Website change monitoring for competitor prices and pages
Website change monitoring watches the web pages that matter to your business and shows what changed: a new price, a promotion, an updated offer or a removed link. Rankmetr tracks rival pages, Google Shopping and the links you paid for, so you do not have to check them by hand.
What is website change detection?
Website change detection compares a page with its previous version on a schedule and records the difference. Instead of opening ten competitor sites every morning, you see only what was updated: a new price, a changed headline, a different offer in the hero block.
For most businesses the useful changes are competitor pricing, promotions and texts on key pages. For SEO teams there is one more: whether the backlinks you bought or earned are still on the donor page.
What you can monitor
Prices on rival pages
Competitor price monitoring on product and service pages, so you know when someone goes lower or higher.
Promotions and offers
New discounts, bundles and banners on competitor sites.
Page text
Changes in headlines, descriptions and service lists that show where a rival is moving.
Google Shopping prices
A Google Shopping price tracker: prices and sellers of a product. Not available for Georgia.
Bought links
Checks that a link you paid for is still live on the donor page.
How change monitoring works
- 01
Choose pages
Add competitor product pages, price lists, landing pages or donor pages with your links.
- 02
Pick what to watch
The whole page or only a specific block, such as the price, so small updates elsewhere do not create noise.
- 03
Automatic checks
Pages are checked automatically, including sites built on JavaScript.
- 04
Review changes
You get a Telegram notification when a page changes, see exactly what changed in the history and decide what to do: adjust your pricing, update an offer or ask a donor to restore a link.
Change monitor or price tracking tool?
A price tracking tool focuses on one number per product and is built for stores with large catalogs. A website change monitor watches any web content: offers, terms, landing pages, documents and the pages where your links are placed.
Many teams need both: automated checks of the pages that shape customer decisions, and a structured view of prices for products sold online. Rankmetr covers both cases with one set of tools, and when you need data from hundreds of pages at once, it hands the job to web scraping.

From changes to price intelligence
Single changes are useful; a pattern is better. Combined with competitor analysis, monitoring shows not only who changed a price but who is winning the same search results. For collecting data from many pages at once, see web scraping. To know when your own site goes down, use website monitoring.
FAQ
How do I monitor a website for changes?
Add the page to a website change monitor, choose the part to watch and let automated checks run. You see only what changed instead of rereading the whole page.
How do I track competitor prices?
Monitor competitor product pages and, for products sold through Google Shopping, track prices and sellers there. Rankmetr does both.
What is price intelligence?
It is collecting and comparing competitor prices over time to make pricing decisions based on the market rather than on guesses.
Is price scraping illegal?
Collecting publicly shown prices is common practice in ecommerce. Rules differ by country and by site terms, so check them for your market. Rankmetr collects data from company pages, not personal data.
Does it work for Google Shopping in Georgia?
No. Google Shopping prices and sellers are available for other countries; competitor pages in Georgia can still be monitored directly.
