A Complete Picture of Your SEO Competition
To build an effective SEO strategy, you need to know exactly who you are competing against online — and what it will take to outrank them. Our competitor analysis goes beyond surface-level tools and delivers insights you can act on.
Keyword Gap Analysis
We map the keywords your competitors rank for that you do not — revealing content and page opportunities you are currently missing. Every gap is prioritised by search volume, intent, and difficulty.
Backlink Profile Comparison
We analyse the backlink profiles of your top competitors to find the sources giving them the most authority — and identify which of those links you can realistically acquire through our link building service.
Content Strategy Analysis
We look at the types of content ranking well for your competitors — page length, structure, topics, and E-E-A-T signals — and build recommendations for your own content to match or surpass what is working.
Technical SEO Benchmarking
We benchmark your technical SEO health against competitors — Core Web Vitals, crawlability, mobile performance, and schema — to identify where technical gaps are costing you rankings.

What does an SEO competitor analysis include?
A full SEO competitor analysis covers: which competitors rank for your target keywords, their backlink profiles and domain authority, their content strategy, their technical SEO health, and the gaps in their coverage that you can exploit.
How many competitors do you analyse?
We typically analyse the top 3–5 competitors ranking for your most commercially important keywords. This gives a clear picture of what is needed to compete effectively without creating an unwieldy report.
How do you use competitor analysis to improve my rankings?
We identify what is working for your competitors — content themes, backlink sources, page structure, and keyword targeting — and build a strategy to match or surpass them in the areas where you have the best opportunity.
Can you identify competitors I did not know I had?
Yes. Online competitors are not always the same as business competitors. We identify the sites ranking above you for your key terms — including directories, aggregators, and comparison sites — and factor these into the strategy.
