Add inspiration from other sites

Spar can index up to 10 competitor or inspiration websites per store. Once they're indexed, you can search them from Inspiration > Browse and pull matching pages into any opportunity. For one-off examples you spot while browsing, use the Chrome extension instead (see the end of this page).

1. Add the sites

1. Go to Settings > Inspiration.
2. Paste a site's URL into the box and click Add. Repeat for each site, up to 10.
3. Not sure who to add? Click Suggest competitors. Spar lists suggested sites; click one to add it, or dismiss the ones you don't want. Suggest more fetches another batch.

2. Index them

Click Index all websites. Spar crawls each site's pages in the background; the button shows Indexing in progress... while it runs. You can leave the page.

3. Search the index

Open Inspiration > Browse in the sidebar. Describe what you're looking for in plain words (for example "size guide on product page") and Spar returns matching pages from the sites you indexed.

4. Attach inspiration to an opportunity

1. Open an opportunity's full page.
2. In the Inspiration card, click Find inspiration.

Spar searches your indexed sites for pages that handle the same problem and lists them on the opportunity, so you and your stakeholders can see how others solved it.

Save single pages with the Chrome extension

If you come across a good example on a site you haven't indexed, capture it with the Spar Chrome extension. Open Inspiration > Captures and click Add to Chrome to install it. You can then capture any region of a page in two clicks, and the capture shows up under Captures, where Spar reads its layout and copy and turns it into test ideas. Passwords, payment fields, and personal data are stripped before anything leaves the page.
