Which SEO tools do you find most valuable for competitor analysis?

[1SEOWarrior]

Python Script and sometimes manually. Or you can submit your and competitors sites in semrush for all time audit.

That's a nice move. As you said python script, did you make your own bot or software to track for this?

yes, before I have done it.

 

[khurram Seo]

Ahref is the best option..

Ahref is the best option..

No doubt about it. It has a powerful crawler next to Google and its UI is easy and userfriendly. But the price is the main concern here.

I prefer SEMrush to get exact competitor analysis.

 

[kinzakhan]

yes

 

[SK Media]

I find the following SEO tools to be the most valuable for competitor analysis: Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz, and Google Search Console.

The best-renowned tools are SEMRush, Moz, and Ahrefs, but these may cost you more if you go for the premium plan, but I want to recommend you to use SERankin which delivers accurate results also I will comparatively cost you less.

I have tested SEO power suits and spyfu. These were good but I don't know the current situation. Currently I am using ahref and SEMrush.

I have been using Ahref and SEMrush to research my competitors since 2015. I did not try/prefer any SEO tools in the meantime. What do you guys use to spy on your competitors? When mentioning any tools please let us know why it is more exceptional than any other tools out there.

Thanks for your time.

I use SEMrush, Ahrefs and MOZ (for DA and PA) and they serves as the best for competitor analysis. There are no better tools than these.

SEMrush.

I first do a domain overview

Find organic kws

Rank by difficulty

Filter by MSV

Hand filter by relevance re EXPECTED SEARCH INTENT

Hand filter by ACTUAL SEARCH INTENT (as revealed by top search result)

Come up with my own rewritten version of the top result
- must be more comprehensive than the top 5 results
- must be up to date
- must be more visually appealing


Use a Content Optimization tool like Frase/Surfer

Interlink the right way (I've posted a lot about my method for doing this)

I really don't have the time to search through all my past posts since I post a lot here. Those posts will have the steps.

SUMMARY:

If I were to sum it all up: Make sure that the content of the page you're linking to ACTUALLY ADDS VALUE to the content of the page you're linking from. The target keyword you're using must actually be the SEARCH INTENT of the page you're linking to.

Exactly. In most cases, we try to internal link as Wikipedia does. But that's not always the right context.

ahrefs

 

[burukutuk]

alexa dot com is quite good, and you can consider it

 

[Kha0s]

Ahrefs. It offers a comprehensive suite of features that can give you a detailed view of your competitors' tactics.
