Here we look at our top tips to check your competitors to validate your keywords and find any missed opportunities. There are several reasons for analyzing your competitors:
- To check if a keyword is too competitive.
- To find new keyword opportunities.
- To see what types of content are performing well.
- To find link opportunities.
