Who are my competitors, how much traffic do they get and from where?
If you want to run a successful business, you need to build a profound understanding of your market segment. For this you should get an exact picture of your competitors. Which players are active in the market environment, how many visitors do they register on their website and what are their most important traffic sources?
SimilarWeb is an absolutely recommendable tool for competitive intelligence.

- Data measured from traffic from selected websites and intended for specialized estimation algorithms
- Data from numerous crawlers searching the entire web
