Cream of Competition Analysis Soup
- 1 prepared Search Engine
- 2 cups Research
- 1 cup Analysis
- Dash of Implementation
- Pinch of Keywords
- Pinch of Creativity
Add Research to prepared Search Engine. The first step in understanding your competitors is to know who they are. Companies you were not even aware of may be your toughest online competitors. By visiting major search engines such as Yahoo or Google, Cal Coast can conduct focused searches using your main keywords to find out what companies, if any, are beating your rankings.
Add 1 cup Analysis to the research mixture. Once Cal Coast has found your top online competitors, we can begin to analyze their site. By taking a few moments to explore their pages, we can see what type of information they are providing their visitors. During our research, we will document any information/pages/links that we think would be a beneficial addition to your site. It is very important to remember that your site should never provide less information then your competitors’ sites.
Mix in a dash of Implementation. Once we have thoroughly researched your competitors’ Web sites, its time to get to work on adding content, pages, links or other SEO tricks to your site. Cal Coast uses the information we have gathered to determine what additions would best benefit your program. For instance, if your competitor provides information about the types of businesses they serve, your site should also address this issue.
Remember, NEVER copy a competitors’ (or anyone’s) content for ANY reason. This is plagiarism. Not only could this result in legal issues, but its also duplicate content, which means search engines won’t index it and it will do nothing to help your rankings!
Sprinkle with Keyword Seeds and Creativity. As always, your new content should be seeded with keywords as well as be engaging and creative. Keywords will help your rankings and will help increase visitors to your site, while well-written, informative content will keep your visitor from leaving.
