While implementing the changes to the website, our team was keeping an eye on their direct competitors. They were particularly interested in their traffic insights, such as:
- Estimated monthly traffic
- Traffic sources
- Top keywords
- Backlinks
First, by performing a Backlink Gap analysis, the backlinks that were present in the competitors but not in the brand were analyzed.
Using the Semrush Domain Overview, our team focused on competitors with high traffic on unbranded keywords. Then, we continue our way by examining competitor pages that have good positions in the areas we want to rank. This process continues continuously in order to catch up with the current competitors in the sector.
Our team also uses this tool to track the brand’s keyword performance on a daily basis. They tracked page rankings to make sure landing pages get organic traffic. Necessary updates were made in terms of design and content according to the progress.
Throughout this process, blogs were published regularly and internal links were made to landing pages. Thus, as the blogs gained traffic, we also strengthened the authority of the landing pages.
Accordingly, ranking increases were achieved in 18 of the targeted keywords.
