Show HN: Competitor Finder – Paste your domain, get your top competitors (champsignal.com)

5 points by maximedupre 11mo ago ↗ HN

I built a simple tool to help founders figure out who their actual competitors are! You know... the ones your potential customers already know and compare you to.

Just paste your domain, and we generate a focused list of 10 competitors with names, sites, and a quick positioning note for each.

Why I built it: I run a competitor monitoring tool (https://champsignal.com), and I realized that before people can monitor competitors… they first need to find them. This is harder than you think for people that have not been around for years aha

(It's free and doesn't require signup)

Would love feedback, especially if you don't think it's giving you the right competitors. Happy to improve the product.

Is it restricted to analyzing the words of the domain name? Because it's inaccurate.

This tool assumes you have a competent marketing team that actually makes a website with good copy that makes it clear what your product or service is :)

Not the case for my company. Competitors were mostly right but it ranked a bunch way lower than they should be and ranked some non-competitors higher up

While the idea has merit (especially if it can research and list my competitors quickly), it doesn't seem to work. I submitted something (airoaster.app) and it gave me all links related to Coffee Roasting... I mean come on! It should at least try to parse the information present on the website "somewhat" properly, no ??

Pretty cool, ain't ChatGPT can do this too?
