SimilarWeb Insights

Give it a list of domains, get back their traffic, audience and competitor data from SimilarWeb.

What it does

• Returns website traffic stats and audience insights from SimilarWeb — total visits, engagement rates, top traffic sources and competitor performance.
• domains is an array, not a single string. Pass ["stripe.com", "google.com"] even when you only want one domain.
• This is the audience and competitor member of the traffic family. Choose it when you care where the traffic comes from, not just how much there is.

Which traffic tool to use

Parameters

How to use it

Get SimilarWeb insights for the domains ["acme.com"].

Get SimilarWeb insights for ["acme.com", "competitor-a.com", "competitor-b.com"].
Compare total visits and engagement, and tell me which one is growing.

For acme.com, break down top traffic sources. Are they paid-heavy or
organic-heavy? Write a one-line opener based on the answer.

Example prompts

Best prompting practices

• Always pass an array. A bare string is the most common failure on this tool. ["acme.com"], not "acme.com".
• Batch the comparison set into one call. Putting the account and its competitors in the same domains array is what makes the competitor read useful.
• Say “audience” or “traffic sources” or “competitors”. That phrasing routes your client here rather than to the SEO tool.
• Screen with the cheap tool first. find_company_website_traffic at 1 credit is enough to disqualify a domain before you spend 2 here.
• Ask for the comparison, not the table. “Which of these three is growing fastest” is the output you can use in an email.

Output

{
  "domains": [
    {
      "domain": "acme.com",
      "total_visits": 184000,
      "top_traffic_sources": ["direct", "organic search", "referral"]
    }
  ]
}

Credits and limits

2 credits per call. Run check_credits (free) before a large batch.
