Which proxies are suitable for competitor analysis?

Residential proxies usually suit regional data. Datacenter proxies can be used for a large number of independent pages, and mobile proxies for mobile versions of websites.

What competitor data can be collected?

From public sources you can collect competitor website rankings, prices, assortment, product and service specifications, offer texts, reviews, ratings and page changes.

Can I compare competitors in different regions?

Yes. Dynamic pools support country, state or region, city, ZIP and ASN. Actual availability of specific locations may change.

Do I need to change the IP on every request?

For independent competitor pages, the IP can change on every request. If a check includes several related actions, use timer rotation or a sticky session.

Can I keep one IP for the duration of a check?

Yes. Dynamic pools support sticky sessions with a TTL from 1 to 1000 minutes; the recommended value is no more than 30 minutes. For a permanent IP, use static DC proxies or static ISP proxies.

Which protocols are supported?

All PSB Proxy pools support HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.

Is there an API for integration with a competitor analysis system?

Yes. PSB Proxy provides a Public API for integration and managing proxy settings.

Does purchased traffic expire?

No. Purchased traffic never expires.

How do I get started?

Sign up, pay for a plan and set up the configuration: country, city, ASN, ZIP, rotation.

How many ports can be used at the same time?

The standard limit is up to 2,500 ports. It can be raised on request if needed.

Which authentication methods are available?

Login and password, IP whitelist and token are available.

Can I analyze any competitor websites?

You must follow the rules of the specific website, restrictions on automated access, data rights and applicable law. Banking and government websites are technically blocked for use through PSB Proxy.

Data needed for competitor analysis

For competitor analysis it is important to track not only prices and assortment but also search visibility, rankings, content, website structure, promotions and regional offers. This data helps understand how competitors are presented in search, which pages and products they promote and how they change their offers.

Regular monitoring lets you spot changes in rankings and search results, new pages and products, and updates to prices, content and terms in different regions.

Proxies help check websites and search results from the right countries and cities and spread large request volumes across IPs during automated data collection.
