What Is a Competitive Analysis?

A competitive analysis is a structured research process used to identify your direct competitors, indirect alternatives, substitute products, and the brands competing for your audience’s attention. It examines each competitor’s strengths, weaknesses, share of voice, positioning axes, pricing, features, and messaging so you can understand where you stand and how to differentiate effectively. A thorough competitor analysis will also help you to uncover competitor strategies and discover new opportunities and market trends. In Creately, you can connect your research directly to visual frameworks, and then turn those insights into action, so that competitive analysis shapes your roadmap, pricing, and messaging.

How to Conduct a Competitive Analysis

  • Open a competitive analysis template:

    Launch Creately and choose a ready-made template to get started. The competitive analysis tool lets you pick from frameworks like SWOT, PEST, Porter’s Five Forces, and 7Ps.
  • List your competitors and key factors:

    Add sticky notes, text fields, or cards to capture competitor names, product offerings, pricing, positioning, strengths, and weaknesses. Identify the criteria you want to compare such as product features, messaging, market share, target audience, or channels to maintain consistency across your analysis.
  • Organize your research on the canvas:

    Place your competitor details into the template layout and use drag-and-drop tools to arrange everything clearly. Add notes, links, screenshots, and files directly onto shapes so your entire research stays context-rich and easy to follow. Pull in data from CSVs or spreadsheets to build deeper competitive dashboards.
  • Analyze and compare competitors:

    Use the template’s structured sections to evaluate each competitor. Break down their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, or analyze forces, messaging gaps, or strategic positions depending on the framework you’re using. Switch between different models like SWOT, PEST, Porter’s Five Forces with the same research to see patterns from multiple angles.
  • Review insights and share your findings:

    Collaborate with real-time cursors, comments, and @ mentions to gather input from teammates or stakeholders. Use workspace statuses like Draft, In Progress, or Final to keep everyone aligned as insights evolve. Once your analysis is complete, share the workspace, export your findings, or turn insights into action steps with Creately’s built-in project management tools.
