How to perform competition analysis for your SaaS SEO
1. Check Out the SERP
2. Read the top article
- Length (1,000+ words generally tend to do better)
- Date (how fresh is the content?)
- Author (who are they and is there a bio page)?
- Images, video or infographics
- Structure (lists, bullets etc.)
- Quality (is it well written?)
3. Look for Keyword Usage
- Title Tag
- Meta Description
- H1
- URL
- Alt-Tags
- Body copy
4. Look for Schema Markup
5. Check the Backlinks
- Referring Domains
- Total backlinks
- Lower ranking articles (if the URL in Position 1 has fewer backlinks than other pages, it may be ranking so well because of the quality of content rather than links)
- As long (or longer) than the URL in Position 1
- Uses your target keyword effectively
- Provides added value than what's currently ranking (i.e. newer/better info, additional resources etc.)
6. Use Schema to outrank your competitors
