How does Tomiru find my competitors?

Enter your website and location. AI searches your local area for businesses in the same industry and automatically identifies everyone competing for the same customers. You don't need to provide competitor URLs.

Is the first report really free?

Yes. Your first competitor report is completely free, no credit card required. You'll see what competitors near you are charging, what services they offer, and whether they're running ads. After that, real-time alerts start at $25/month.

What does Tomiru track about my competitors?

Tomiru monitors competitor websites for price changes, new services, special offers, and ad campaigns on Google, Facebook, and Instagram. It compares everything to your business and tells you what you can do about it.

How is Tomiru different from Visualping or Distill?

Visualping and Distill watch a single page and tell you when it changed. Tomiru finds your competitors for you, tracks all of them at once, extracts actual prices and services, monitors ad campaigns, compares findings to your business, and gives you AI recommendations.

How fast do I get alerts?

On paid plans, Tomiru monitors continuously and alerts you the moment a competitor changes a price, launches an ad, or adds a service. Starter sends email alerts, Pro adds SMS and WhatsApp. Ultimate monitors all competitors non-stop.

Yes. Tomiru only collects public business data — prices, services, and offers that competitors publish openly on their websites. We use official search APIs, respect robots.txt, rate-limit our requests, and never bypass logins or use fake accounts.

What types of businesses use Tomiru?

Tomiru is built for local service businesses: dental clinics, law firms, salons, spas, real estate agents, physiotherapy practices, and restaurants. If you have competitors nearby and a website, Tomiru works for you.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Tomiru is fully web-based. Enter your website, get your report by email. Alerts come to your email, phone via SMS, or WhatsApp. No dashboards to log into, no software to install.

Tomiru vs SEMrush: Competitor Tracking for Local Businesses vs SEO Pros

SEMrush is a powerful SEO platform — but it's built for marketing professionals who understand keyword difficulty scores, backlink profiles, and organic traffic estimates. If you run a dental clinic or a salon, you don't need any of that. You need to know what the dentist across the street is charging and whether they just launched a Facebook ad.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tomiru a cheaper SEMrush alternative?expand_more

For local business competitor tracking, yes. Tomiru starts at $25/month versus SEMrush at $129.95/month. But Tomiru doesn't replace SEMrush's SEO tools — it's a different product for a different audience. Tomiru tracks real-world competitor data (prices, services, ads) for local businesses, while SEMrush tracks online marketing metrics.

Does Tomiru track Google Ads like SEMrush?expand_more

Yes, but differently. SEMrush shows you keyword-level ad data and estimated ad spend. Tomiru tells you that a specific local competitor is running a Google ad and what the ad says — which is more actionable for a local business owner.

Can I use both Tomiru and SEMrush?expand_more

Yes. They serve different purposes. SEMrush for your SEO strategy, Tomiru for local competitor intelligence delivered to your phone.
