Ghostery: via the Chrome extension saudi arabia number phone Ghostery you can find out which trackers are on the website. Often it means that if a customer has multiple trackers, that they are also doing something about (online) marketing. Fewer trackers often means less priority.
A/B Testing: If you found out in the previous step that your competitor has an A/B testing tool on their site, such as Optimizely, you can use Conversion.com's Optimizely Chrome Extension to track those experiments.
Tagbird: via the Chrome extension Tagbird you can find out if interactions are measured on the website. Turn on the tool, and try clicking on a phone number.

Again, if less is measured, it is probably a less interesting competitor to follow.
Social media engagement: see how many social media followers these businesses have. They may not be far off with their website, but they get their customers from other channels.
