Choose real competitors

Compare against stores and publishers that already win your target searches, not only brands that sell similar products.

Look at page types

Identify whether competitors win through collections, product pages, buying guides, comparison pages or editorial content.

Turn gaps into actions

Use gaps to improve collection targeting, internal links, content support and product information rather than copying pages blindly.

Canonical call

Competitor analysis is not imitation. It is evidence for what your store has failed to explain.
