Outcome: A tailored marketing roadmap with actionable recommendations to support future business growth
Overview
Canissage approached Clever Animal Marketing looking for a deeper understanding of their competitive landscape and opportunities for growth. Rather than a generic competitor review, they wanted a bespoke report focused on the areas most relevant to their business, products and future ambitions.
Using my marketing expertise and in-depth knowledge of the pet industry, I created a tailored Competitor Insight Pack, accompanied by a detailed comparison spreadsheet analysing their competitors’ websites, SEO performance, paid advertising, social media activity and wider marketing strategies.
The result was a practical report that not only highlighted where Canissage stood within the market but also provided actionable recommendations to strengthen their marketing and support future business growth.
The Challenge
As an innovative business operating within a niche area of canine health, Canissage wanted to better understand:
- How they compared against key competitors
- Where opportunities existed within the market
- Their strengths and weaknesses compared to competitors
- How competitors were marketing their products
- Opportunities to improve their online visibility
- Practical actions that could support future business growth
Because of the specialist nature of the business, a standard competitor report wouldn’t have provided the level of insight they were looking for. Instead, the project required a bespoke approach focused specifically on Canissage’s objectives.
My Approach
Following discussions with the Canissage team, I carried out extensive research into both direct and indirect competitors before producing a tailored Competitor Insight Pack.
The report was built specifically around the client’s priorities, ensuring every recommendation was relevant to their business and future plans.
The project included:
- Market & Competitor Analysis
- Analysis of direct and indirect competitors
- Review of competitor positioning and messaging
- Identification of strengths, weaknesses and market opportunities
- SWOT analysis tailored to Canissage
- Assessment of emerging market trends
- Digital Marketing Review
Alongside the report, I created a detailed comparison spreadsheet reviewing competitors’ digital marketing activity, including:
- Website strengths and weaknesses
- SEO visibility and keyword rankings
- Google Ads activity
- Social media presence and engagement
- Content marketing activity
- Overall digital marketing performance
This gave Canissage a clear understanding of how competitors were attracting customers and where opportunities existed to differentiate themselves.
A Bespoke Report, Not a Template
Every business is different, which is why this wasn’t an off-the-shelf report.
The Competitor Insight Pack was tailored specifically to Canissage’s products, market position and growth ambitions. Rather than simply presenting competitor information, I interpreted the findings and translated them into practical recommendations that the team could implement.
The report included strategic guidance on areas such as:
- SEO opportunities
- Content marketing
- Brand positioning
- Customer trust and education
- Website improvements
- Veterinary partnerships
- Customer retention
- Lead generation
- Long-term marketing strategy
The goal wasn’t just to identify what competitors were doing—it was to uncover opportunities that could help Canissage strengthen their own marketing and stand out within a competitive marketplace.
Going Above & Beyond
I always strive to provide more than just a report.
To ensure Canissage gained as much value as possible from the project, I also:
- Produced a comprehensive competitor comparison spreadsheet for easy reference
- Reviewed competitors’ websites, SEO performance, paid advertising and social media channels
- Identified gaps in the market that Canissage could capitalise on
- Highlighted quick wins alongside longer-term strategic opportunities
- Tailored every recommendation to Canissage’s products, target audience and future goals
- Made myself available to answer questions and arrange follow-up calls to discuss the findings and recommendations
My aim was to create a practical resource that the team could continue referring back to as they develop and refine their marketing strategy.
The Outcome
The finished Competitor Insight Pack gave Canissage a much clearer understanding of their market, competitors and future opportunities.
Rather than receiving a list of observations, the team gained tailored, actionable recommendations that could be used to refine their marketing strategy and support future business growth.
The bespoke nature of the report meant it addressed the specific challenges and opportunities facing Canissage, providing insights that were directly relevant to their business and ambitions.
Client Testimonial
“We took Elle’s offer of a competitor insight pack a few months ago, and it has provided valuable information that we, as a business, hadn’t previously considered.
The report was thorough, insightful, and gave us plenty to think about, as well as practical actions to implement.
Elle was accommodating with our requests and was always at hand to answer questions or arrange calls to discuss different aspects of the report.
She has been a pleasure to work with throughout the process. I would highly recommend Elle to any business in this sector. Her expertise, professionalism and support make her a real asset.”

A Fantastic Client to Work With
Canissage were a pleasure to work with throughout the project. They had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve, were engaged throughout the process and were open to discussing ideas and recommendations. Their collaboration helped ensure the final report was tailored to their exact requirements, making it a genuinely bespoke resource that could support their future marketing strategy.
It was also fascinating to learn more about Canissage’s innovative canine therapy technology and the positive impact it can have on dogs’ mobility, recovery and overall wellbeing. Taking the time to understand their product, the science behind it and the difference it makes to dogs allowed me to produce recommendations that were not only tailored to their business but also aligned with their long-term vision. It was a genuine pleasure to support a company developing such an innovative solution for canine health.
