Competitor Finder

Automatically discover who your real search competitors are — based on keyword overlap, not just industry category.

How to use

  1. From the left sidebar, go to Competitors → Competitor Finder.
  2. Select your domain:
    • Project — choose from your existing SearchVector projects
    • Custom URL — enter any domain manually
  3. Select your country (e.g., United States, India).
  4. Click Analyze Competitors.

Results table

The results show the top competitors ranked by keyword overlap:

ColumnDescription
COM DOMCompetitor domain
COM KEY (total)Total number of keywords the competitor ranks for
COM KEY (shared)Keywords both you and the competitor rank for
SHARE %Percentage of keyword overlap between you and the competitor
TAR KEYTarget keywords — opportunities where the competitor ranks but you don't

  • Click Export to download the competitor list as CSV
  • Use the Search competitors field to filter results by domain name

How to use the results

  1. Identify your main competitors — look for domains with the highest SHARE % (most keyword overlap with you).
  2. Find gap opportunities — domains with a high TAR KEY count have many keywords you could target.
  3. Run a Keyword Gap Analysis — click on a competitor and analyze their keyword gaps in detail.
tip

Run Competitor Finder when starting a new project — it often surfaces competitors you weren't aware of, especially newer or niche sites that share your keyword space.

tip

Use the country selector to discover region-specific competitors — your competitors in the US may be different from those in India or the UK.
