How Do You Review a Competitor's Website With Your Team?

Most competitor reviews fail for one reason. The reviewer writes notes in a document and the page changes next week. Six months later nobody knows what the notes referred to.

TL;DR
Keep a dated copy of the competitor's page, then review that copy. Use Capture by Display to save the page as it looks today and publish it to a private link. Your teammates select text and comment against a short checklist. An agent reads the comments and writes a summary. The copy does not change when the competitor edits its site, so the notes stay accurate.

Most competitor reviews fail for one reason. The reviewer writes notes in a document and the page changes next week. Six months later nobody knows what the notes referred to.

This method fixes that. The page and the comments live together, and the page is a dated copy.


1) What you need

  • A Display account. Capture by Display needs one.
  • Desktop Chrome with the Capture extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  • Two to five teammates who are members of your Display organization.
  • An agent (Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or any other) for the summary.

2) Step by step

Step 1: Choose one page and one question

Pick one page. A pricing page or a home page works best. Write one question at the top of your notes, for example: "Why would a buyer choose them over us?"

A review with no question turns into a list of opinions.

Step 2: Capture the page

  1. Open the page in desktop Chrome. Scroll once to the bottom so lazy sections load.
  2. Select the Capture icon and sign in.
  3. Open the Publish panel and read the preview and the list of omissions.
  4. Keep the access rule private, or choose company access.
  5. Publish.

You now have a link to a copy of the page as it looked today. Put the date in the artifact name, for example "Acme pricing page – 14 Oct 2026".

Step 3: Comment against a checklist

Ask each reviewer to select text on the copy and comment. Give them this checklist so comments compare.

AreaQuestion to answer in a comment
HeadlineWhat does it promise, and to whom?
ProofWhat evidence does it show? Numbers, logos, quotes?
PriceHow is it framed? Per seat, flat, usage?
Call to actionWhat is the one action it asks for?
ObjectionsWhich doubt does it answer? Which does it skip?
Words we should not copyWhich claims can we not support?

You can also publish without comments and add them in the artifact later. Members of your organization comment on the artifact page.

Step 4: Ask an agent to summarize

Give the agent the link and a prompt like this:

Read the Display artifact at [link], including every comment.
Write a one-page summary for our product team:
1. Their positioning in two sentences.
2. A table: area, what they claim, what our reviewers said.
3. Three gaps we can use.
4. Claims we should not copy because we cannot prove them.
Publish the summary to Display with company access
and reply with the link.

The agent reads the page and the threads through Display's MCP server or CLI. It publishes the summary as a new document. Your team reads and comments on the summary in the same way.

Step 5: Repeat every quarter

Capture the same page again next quarter. Open both copies. You see what changed, and the dated names tell you when.


3) Where this method is weak

  • Capture is a copy of one page. It does not crawl a whole site.
  • Some content will be missing. Cross-origin frames, canvas graphics and protected video may be placeholders. Read the omission list.
  • Personalized pages differ. The copy shows what your browser saw. Another visitor may see something else.
  • A login wall blocks it. Capture does not fetch private assets with your cookies.
  • Guests cannot comment yet. If an outside advisor must review, they can view a copy you share. Collect their notes in a call and add them yourself.

4) Keep the copy private

A copy of someone else's site is for internal analysis. Do not make it public. Capture publishes as private by default, and an Owner can restrict Public sharing for the whole organization. Keep that setting if your company reviews competitors often.

Display is the docs workspace for agents and people. Any agent publishes docs and files to a link. Your team opens the link with the account they already use. They comment and edit in-line. Any agent or teammate can publish the next version to the same link.

FAQ

How do I review a competitor's landing page?+

Keep a dated copy of the page. Review the copy with a short checklist. Write each note as a comment on the copy.

Is it legal to copy a competitor's web page?+

Rules differ by country. A private copy kept for internal analysis is common practice, but ask your lawyer. Do not publish the copy or reuse its text or images.

Will the competitor know I captured their page?+

Capture runs in your browser and fetches public images and styles without your cookies. We cannot say whether a site owner can detect this, so do not rely on it being invisible.

Can my whole team comment?+

Members of your organization can. Outside guests can view but cannot comment yet.

Can an agent read the comments?+

Yes. The agent reads them through the Display CLI or MCP server, then replies or writes a summary.

What if the competitor changes the page?+

Your copy stays the same. Capture the page again and compare the two copies.
