Become more agile by monitoring the website of your competitors or their best landing pages to see what works and what doesn't.

Why use this Growth Hack?
It allows you to see what your competitors are doing and the changes they are making to their important home page.
If a new product is launched, for example, or if there is urgent “new information”, it is likely that it will be displayed on the pages of their website.
Being aware of the activities of your competitors is obviously beneficial. For example, seeing their editorial messages, offers, etc., allows you to understand their strategy.
If the business changes its homepage after 2 weeks, you can be sure that their bounce rate has increased and that the message in question has not worked.
Conversely, if they keep the new home page for more than two weeks, it's clear that what they introduced worked.
What I mean is that your competitors have put a lot of effort into doing split testing, etc.
Another use case could be creating an alert for a particular sales page that lists the features it offers.
Most marketing sales pages have a list of features. Being able to monitor these changes will help you discover the new features they've launched. Perhaps, for example, they are offering a new incentive or a discount.
Regardless, this hack has great value when deployed properly.
