While it’s common to focus on direct competitors when planning an SEO campaign, many businesses overlook the competition from sites that offer a very different product or service but still compete with them in search rankings.

Competitive Analysis Matrix

The competitive analysis matrix is a graph showing how you and your competitors rank for overall site traffic and keywords. This is a quick way to understand where you fit within your industry. We use this to make informed decisions regarding SEO strategy and guide you to become a leader amongst your competition.

Paid Advertising Keywords

An often overlooked strategy that we use is analyzing what keywords your competitors are targeting with their paid advertising. This provides insight into what your customer base is searching for when they want to find information about the products and services of your industry. You can use this information to figure out which topics are most important to your target audience and how you can improve your own content to better meets those needs. It’s using your competitor’s budget to improve your organic rankings.

Keyword Overlap

Keyword overlap shows where you and your competitors rank for the same keyword in SERPs. This gives insight into how to improve your long-term ranking by finding out what strategies are working best so you can apply them to your site. It can also identify indirect competitors outside your industry that consistently rank for similar keywords.

Keyword Gap

Wouldn’t it be great if you could figure out how to attract your competitors’ customers? A keyword gap analysis can help with that. We analyze the top players in your industry and what keywords they rank highly for. Keyword relevance, search volume, keyword intent, and difficulty are all weighted when determining the bottom line: which new keywords will be most effective in growing your customer base.

Backlink Profiles

Search engines use backlinks as a way of determining who is an expert for that keyword. Our backlink audit compares the quantity and quality of domains and links leading to your site with that of your competitors. Knowing how you are performing with backlinks helps determine which strategies to focus on. It is ideal to grow the number of high authority domains linking to your content, but equally important to reduce the effect low authority links have on your overall rating. Furthermore, backlink profiles give you the opportunity to identify domains that link to competitor sites that you could look to partner with.
