    How we work?

    • Putting together a list of competitors

      In the online business, competitors are usually called sites seeking to take the first lines of search results for the same keywords as you. To find them and analyze the traffic of a competitor's website, we use professional software and services that speed up and automate the process. At this step, we take into account the search engine in which the client plans to promote the site, region, and a number of other parameters. This helps you identify competitors and complete the next analysis steps accurately and quickly.

    • Analyzing traffic

      The list of competitors is collected and then we determine what traffic indicators they have, from which sources their visitors come to them: from search results, social networks, email newsletters, contextual advertising, etc. This data is further used to determine the channels that can lead many visitors to your site, but which you do not develop.

    • Analyzing technical issues

      One of the important parameters that we determine when analyzing rivals’ sites is the authority of their domains. This value shows the "strength" of the domain - the higher the indicator, the easier it is for a site to get top positions in search results. At the stage of competitive link analysis, we also determine other important information. For example, we analyze page indexing and link mass. This data helps the company to build a high-quality link profile and understand whether to increase the number of pages on the site.

    • Evaluating site’s usability

      When a resource is inconvenient to use and a visitor has to think for a long time, how, for example, to put a product in the basket or where to see the prices for services, it is highly likely that this visitor will not stay on the site for a long time. At this step, we analyze the usability indicators of competitors and determine which elements boost conversion, increase the depth of page views or the time spent on the site. An example is a correctly composed page linking.

    • Semantic core forming

      Even if the semantic core of the site is perfectly composed and includes hundreds of high-, medium- and low-frequency keywords, it is possible that some queries are still missed. It is possible that competitors receive traffic from them. To determine these queries, we analyze the keywords of competitors that bring the most visitors to their sites. The information obtained is also used to determine highly competitive requests, which are expensive and time-consuming to promote the site.

    • Analyzing the structure and pages of sites

      A good site structure increases the time users spend on it, the depth of page views and conversion rates. It also affects the speed of site indexing and increasing the efficiency of promotion due to the correct distribution of key phrases across the pages. By analyzing the structure of competitors' sites, we determine its strengths, which improve user experience and increase conversion. Based on this information, we give recommendations for finalizing and optimizing the structure of your online resource.

    • Competitors’ content research

      Texts, images, and videos are the main content of sites, by optimizing which, you can increase positions in SERP and boost traffic, increase conversions, company awareness, and authority. To be outstanding, it is important that the content on your site is better, more understandable, and more voluminous than your competitors have. At this stage of the analysis, we determine which content on the site of business rivals gets high positions in a large number of requests, we investigate the structure and design of this content, meta tags, etc.

    • Writing a report

      When all the information from a competitive intelligence SEO is collected, we create a detailed report and give it to the business owner or the employee responsible for the promotion. In this report, we describe each analyzed item in a simple and understandable way. It also includes detail recommendations for improvements that will help you outperform competitors. You can start implementing them immediately. If after receiving the report, the business has questions, we give detailed answers.
