\u00a0How to Find and Use Competitor Keywords: A Comprehensive Guide<\/h2>\n

Competitor keywords are the phrases and terms that your rivals rank for in Google search results. These keywords may help them rank organically or appear in paid Google Ads results.<\/p>\n

Understanding your competitors’ keywords is one of the simplest forms of keyword research. If a keyword brings your competitors success, it might be worth targeting those keywords on your own site as well.<\/p>\n

How to Find Your Competitors’ Organic Keywords<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The most accurate way to uncover your competitors’ keywords is with a tool like Ahrefs. These tools maintain a vast database of keywords and the websites that rank for them. Ahrefs is known for having the most extensive database.<\/p>\n

How to Find All the Keywords Your Competitor Ranks For<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Open Ahrefs’ Site Explorer<\/li>\n
  2. Enter your competitor’s domain name<\/li>\n
  3. Navigate to the “Organic Keywords” report<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This report displays keywords that drive the most traffic to your competitor’s website. For instance, “mailchimp” is the top keyword for Mailchimp.<\/p>\n

    If you don’t want to compete for branded terms, add a “Keyword > Doesn’t Contain” filter to the report. This will eliminate terms like “mailchimp” or misspellings.<\/p>\n

    New brands competing against established ones might focus on popular keywords with lower difficulty scores. Apply a minimum volume filter of 500 and a maximum KD (Keyword Difficulty) filter of 10 to find these gems.<\/p>\n

    How to Find Keywords Your Competitor Ranks For, But You Don’t<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Navigate to Ahrefs’ Competitive Analysis tool<\/li>\n
    2. Put your website’s domain in the “This target doesn’t rank for” field<\/li>\n
    3. Put your competitor’s domain in the “But these competitors do” field<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Hit “Show Keyword Opportunities.” You’ll now see the keywords where your competitor ranks, and you don’t.<\/p>\n

      How to Find Keywords Multiple Competitors Rank For, But You Don’t<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Go to Ahrefs’ Competitive Analysis tool<\/li>\n
      2. Put your domain in the “This target doesn’t rank for” field<\/li>\n
      3. Put multiple competitors’ domains in the “But these competitors do” field<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        You’ll see keywords shared by at least one competitor, and refine it by selecting “All 3 competitors” under Competitors’ Positions.<\/p>\n
