Market Expansion Planner
Find untapped geographic markets by comparing your traffic distribution against competitors across countries.
The Challenge
You want to expand into new markets, but you don't know which countries to prioritize. Your competitors are already getting traffic from regions you haven't touched. Figuring out which markets have real demand — and which competitors are already there — normally takes weeks of research and expensive market intelligence reports.

Geographic Gap Analysis
Compare country-level traffic share across you and your competitors
Market Sizing
Estimate addressable visits per country from real traffic data
Ranked Opportunities
Prioritize markets by gap size, competitor density, and confidence

The Prompt
The Prompt
Task
Use @SimilarWeb/Get Traffic DataName it "SimilarWeb/Get Traffic Data" and call it with @SimilarWeb/Get Traffic Data to analyze the geographic traffic distribution for your company and competitors. Identify countries where competitors are strong but you have low penetration, then rank those markets by opportunity size and export the analysis to Google Sheets using @Google Sheets/Append RowName it "Google Sheets/Append Row" and call it with @Google Sheets/Append Row.
Example: Find geographic expansion opportunities for Canva by comparing their traffic distribution against Figma, Adobe, and Sketch across different countries.
Input
The user will provide:
- Their company domain (or a company to analyze)
- 2-4 competitor domains
- (Optional) Google Sheets spreadsheet ID for export

Context
What to Search For
Geographic signals:
- Country-level traffic share percentages from SimilarWeb
- Countries where competitors have 10%+ traffic share but you have under 3%
- Total monthly visits per country (traffic share * total visits)
- Whether traffic is growing in those regions (use Google Search for market context)
Market context:
- Local competitors in underserved regions
- Language and localization requirements
- Market size indicators (GDP, internet penetration)
Search Strategy
- Pull SimilarWeb traffic data for your domain and each competitor
- Extract TopCountryShares for all domains
- Build a matrix: countries as rows, companies as columns, traffic share as values
- Identify gaps where competitors have meaningful share but you don't
- Use @google_searchName it "google_search" and call it with @google_search to research market conditions in the top opportunity countries
- Export ranked opportunities to Google Sheets
What Counts as a Valid Result
- Only use actual SimilarWeb country share data — don't estimate
- A "gap" means competitor has 5%+ share and you have under 2%
- Note total addressable visits (competitor visits * country share) as a proxy for market size
- Flag countries with multiple competitors present as higher-confidence opportunities
