See How You Stack Up Against Competitors
Are you winning?
Most business owners know who their competitors are, but few have a clear picture of how they compare online.
Competitor benchmarking gives you that clarity by revealing exactly where rivals are winning customers, which strategies they use, and where the gaps are in their digital presence.
Many local businesses invest in marketing without truly understanding how they compare in rankings, reviews, ads, or customer perception. While your website may look great, if a competitor dominates Google search, invests heavily in ads, or builds more authority through reviews, they’re capturing opportunities before you even see them.
Our competitor benchmarking service goes beyond surface-level comparisons to deliver concrete insights about your market position. We analyse your rivals’ rankings, keyword targeting, backlink strategies, online reputation, ad presence, and customer engagement — then benchmark this against your own performance.
The financial impact is powerful. Knowing exactly why competitors rank higher or generate more enquiries allows you to make targeted improvements — whether that’s focusing on keywords they’ve missed, building stronger backlinks, or improving review ratings. This clarity gives you a roadmap to not just compete, but lead.
Keyword & Ranking Comparisons
How & Why
We track how your website ranks against your competitors across the search terms that matter most.
This includes identifying the keywords they dominate, spotting gaps you can target, and benchmarking your visibility against theirs in local search results. With this knowledge, you can prioritise opportunities that bring the highest ROI.
Backlink & Authority Analysis
How & Why
Strong competitors often win because they have better authority signals. We analyse competitor backlink profiles, domains linking to them, and the anchor text used — then compare this against your own.
This reveals the quality and strength of their link-building efforts and highlights opportunities for you to close the gap or overtake them with a stronger link strategy.
Review & Reputation Tracking
How & Why
In local markets, reputation is everything. We benchmark your reviews, star ratings, and customer sentiment against competitors across Google, Facebook, and key industry platforms.
This helps you understand how your brand is perceived in comparison, and identifies opportunities to build credibility and trust where rivals are stronger.
Paid Media & Ad Presence Insights
How & Why
Even if you don’t run ads, your competitors likely do. We track their ad visibility, messaging, and spend trends to reveal how much of the market they’re capturing through paid campaigns.
With this data, you can make informed decisions about whether to invest in ads, adjust your targeting, or out-position competitors with smarter organic strategies.
Local Market Share & Visibility Mapping
How & Why
We bring everything together with a complete picture of your market visibility.
From search rankings and ads to reviews and backlinks, we map out where your business stands in comparison to competitors. This full view of your local market gives you the confidence to focus your time and budget on strategies proven to help you outperform the competition.

We typically analyse your top 3-5 direct competitors who appear in search results for your main keywords or serve your local market.

We can focus on specific competitors you’re concerned about or let our research identify the most significant competitive threats in your market.
Even traditional businesses often have some online presence through Google Business listings, social media, or directory sites.
We analyse whatever digital footprint exists, including review platforms and local search visibility.

Competitive landscapes change constantly as businesses improve their websites, launch advertising campaigns, or build new backlinks.
We recommend quarterly updates for active markets or annually for stable industries.
Major competitors launching new websites or campaigns might warrant more frequent analysis. Regular monitoring helps you stay ahead of competitive threats and capitalize on new opportunities as they emerge.
Absolutely. Our paid media analysis reveals competitor ad copy, landing pages, keyword targeting, and estimated spend levels.
This intelligence helps you identify gaps in their advertising coverage, create more compelling ad messaging, and avoid bidding wars on their strongest keywords.
Understanding competitor ad strategies often reduces your advertising costs while improving campaign performance.
We focus primarily on competitors who directly impact your market, usually local or national New Zealand businesses serving your customer base.
However, if international companies compete in your space through online sales or services, we can include them in the analysis.
The scope depends on your business model and where your actual competition comes from.
