Understanding how your competitors have succeeded online can help you avoid the costly trial and error of testing strategies that do not work.In our analysis, we typically analyze a minimum of three competitor web sites.

Off Page SEO
Off-Page SEO includes all the things your competition does to promote their website outside the design of the website itself, such as getting more inbound links to a site, registering with directories relevant to an industry, and getting more pages into the search engine indexes.

Link Popularity Analysis
How the number of links pointing to your competitor’s website(s) may or may not have contributed to their ranking success. In addition, we will provide additional commentary should something of particular interest arise.

Backlinks are links that are directed towards your websites, also knows as Inbound links. The number of backlinks is an indication of the popularity or importance of that website. Backlinks are important for SEO because some search engines, especially Google, will give more credit to websites that have a good number of quality backlinks, and consider those websites more relevant than others in their results pages for a search query.

We evaluate the quality of the links you have received to date according to your historical link building records, compare that to the expense and prepare recommendations for ongoing strategy. Additional link building strategies or tweaks to the current campaign(s) may be recommended.
