Start by searching for your own business on Google like a typical customer would do. Make a list of all the businesses that come up along with yours. These are your competitors. Don&#8217;t count the large retail brands like Walmart and Amazon. Instead, focus on competitors within your niche. <strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><b>Check Their Traffic Flow<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>SEMRush is one of several sites you can use to observe the organic search traffic for your competition. Link Research Tools is another important data platform you can use to dive deep into your competitors&#8217; SEO profiles. Metrics to pay attention to include:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Domain authority and age<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Social shares<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 How often other sites link back to theirs (link velocity)<\/span> <strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><b>Evaluate Your Competitors&#8217; Content<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Take a look at the specific types of content your competitors are distributing and how much engagement they&#8217;re getting from it. Check out their websites, blogs, social media pages, and directory listings. Explore even further and read the comments on their social pages and on review sites. This will give you an idea of how your customer base views the competition. Also consider the points listed below:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 How many active followers they have on each social account<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Incentives they&#8217;re offering, such as coupon codes and promotions<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 What topics they&#8217;re discussing in their blogs and social posts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There will always be other businesses going after the same audience online.
