Competitive Analysis
Forget agencies that charge a set fee no matter what. Our retainer flexes with your results—if we don't deliver, you pay less; if we exceed your expectations, we share in the upside.
In the hyper-competitive world of digital marketing, ignorance is not bliss; it is a death sentence. To succeed, you cannot just focus on your own marketing efforts; you need to have a deep and nuanced understanding of your competitive landscape. A competitive digital marketing analysis is a systematic process of identifying your key competitors and to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in relation to your own. It is about reverse-engineering their strategies to understand what is working for them, what is not, and where the opportunities lie for you to gain a competitive advantage. It is the strategic reconnaissance that you need to do before you go into battle.
A thorough competitive analysis can provide you with a wealth of invaluable insights. It can help you to identify new marketing channels, to discover new keyword opportunities, to benchmark your own performance, and to find gaps in the market that you can exploit. It is the foundation of a proactive, data-driven marketing strategy that is designed to win.
Many businesses either neglect to do a proper competitive analysis, or they do a superficial one that only scratches the surface. They might look at their competitors' websites and their social media profiles, but they do not dig deeper to understand the underlying strategies that are driving their results. At 3P Digital, a deep competitive analysis is the first step in any new client engagement. As a performance-based agency, we need to know what we are up against. We need to understand the competitive landscape so that we can build a strategy that will deliver the results we are accountable for. We do not just look at what your competitors are doing; we figure out why they are doing it and how we can do it better. This guide will show you how to conduct a comprehensive competitive digital marketing analysis that will give you the insights you need to dominate your market.
The Key Components of a Competitive Digital Marketing Analysis
A comprehensive competitive analysis should look at several key areas of your competitors' digital marketing strategy.
1. Competitor Identification
The first step is to identify your key competitors. This should include not just your direct competitors (those who offer the same products or services as you) but also your indirect competitors (those who solve the same problem for your customers in a different way) and your SEO competitors (those who are competing with you for the same keywords in the search engine results pages).
2. SEO and Content Analysis
This involves analysing your competitors' SEO and content strategies. You should look at:
- •The keywords they are ranking for: What are their top organic keywords? Where are the gaps in their keyword strategy?
- •Their backlink profile: Who is linking to them? How authoritative are those links?
- •Their content strategy: What kind of content are they creating? How often are they publishing new content? What is the quality of their content?
3. Paid Media Analysis
This involves analysing your competitors' paid advertising campaigns. You should look at:
- •The platforms they are advertising on: Are they using Google Ads, Facebook Ads, LinkedIn Ads, or other platforms?
- •Their ad copy and their creative: What kind of messaging are they using? What kind of images or videos are they using?
- •Their landing pages: What do their landing pages look like? What is their call-to-action?
4. Social Media Analysis
This involves analysing your competitors' social media presence. You should look at:
- •The platforms they are active on: Which social media platforms are they using to engage with their audience?
- •Their engagement rates: How many likes, comments, and shares are they getting on their posts?
- •Their content strategy: What kind of content are they sharing on social media?
The 3P Digital Performance-Based Advantage for Competitive Analysis
Our performance-based model drives us to be experts in competitive intelligence.
We Need to Know How to Win
A traditional agency can afford to be reactive. They can try a few things and to see what sticks. We cannot. As a performance-based agency, we are accountable for delivering results from day one. This means that we need to have a clear plan for how we are going to win. A deep competitive analysis is a critical part of that planning process. It allows us to identify the path of least resistance and to focus our efforts on the areas where we can have the biggest impact.
We Turn Insights into Action
A competitive analysis is only valuable if it leads to action. We do not just give you a report that tells you what your competitors are doing. We use the insights from our analysis to build a data-driven marketing strategy that is designed to exploit your competitors' weaknesses and to neutralise their strengths. We will show you exactly how we are going to outsmart, outmanoeuvre, and outperform your competition.
