Continue using English, as it's widely spoken, but consider adding some content in Filipino to enhance local relevance. Focus on off-page SEO strategies like building backlinks from reputable Filipino sites, engaging on social media, and creating partnerships with local businesses. Differentiate from competitors by specializing in content that addresses local interests and optimizing for local search queries.

let me share how you can approach the questions you've raised:​

- Since none of your competitors are using the local language, it may not be necessary if your target audience is more comfortable with English, which is widely spoken in the Philippines so using the local language (Filipino) could increase the relevance and country-specific signals to search engines like Google so you can offer content in both English and Filipino, This will target broader audience and will also signal to search engines that your content is highly relevant to the Philippines.

- You can focus on getting backlinks from local websites, blogs, news outlets, and directories within the Philippines. These will send strong local signals to search engines.

- If your competitor is covering multiple countries, but you only want to focus on the Philippines, you should only approach local and specialize within your niche locally. The traffic stats you have shared of your competitor show that he is getting 100k traffic globally, and you focus only on the Philippines. Yes, your traffic might be lower, and it is not a bad thing if the traffic you get converts well. Your aim should be to become the go-to resource for your niche within the country.

It's not necessary to cover every topic your competitor does. Instead, focus on the most relevant and high-traffic topics for the Philippines.


If you’re comfortable sharing your niche then do it.

For off-page SEO create high-quality backlinks from reputable websites, especially those within the Philippines or relevant to your niche.

Yes, you can use Ahrefs to identify your competitors' backlinks. In the "Backlinks" section, you can see which sites are linking to them and prioritize backlinks from high-authority domains, those relevant to your niche or located in the Philippines.

Also, you can find other link opportunities by the “Best by links” report in Ahrefs to find pages on competitors’ sites that have the most backlinks. You can create similar content and reach out to the same sites for backlinks


Absolutely, relevancy matters because a backlink from a relevant site in your niche is often more valuable than one from an unrelated high-authority site. Therefore, you should focus on getting links from sites relevant to your niche. This could include industry blogs, forums, and news sites.
