Great list and as Adam above stated that these tools are more for bigger organisations with 1m+ of budget on Search likewise mentioned in Avinash’s competitive intelligence article on his blog.

In my opinion competitive intelligence is only good of your organisation is not exactly very small and have $100+ a month of a budget to be spent on it.

One fairly popular tool in UK is adthena that I and a few of my fellow colleagues have been using, indeed is very accurate particularly after its calibration with adwords. I think tools like this are a goldmine for agencies specially for a new pitch and initial client prep.

thanks,

Competitive intelligence isn’t always a great investment for small businesses. If your competitors are other small businesses, there typically isn’t much information available about them. They also don’t necessarily have the ability to influence your business much since they’re also small. Doing research on customers, prospects, and market trends may be a better use of your time. So is working on your product or service offering.

Having said that, I’ve been working on a business research tool called Brekiri. The beta version is available at dev.brekiri.com, and you can use it to research companies and industries. It combines company data, financial filings from the SEC, and web search. Give it a try!
