# Competitor Research

Competitor Research is the Store Intelligence workflow. Open **Store Intelligence** from the Validate section of the sidebar and paste any Shopify store URL - Drilify compiles a detailed report covering revenue, traffic, products, technology, advertising and growth signals.

## What the Report Shows

- **Scale**, monthly revenue, visits and order value.
- **Catalog**, top products, new additions, price ranges and collections.
- **Traffic mix**, source and country breakdown with visit history.
- **Tech stack**, visible apps, payment methods and theme details.
- **Ad signals**, detected pixels and advertising activity.
- **Growth and keywords**, growth signals plus keyword volume and CPC data.

## How to Research a Competitor
