Find the websites competing with your site for search traffic to help shape your keyword strategy with Search Competitors.
In order to improve your ranking, you have to understand which websites are competing for the same keywords so you can shape a strategy to beat them. With the Search Competitors tool, uncover who you are competing with for search traffic. The list of domains may be very different from your well-known business competitors, especially over a specific geography.
After you identify search competitors of interest, you can use the Search Overlap Score to determine the degree of overlap. Continue your analysis by doing finding keyword opportunities (otherwise known as a Keyword Gap) in the Website Keywords tool to discover how to win traffic share from them.
