How do you perform a competitive analysis for On-Page SEO?

Practical step-by-step:

  1. Pick target keyword(s) and search the SERP to identify top 5–10 organic competitors (include featured snippets and "People also ask").
  2. Crawl each competing page (Screaming Frog or Sitebulb) and record: title tag, meta description, URL, H1s, heading structure, canonical, schema, and hreflang.
  3. Compare content: word count, topic coverage (subtopics/FAQs), keyword usage (primary + semantic/LSI terms), readability, images (alt text), and multimedia.
  4. Check on-page signals: internal links pointing to the page, outbound links, CTAs, and prominence of the target keyword in first 100 words.
  5. Test technical/page quality: PageSpeed Insights, Mobile-Friendly Test, Core Web Vitals, and structured-data validation.
  6. Add context: view each page’s referring domains/authority (Ahrefs/SEMrush) to understand why they rank.
  7. Prioritize fixes: quick wins (title/meta/H1, image alt, internal links), content gaps (add subtopics/FAQ), then technical (speed, schema).
  8. Measure results with Google Search Console (position, clicks, CTR) and Analytics (engagement) and iterate.
