Drive high-intent traffic to your business and increase your digital market share.
Step 1: Understand the competitive landscape for any keyword
From Marketing Intelligence > Keyword Research, go to the Analyze Keywords module.
Enter a Keyword.
-
Use the filters at the top of the page to select the time frame and a country.
The Keyword Overview pages provide many insights on the performance of the keyword.
From the left menu, select Organic, Paid, or Mobile Competitors to analyze additional insights.
Take a close look at the following insights and metrics:
The Search Volume metric reveals the popularity of a keyword.
Compare Search Volume to Search Visits to determine the real values of popular keywords for destination sites.
Take note of the CPC price estimation so you can assess the demand for a particular keyword.
Track the impact of keywords over time
There are now two filters for reviewing the relative impact of a keyword within a competitive set.
Traffic Trend - Scale the graph to the maximum traffic point during the period being analyzed to highlight any gains and losses in traffic over time. This view helps to identify seasonality and time-specific trends for keywords.
Market Share - A traditional monthly/weekly/daily market share distribution of traffic from a given keyword or group to your competitive set.
Step 2 - Discover which sites are dominating your most relevant keywords
View the graph to reveal the traffic trends over time of the top 10 sites from your keyword or keyword group.
Look at the Domain column in the table to view a list of all the domains that receive traffic from a given keyword or group.
Analyze these sites further by referring to the Position Column - the Google SERP position of each domain.
Step 3 - Track your share of keywords that are most relevant to your business.
Monitor the performance of a brand, product line, campaign, or marketing initiative over time by creating and saving a keyword group of 200 keywords.
Click on the + New Keyword Group within Search Keyword Analysis.
Manually enter or paste up to 200 keywords, or use the Keyword Generator Tool to create a new Keyword Group.
Select the Choose Keyword Group section in the main menu bar to easily access and monitor your keyword groups.
Ensure that your time frame and country filters are set.
You can easily get a broader view of your market share by filtering to the last 12 months or more.
