Grab your competitor's traffic

Will competitive intelligence help you shape your SEO strategy?

What exactly is SEO competitive analysis?

SEO competitive analysis involves researching the links, keywords, content, and more of your SEO competitors in order to reverse-engineer the most successful elements of these tactics into your own SEO strategy. Instead of guessing which keywords to target, content to create, or links to build, you can instead see what's already working for others, and build upon that success.

Methods of gathering competitive intelligence

It is a kin to scouting an opponent in sports; the goal is to find out what the competition does well, what it doesn't, and determine how to use information to your advantage.

Gathering Information : Competitive intelligence can be gathered by going through business ads or visiting the competitor’s website. We will find which business practices consumers like best by searching through business reviews.
Analyzing Information : Once a competitor’s information has been collected, it should be critically reviewed by us. Then we do SWOT analysis , since it considers the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. SWOT analysis is designed to make logical deductions about the useful aspects of an organization.

Tools we utilize
