Competitor Analysis

SEO COMPETITOR ANALYSIS IDENTIFIES YOUR AUDIENCE

The path to success is often rife with mistakes that can sink a business before it even leaves the harbour. Competitor analysis provides you with a clear picture of the market and enables you to target customers that are looking for a brand they trust.

Today’s consumers typically start their purchasing journey with a search engine. Whilst prices and the quality of customer service might be the general priority, today’s savvy consumers are hypercritical about brands.

They evaluate the quality of your content strategy, the performance of your website on mobile, the design and layout of your website and more. User-experience is critical.

During the research stage, search engine users also compare brands to determine which services they offer, which USPs resonate with them and whether they provide solutions to their pain points.

Moreover, online shoppers are open to trying out new brands. If they have not previously had a good shopping experience with other brands they will look for alternative options.

Subsequently, SEO is no longer an option; it’s foundational. That also means that analysing the online performance of your competitors is also critical. Competitor analysis plays a key role in the development of your own strategies.

Understanding your competition not only determines how you stack up against your rivals and where you fit in the market, but it also identifies the complaints and demands of your target audience.

Consequently, competitor analysis heavily influences your content strategy, your marketing message and how to develop a brand identity. To capture your market share, identify the gaps your competitors have missed.

With years of experience performing competitor analysis and SEO for B2B, B2C and eCommerce companies, I provide valuable insights that give you an edge over your competitors.

In-depth data analysis enables you to see the wider picture in the digital landscape. With valuable insights to hand, you are in a stronger position to implement a marketing strategy that puts you ahead of your rivals.

Consumers typically steer towards brands that resonate with them on an emotional level. Basically, they prefer brands that have a personality which matches their own. Mould your brand in the shape of your audience.
