Document your Findings – Competitor research

As our practice is, we need to record all the data collected from our competitor research.

1. Document your findings from the Google search and organic research. We did a Google search of our keyword to find the top domains ranking for it. You can note down these domain names for later reference.

Semrush organic research was done on one of the top domains. This was to find out more insights and data. Export the selected keywords and findings into your Google drive folder.

These files contain data about top Organic Keywords, the number of backlinks, Search traffic per Competitor, and our competitors’ referral domains.

2. Finally, go to your blog checklist template and mark the “Competitor research” step as complete.
