Why is digital marketing competitor analysis important for your business?
- 1. It helps you get to know your competition
- 2. It helps you better understand your market
- 3. You learn your competition’s strengths and weaknesses
1. It helps you get to know your competition
1. It helps you get to know your competition
Conducting a competitor analysis for digital marketing is critical because it enables you to identify your competition. If you have a brick and mortar location, you may already know some of your local competitors, but they aren’t your only competitors online.
With a competitor analysis, you help your business identify companies that you’re competing against for customers. It gives you a starting point for identifying strategies that are working for your competition, so you can figure out how to create more effective strategies for your own business.
2. It helps you better understand your market
2. It helps you better understand your market
When you conduct a digital marketing competitor analysis, you can better understand your market. Not only can you identify direct competitors, but you can also identify indirect competitors that might be taking sales from your business.
So, for example, let’s say you own a coffee shop and sell freshly ground coffee in addition to serving fresh coffee drinks. You know that businesses like Starbucks and Dunkin’ are direct competitors to your business. But what about your indirect competitors?
Since you’re selling bags of coffee, grocery stores are an indirect competitor to your shop. While they sell an abundance of other goods, they still offer dozens of different ground coffee options, making them competition to your coffee shop. Even a local gas station could be considered competition for your business!
When you conduct a competitor analysis, you gain a better understanding of who’s in your market, so you can create more effective strategies to compete against them.
3. You learn your competition’s strengths and weaknesses
3. You learn your competition’s strengths and weaknesses
Just knowing your competition isn’t enough to help you drive better results. You need to know more about your competition, so you can create a strategy that helps you outperform them.
When you conduct a competitor analysis, you can better understand the strengths and weaknesses of your competition. You’ll want to look at important components like pricing, product quality, and customer satisfaction.
When you know what your competition does well and where they fall short, you can use that knowledge to help mold your strategy. So, for example, if your competition falls short in the customer service department, you can make sure that you ramp up your customer service to give you a leg up on your competition.
FAQs about digital marketing competitor analysis services
What are the best tools for competitor analysis?
These are the top five tools that we recommend for performing a competitor analysis.
- Ahrefs
- SpyFu
- BuzzSumo
- SEMRush
- Searchmetrics
What are the different types of competitors?
There are three types of competitors:
Direct competitors
Direct competitors are typically the most dangerous, since they’re essentially a carbon copy of your business in many ways.
Your direct competitors offer the same products and services as your company, and they also have the same target customer. You can even take it a step further and say that your direct competitors also have the same goals and work on a similar business model.
Indirect competitors
Your indirect competitors offer the same products and services as your company, but they likely have a different business model, or different business goals.
A good example of an indirect competitor would be a mom-and-pop candle shop competing with Yankee Candle.
This competition can still be dangerous, but if you focus on your target audience and your personal business goals, indirect competitors won’t stand in your way.
Replacement competitors
Replacement competitors offer products or services that could potentially replace the products and services you offer. So, if your products or services fail, and your customers want to try something different to accomplish their goal, they could rely on your replacement competitors.
A good example of this would be a book store versus a video game store. The book store is at risk of losing customers to a company that offers the latest and greatest video games.
