#1: Steal Competitor Keywords Using SEMrush or Ahrefs and Outrank Them with Better Content

Action Plan:

This step-by-step action plan will help you identify, analyze, and capitalize on competitor keywords using SEMrush or Ahrefs, then create superior content to win more organic traffic.

Step 1: Identify Your Top Competitors

  • List 3-5 main competitors in your niche
  • If unsure, use SEMrush's Organic Research or Ahrefs' Site Explorer to view suggested competitors.
  • For local businesses, include both national and local competitors.

Step 2: Find Competitor Keywords

Using SEMrush:

  • Go to "Organic Research" and enter a competitor's domain.
  • Click the "Positions" tab to see their ranking keywords.
  • Use the "Keyword Gap" tool to compare your site with competitors and find keywords you're missing.

Using Ahrefs:

  • Enter a competitor's domain in Site Explorer.
  • Check the "Organic Keywords" report for their top keywords.
  • Use the “Content Gap” tool to find keywords competitors rank for that don't.

Step 3: Filter and Prioritize Keyword Opportunities

  • Exclude branded keywords (those with competitor names).
  • Prioritize
  1. High-volume, low-difficulty keywords.
  2. Keywords your competitors rank for but you don’t (content gaps).
  3. Long-tail keywords that are specific and less competitive
  • Ensure keywords are relevant to your business and audience.

Step 4: Analyze Search Intent and SERP

  • For each target keyword, determine the search intent: informational, commercial, transactional, or navigational.
  • Review the top-ranking pages for these keywords:
  1. What type of content ranks (blog, product page, guide)?
  2. How in-depth is the content?
  3. What questions are answered?
  4. What media (images, videos, infographics) are included?
  • Use SEMrush or Ahrefs to preview the SERP and analyze what's working.

Step 5: Create Better Content

  • Be more comprehensive: Cover the topic in greater depth and address user intent thoroughly.
  • Enhance readability: Use headings, bullet points, short paragraphs, and visuals.
  • Add unique value: Include original research, expert quotes, or case studies.
  • Optimize for SEO: Use target keywords in titles, headings, meta descriptions, and naturally throughout the content.
  • Target featured snippets: Structure answers to common questions in concise formats (lists, tables, definitions).
  • Update existing content: Refresh old posts with new keywords and updated information.

Step 6: Monitor and Iterate

  • Track rankings and traffic for your new and updated content using SEMrush or Ahrefs.
  • Repeat this process regularly, as competitor strategies and keyword opportunities change over time.
  • Refine your content and keyword targeting based on performance data.
