How to Monitor Competitor Blogs with RSS

Track competitor blog posts automatically using RSS feeds. Get alerts via email, Slack, or Discord whenever they publish.

Why Monitor Competitor Content?

Knowing what your competitors publish helps you stay ahead. Track their content strategy, spot trends, and respond quickly to market changes — all automatically via RSS.

Setting Up Competitor Monitoring

Set up automatic competitor tracking:

  1. 1Find your competitor's blog RSS feed (usually at /feed, /rss, or /blog/feed)
  2. 2Add each competitor's feed to Brevofeed
  3. 3Set up email digests for daily summaries
  4. 4Or configure Slack/Discord webhooks for instant alerts
  5. 5Use the dashboard to review all competitor activity in one place

Getting Instant Alerts

For time-sensitive monitoring, set up bot alerts. Brevofeed can send webhook notifications to Slack, Discord, or Telegram whenever a competitor publishes new content.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I know when a competitor publishes?
Depending on your plan, Brevofeed checks feeds every 5-60 minutes. With bot alerts enabled, you'll get a notification within minutes of a new post.
Can I monitor competitors without RSS feeds?
If a competitor's site doesn't have RSS, you can use a service like FetchRSS to create a feed from their page, then monitor that feed with Brevofeed.
