  • Business owners preparing for strategic planning or competitor analysis.

How the Katteb Agent Does It, Step by Step

  • The agent signs into your account and accesses the competitor’s e-commerce website as provided.
  • It navigates through the store’s main categories and bestseller sections to identify the top products based on placement, reviews, and visible sales indicators.
  • The agent extracts pricing data for these products, noting any discounts, bundles, or special offers displayed.
  • It reviews the site’s shipping policy pages and checkout options to gather all shipping terms, times, and cost structures.
  • The agent checks for active promotions, coupon codes, limited-time offers, loyalty programs, and other marketing incentives.
  • All collected data is compiled into a structured comparison sheet with columns for product name, price, shipping details, and promotional offers.
  • The agent performs quality checks to ensure data accuracy and completeness before finalizing the report.
  • The completed comparison sheet is delivered in a commonly used format like Excel or Google Sheets for easy review and editing.

What You Give the Agent Before It Starts

  • The URL of the competitor’s online store to be audited.
  • Any specific product categories or sections to prioritize, if applicable.
  • Your preferred format for the comparison sheet delivery (Excel, Google Sheets, CSV).
  • Login credentials for your account on Katteb, if required for operation.
  • Optional: any particular competitor product SKUs or offers to focus on.

What a Good Result Looks Like

The final deliverable is a clear, organized comparison sheet that lists the competitor’s bestsellers, their prices including discounts, all relevant shipping terms such as cost and delivery times, and current promotional offers. It reflects current live data captured during the task run.

Typical results include between 20 and 50 top products analyzed, with detailed shipping terms and at least 3 types of ongoing promotions documented.

The audit usually completes within 30 to 45 minutes, and the data is presented in a clean spreadsheet with labeled columns and footnotes explaining any assumptions or unverified data points.

What to Expect and What Is Not Promised

The agent relies on publicly accessible data and site navigation, so certain dynamic or subscriber-only content may not be captured.

Sign-ins to your accounts on Katteb’s platform are secure, but the agent cannot bypass any competitor login walls or paywalled content.

Data accuracy depends on the competitor’s site stability and content updates during the audit process; sudden changes may cause slight discrepancies.

The agent does not perform deep market analysis or predict competitor strategy beyond direct data collection and organization.

All results are delivered as raw data and insights; interpretation and strategic use are up to the user.

Questions people ask
