COMPETITOR SETUP

Follow the right Page.
Read the right context.

A brand name, an advertiser Page, and a country check are not interchangeable.

Add a competitor

Search by name or submit a website or Page reference. Review matches and confirm the actual Meta Page. The product should show the Page identifier and any available source context before using a slot.

How slots are counted

One distinct advertiser Page uses one competitor slot. Three regional Pages use three slots even when they belong to the same brand. Multiple supported market checks on the same Page do not use additional Page slots.

How markets are counted

The proposed Core allowance is five supported markets per followed Page. Coverage and timestamps remain separate for each market. A record observed in one market must not be automatically labeled as observed in every selected market.

Replacing a competitor

Removing a Page stops new subscribed tracking for that slot. It does not guarantee deletion of public-source library records or alter evidence already used in an existing report. The product must explain any retained workspace data and its retention period before launch.

Pending and partial checks

Existing records may appear while a first check or deeper history is still pending. Watch the coverage state instead of treating a placeholder count as zero. Newest relevant records are the intended starting point; complete backfill has no universal deadline.

Need a priority check?

The product specification includes a limited request to prioritize one Page rather than letting users reorder the entire collection queue. A 48-hour check target is an internal design proposal and must not become a public guarantee until validated. A check also cannot guarantee new records or complete history.

Page identity looks wrong

Submit the Page identifier, selected market, and a short explanation through Contact. Do not merge or silently substitute Pages when their relationship is uncertain.
