Have you ever wondered what it would take to move above your competitors in the organic search results? To do this, you need to spend a good amount of time researching what you want to rank for and then analyzing your competitors who are already ranking for those key terms. You need to look at what type of search engine optimization your competitors have done, both onsite and offsite.

Let’s start from the beginning…

Keyword Research

Whenever you are doing competitive research for SEO you want to start by identifying what keywords and phrases you want to rank for. If you choose keywords that are too broad you could be lost in a sea of thousands of sites trying to rank for the same or similar variations of those keywords. If you choose keywords that are too defined, you could be optimizing your site for keywords that nobody is searching for.

• Start by using multiple keyword research tools to populate a list of potential keywords and phrases
• Compile a spreadsheet of all of the different keywords/phrases that you have found
• Run those keywords through a traffic estimator to get estimated monthly search volume
• Choose 15-20 key terms that you want your site to rank for

Any optional step if you have the budget would be to test your keyword list in Google Adwords to see what kind of traffic it really is producing

Competitive Analysis

I recommend creating a spreadsheet that lists the top 10 sites ranked in Google for your top keywords that you want to rank for. There are plenty of tools out there that can help you pull top 10 listings very easily to save you lots of time. See the Free Tools For Competitive Analysis section below.Once you have identified your top competitors, start to analyze them.
