Website Competitor Checker

Add a rival domain and compare keywords, backlinks, and visibility next to your project. Competitor tracking starts on Starter. Start free, then upgrade when you want to check a site. Product overview: competitor analysis.

What the competitor checker shows

This is the Compare step in See, Compare, Fix. You paste a domain you already compete with. We fetch a cached SEO snapshot and put it beside your project so you can pick the next page to work on.

You add the domain

We do not auto-discover rivals from traffic lookalikes. You choose the site to check.

Starter+ tracking

Free cannot track competitor domains. Starter tracks 1, Professional 3, Enterprise 10.

Cached snapshots

Metrics come from DataForSEO with a multi-day cache, typically weekly. Not a live spy feed.

Surfaces in the checker

Keyword overlap and gaps

  • • Terms a competitor ranks for that you do not
  • • Overlap so you see shared queries
  • • A handoff into Keyword Research

Competitor link analysis

  • • Backlink counts for tracked domains
  • • Referring-domain counts
  • • A handoff into Backlink Analysis for the deeper profile

Domain and traffic context

  • • Authority and organic-traffic signals
  • • Keyword-portfolio context for the site you added
  • • Side-by-side project comparison

Snapshots and AI share

  • • Last cached snapshot, not second-by-second updates
  • • Refresh within plan limits when you need a newer read
  • • Paid plans can compare mention share in AI answers

How to use it

1

Create a project

Start free with your own domain. Competitor checks unlock on Starter, with 1, 3, or 10 tracked sites by plan.

Free: site audit and limited SEO checks still work. Competitor domains stay locked until you upgrade.

2

Add a competitor website

Paste the domain you already compete with. We fetch a snapshot. We do not invent a rival list from lookalike traffic.

Focus on: one named rival you already lose queries to, not a long list of every site in the SERP.

3

Compare, then fix the page

Read keyword gaps, backlink counts, and domain context. Jump to Keyword Research, Site Audit, or AI Visibility when the gap is a page you can ship.

Loop: See issues on your site, Compare the competitor here, then Fix pages in the rest of the workspace.

What we do not ship here
