SEO competitor analysis service

A competitor analysis shows where your rivals get their traffic, which keywords and links they own, whether they pay for ads and where the market is open, so you put your budget where competition is weakest instead of copying the leader.

What does an SEO competitor analysis cover?

An SEO competitor analysis compares your site with the businesses that win the searches you want. It looks at traffic trends, marketing channels, geography, organic keywords, paid keywords, top pages and backlink profiles, then turns the differences into decisions: which keywords to target (see keyword research), which links to earn, whether to run ads and which audience a rival is losing. In 2026 it should also check which competitors AI assistants already recommend, the starting point for GEO.

Signs you need this

  • You're entering a new market or launching a new product
  • A competitor suddenly outranks you
  • You don't know whether rivals win through SEO, ads or referrals
  • You need to justify an SEO or ads budget
  • AI assistants recommend competitors when asked about your category
  • You want link ideas that are proven in your niche

What's included

  • Traffic and trend

    Visits over several years, engagement and bounce rate, to spot who is growing and who is fading.

  • Channels and geography

    Organic, paid, referral and social mix, and the countries traffic comes from.

  • Keywords

    Organic keywords by intent, branded vs. non-branded, keyword gap and missing keywords.

  • Paid search

    Who bids on Google Ads, and for which terms.

  • Backlinks

    Referring domains, anchors, link types and the backlink gap.

  • AI visibility

    Which competitors AI assistants name for your key buyer questions.

How I work

  1. Pick the right competitors. The sites winning your searches, not only the ones you know.
  2. Collect the same data for each. Same areas, same period, so comparisons are fair.
  3. Compare. Side-by-side tables and trends.
  4. Find openings. Gaps in keywords, channels, links and audience.
  5. Recommend. Concrete next moves, in order.

What one analysis found

In a medical 3D and XR market, three competitors were compared across seven areas. The leader had the strongest backlink profile (1.3K referring domains), yet its visits fell from 168.9K in 2022 to 96.1K in 2023. No competitor got more than about 500 organic visits a month, and none ran paid search ads. The recommendation: in a market where even the leader barely shows up in organic search, consistent keyword-led content plus authority links is the fastest path to visibility, not outspending competitors.

Questions about this service

How many competitors should I analyze?

Usually three to five. Past projects compared three competitors for a medical XR client and five UK dealers for a car dealer, which is enough to see patterns without diluting the analysis.

Are traffic numbers from SEO tools exact?

No. Semrush traffic figures are estimates, best used to compare competitors with each other and over time, not as exact counts.

What do I receive?

A report per competitor or a combined comparison, with the gaps and openings and a clear list of recommended next moves. For the medical XR client, each competitor report ran 35-38 pages.

Can you check which competitors AI assistants recommend?

Yes. I run your key buyer questions through AI assistants and record which brands are named and which sources are cited.

How is this different from keyword research?

Keyword research finds the searches to target. Competitor analysis shows who already wins them, how, and where they are weak. The two work best together.
