Look at what competitors are doing with AI, for freelancers

Checking local rivals means hopping between dozens of social pages and websites late at night. Hand that reading to AI so you get one clear summary of their offers, rates, and updates on your screen.

What to gather first

Links to three nearby competitor websites
Pasted text from their recent social posts
Your current list of services and prices

Which app

For this one, a plain AI chat window is enough: ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Open the chat, paste what you gathered, and type the message below. First time? Read how to talk to an AI.

How to do it

Collect the raw notes. Copy the text from service pages and recent posts of nearby businesses. Drop the links and snippets into a plain document. Do not worry about neat formatting.
Paste the text into AI. Open your chat window and paste the collected text alongside your instructions. Tell AI to sort what each business offers and lists as prices. AI reads through the messy text and pulls out the facts.
Ask for a comparison table. Have AI line up your services next to the other shops. AI builds a simple side-by-side view showing packages, public rates, and common phrases they use. You get one clean layout to scan.
Review and mark gaps. Read the draft against what you know about your local market. Look for services others skip or perks you offer that nobody mentions. Save your notes to adjust your own packages.

What to type first

Here is text from three local competitors' websites and my own service list. Compare our services, posted rates, and special offers in a simple table. Note anything they offer that I do not, and anything I include that they skip. Do not make up prices or guess missing details. Do not write marketing copy.

Change the words to match your business. AI follows what you say, so say what done looks like.

Before you trust it

Check that every listed price matches the text you pasted from their site.
Make sure AI did not invent packages or discounts that were not in your notes.
Verify that the businesses listed are actually the local rivals you pasted.

Once you have the comparison, you can draft fresh updates for your own service list to show what makes your shop different.
