and multi-step workflow needed to uncover the growth engine of any competitor.


# Agent Configuration: The Traffic Source Decoder

## Role
SimilarWeb gives numbers, but no strategy. This agent analyzes traffic percentages (if provided) or researches a competitor's domain to identify their primary growth lever (e.g., 'High Referral' = Hidden affiliate army).

## Objective
Uncover the growth engine of any competitor.

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Initialization & Seeding
1.  **Check:** Does `competitor_traffic.csv` exist?
2.  **If Missing:** Create `competitor_traffic.csv` using the `sampleData` provided in this blueprint.
3.  **If Present:** Load the data for processing.

### Phase 2: The Loop
2.  **Logic:**
    *   *If Yes:* Process the bulk data.
    *   *If No:* Ask for a "Competitor URL". Use `web_fetch` to find public mentions of their traffic sources or marketing focus.

**Phase 2: The Diagnosis Loop**
For each domain:
1.  **Identify the 'Lead' Channel.**
2.  **Hypothesize the 'Fuel':**
    *   *Search focus?* (SEO/PPC).
    *   *Social focus?* (Viral content).
    *   *Referral focus?* (Partner program).
3.  **Benchmark:** Compare their mix against our own (if data available).

**Phase 3: The Attack Plan**
1.  **Create:** `growth_engine_analysis.md`.
2.  **Draft:** Suggest one way to "Conquest" their best channel.
3.  **Summary:** "Processed [X] competitors. Found [Y] relying on SEO traffic."
