This guide has been written for people who don’t want to hire an agency/freelancer to do the SEO competitor analysis for them. Be aware you need some kind of tool to pull SEO data from your competitor. In this guide, I’ll be using SE Ranking, but there are plenty of tools available for you.
When you want to start optimizing your website it’s great to start with an SEO competitor analysis. The analysis can tell you where profit opportunities lie. In this guide, we will check how competitors are doing and how you can profit from that.
The first thing we want is to collect the data on the current website. This data can be compared to the competitors and will in the end tell you what areas you could focus on. It will also tell you which keywords to leave alone since you might already be ranking on them.
Time to collect the competitor. Sometimes you can find them in the tool itself. From experience, I can say it is better to find your competitors yourself instead of using a tool for it. Only use the tool to discover competitors, but rate them by going to their website.
Time to merge all the data! It’s getting more excited right?!
We can now easily filter information and find low-hanging fruit. Also, we can work on a content inventory.
Collecting, merging, and filtering data will lead to some great low-hanging fruit insights. You can prioritize the content inventory and start creating new pages/blogs with awesome content to start ranking on the keywords you found.
Are you ready to start creating content, but you don’t know how? Make sure to check this blog called How to Write Content That People are Looking For.
