What is Competitor Analysis?
Competitor analysis is the practice of studying your competitors' online strategies to identify what they do well, where they are weak and where you can gain an advantage. In SEO, this means mapping their keyword rankings, content strategy, backlink profile, technical health and AI search visibility.
- Keyword gap analysis: keywords your competitors rank for and you do not
- Content gap analysis: topics and formats driving their traffic
- Backlink profile comparison: where their links come from and where you are missing out
- Technical SEO benchmarking: site speed, crawlability and indexation
- AI search visibility: how competitors appear in ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews
