STEP TWO: RESEARCH YOUR COMPETITORS
Exposure Ninja list this as one of their most important steps for building a successful organic traffic pipeline. By researching your competitors, you can identify what it is that makes their website and content more appealing than yours, and then apply your findings to your own website. Is their website more visually appealing than yours? Are their keywords more effective? Work it out and use it to your advantage. It’s also worth checking the age of your competitors’ website, as older websites automatically have more authority, meaning they rank higher in search engines too.💻💻
STEP THREE: MAKE SURE YOUR COPY IS OF A HIGH QUALITY
