What is an SEO competitor analysis?
An SEO competitor analysis is a study of the websites that appear above yours in search results. It looks at which searches they show up for, which topics they cover that you do not, how their pages and site are structured, who links to them, and whether AI tools mention them. The purpose is practical: to find the specific gaps you can close, and to avoid wasting effort where a competitor is too far ahead.
Signs you need this
- The same two or three competitors show up above you every time
- You are not sure who your real competitors in search are
- You are about to invest in content and want to aim it well
- A competitor's traffic seems to have jumped
- ChatGPT recommends them and not you
The work
What does the analysis cover?
Who you really compete with
Your search competitors are often not your business competitors. We find who actually takes the clicks for your most valuable searches.
Content gaps
Topics and questions your competitors answer and you do not, sorted by how valuable and how winnable each one is.
How their site is built
Their page types, site structure, and internal linking, so you can see the pattern behind their results.
Depth and freshness
How thorough their pages are and how often they publish or update.
Who links to them
The websites that mention them and might mention you, which feeds a link building plan.
Visibility in AI answers
Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI summaries mention them, and what those tools say.

How it works
Three steps

Or we find them from the searches that matter most to you.

A short document and a call, ready to act on.
What this will not do
A competitor analysis uses public information and third-party estimates. We cannot see a competitor's private data, such as their real traffic or sales, and any traffic figures are estimates.
FAQ
Questions about SEO competitor analysis
Want to learn the method yourself? Read AI SEO strategies.
How do you find my SEO competitors?
We look at who ranks for the searches that bring you customers. These search competitors are often different from the businesses you think of as rivals, and can include directories, publishers, and marketplaces.
Is it legal to analyze a competitor's website?
Yes. A competitor analysis uses only publicly available information, the same pages any visitor or search engine can see.
Should I copy what my competitors do?
Copy the patterns that clearly work, such as page types or topics they cover, and then do them better. Copying text is plagiarism and does not rank. The goal is to find what is missing from every competing page and provide it.
