# SEO Content: Competitor Research

Guides competitor research for SEO, content, backlinks, and positioning. Use when planning content, auditing articles, building links, or evaluating market position.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Research Types

| Type | Purpose | Output |
|------|---------|--------|
| **Keyword/topic** | Topics competitors rank for; gaps | Keyword opportunities; content ideas |
| **Content** | Structure, length, gaps vs top rankers | Length target; H2 structure; content gaps |
| **Backlink** | Link profile; sites linking to competitors | Link gap; outreach targets |
| **Pricing** | Competitor pricing, positioning | Pricing context; differentiation |
| **SEO metrics** | Organic traffic, rankings vs competitors | Benchmark; opportunity areas |

## Competitor Keyword / Topic Analysis

| Method | Practice |
|--------|----------|
| **Reverse engineering** | Analyze competitor titles, H1, URL; identify topics they rank for |
| **SERP overlap** | Keywords with overlapping top-ranking pages → same cluster; #4–10 = opportunity |
| **site: operator** | `site:competitor.com` to see indexed pages |
| **Tool** | Ahrefs, Semrush—competitor keyword overlap, gap analysis |

**Output**: Keyword opportunities; topics competitors cover that you don't.

## Competitor Content Analysis

| Element | Check |
|---------|-------|
| **Word count** | Top 10 average; length target for your content |

When analyzing or auditing a single article, use this lightweight workflow to obtain competitor articles:

1. **Obtain URLs**: From user, project-context Section 11, or web search for `"[target keyword]"` to find top-ranking pages
2. **Fetch content**: Use mcp_web_fetch or WebSearch to fetch 2–3 top-ranking pages
3. **Analyze**: Word count, H2 structure, keyword placement, content gaps, CTA, schema
4. **Output**: Competitor URLs, brief structure comparison, content gaps, length target, keyword opportunities

**Output format**: Competitor URLs; word count and H2 structure per URL; content gaps vs your article; recommended length target; keyword opportunities (terms top rankers use that your article misses).

## Competitor Backlink Analysis

| Action | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| **Compare profiles** | Your backlinks vs competitors |
| **Link gap** | Sites linking to competitors but not you |
| **Opportunity** | Outreach to those sites; content they might link to |

**Tools**: Ahrefs, Semrush—Link Intersect, competitor backlink reports. See **backlink-analysis**.
