It is powered by serious tools, SimilarWeb, Ahrefs and SEOmonitor, so you get a clear, evidenced view of the competitive landscape, not guesswork, and a plan to act on it.

Five things that make competitor analysis actually useful.

Pick the right rivals, find the gaps, watch the trends, and turn what you learn into moves, not a report that sits in a drawer.

01

Your competitor set is wider than you think

Your rivals are not just the obvious brands. Anyone competing for your keywords or your share of the news is worth watching.

02

Gaps beat guesswork

The value is in finding what competitors do that you do not, and what they miss that you can own.

03

Trends move fast

Demand, formats and platforms shift quickly. Insight that is a year old is already out of date.

04

Paid intel is visible if you know where to look

Rivals’ ad strategies, budgets and targeting leave a trail. The right tools read it.

05

Insight only counts if you act

Analysis is the start. We turn each finding into a prioritised opportunity your teams can run with.

Our competitor insight services, end to end.

From deep competitor audits to industry trends, paid intelligence and the opportunity roadmap that turns it all into action.

What brands ask before they start.

What is a competitor insight?

Competitive insight is the process of gathering and analysing information about your competitors and market: their strategies, how they deploy them, and how they might respond to changes, so you can reach your audience more effectively.

What tools do you use for competitor analysis?

We use a range of specialist SEO and PR tools, including SimilarWeb, Ahrefs and SEOmonitor, to do a deep dive into competitor activity and identify the areas you can capitalise on.

How do you run a competitor analysis well?

It starts with picking the right competitors, your direct rivals plus anyone competing online for your keywords and news coverage. We then know which activity is worth analysing, where to find the data, and how to use it in your strategy.

How long does a competitor analysis take?

It depends on the number of competitors and the depth required. We agree a deadline up front and complete the analysis to a high standard within it.

Where do you find competitor data?

Everywhere relevant: their website, social channels, news coverage, financial statements and more. We consider multiple sources to give a comprehensive, evidenced overview.

What do I get at the end?

A clear read on where you stand against your rivals, plus a prioritised list of opportunities to close the gaps and take ground, tailored to your goals.

Ready to get one step ahead? Let us run the analysis.

30 minutes with the team. No slide decks, no hard sell. You leave with a view of where your competitors are beating you and three opportunities to take, whether you hire us or not.
