Conducting a competitive gap analysis requires you to define your target market and customer segments, identify your main competitors and their offerings, choose the criteria that matter to your customers, collect and analyze data on how you and your competitors perform on each criterion, plot your results on a gap analysis matrix or chart, and interpret the results and formulate an action plan. You should focus on customers who are most likely to buy from you and have the highest lifetime value, select competitors who are directly or indirectly competing with you for the same customers and have similar or superior products or services, and choose attributes that influence customers' purchase decisions and satisfaction levels. You can use various sources of data, such as customer feedback, surveys, reviews, ratings, testimonials, social media, online research, etc., to visualize your results using a simple 2x2 matrix or a more complex spider chart. The matrix or chart will show you how you and your competitors rank on each criterion and where the gaps are. This information can be used to identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as well as prioritize areas that need improvement, enhancement, or innovation.
