Keyword Gap Link Gap Content Gap SERP Deep Dive
What's included

What a real competitor analysis finds.

Not a surface-level "here's what Ahrefs says" dump. Specific, actionable gaps you can close.

01

Keyword Gaps

Keywords your top 3 competitors rank for that you don't. Easiest wins — they've validated the keywords drive traffic.

02

Backlink Gaps

Sites that link to multiple competitors but not you. These sites are already linking to your industry — pitch opportunities.

03

Content Gaps

Topics competitors cover that you don't. Content formats they use that you miss. Angles only they're running.

04

SERP Analysis

Deep look at your top 20 target keyword SERPs. Who's ranking, what SERP features show, what formats win.

05

Winning Page Analysis

Reverse-engineering of competitor pages ranking top 3 — content structure, word count, internal links, schema, external backlinks.

06

Strategic Roadmap

Not just findings — specific recommendations. Content to create, pages to optimize, links to pursue. Prioritized by impact.

The method

How we analyze

Three phases. 10 business day delivery.

01 · Identify

True competitors, not vanity ones

Your competitor in business and your competitor in SERPs can be different. We identify who's actually ranking for your target keywords.

02 · Analyze

Keyword, link, content, SERP

Four dimensions analyzed in parallel. Everything cross-referenced to find patterns competitors don't even know they have.

03 · Deliver

Roadmap + walkthrough

You get a prioritized roadmap (not just a findings dump) + a 60-min walkthrough call. We tell you exactly what to do first.

Live client data

Receipts, not vanity metrics.

Real GSC data from real clients. If it's not in Google Search Console, it didn't happen.

FAQ

Honest answers to real questions

How many competitors do you analyze?

Standard: top 3 ranking competitors. Can expand to top 5-10 for enterprise or heavily contested markets.

What's the deliverable?

A written report (20-40 pages) with every gap identified + prioritized roadmap. Plus a 60-min walkthrough call.

How long does it take?

10 business days for most engagements. Enterprise: 15-20 days.

Do you implement the recommendations?

We can — or hand it to your team. The roadmap is actionable regardless of who executes.

What tools do you use?

Ahrefs, SEMrush, DataForSEO, Screaming Frog, SimilarWeb, custom scrapers. Nothing you can't get, but we know how to interpret the data.

Is this different from an SEO audit?

Yes. An SEO audit looks inward (your site). A competitor analysis looks outward (your rivals). Complementary — most clients get both.
