If you’re already tracking other keywords, you’ll need to filter the “SOV keywords” using the tag: Hit “Add keywords,” and you should see the Overview report. You should also tag the keyword list so you can filter the SOV keywords later on: I’m only going after our biggest market here: the United States. If you have a location-specific business, make sure to track the right locations in this step. Once you’ve done that, just copy and paste the keywords into Rank Tracker. Second, always exclude yours and your competitors’ branded keywords. This sample will include keywords that you’re already targeting with content and those you’re yet to target. Keyword research master sheets often contain tens of thousands of keywords, and you only want to work with the most representative sample here. That’s the “fat head” keyword that gets the most clicks for a topic. Just a couple of quick notes when doing this:įirst, you only want to track the main keywords. The visibility metric shows the percentage of all clicks from your tracked keywords that land on the respective website. The best approach here is to take your keyword research master sheet, paste all main keywords into Rank Tracker, add your competitors’ domains, and check the visibility in the Competitors overview tab: The only way to avoid the differences between websites’ target audiences is to choose the keywords you want to consider traffic from. Tracking a representative sample of your industry keywords We’ll move onto a method that eliminates these drawbacks and inaccuracies to a certain degree. In conclusion, take these numbers with a grain of salt. Those can skew the data quite a bit.įor example, one ‘competitor’ of ours gets a lot of organic traffic to a Spanish blog post explaining what a CEO is.Īlthough that pumps up their SOV when using this method, the blog post has pretty much zero ‘business value’ and is unlikely to attract any customers. On top of that, some sites rank for high-volume keywords with virtually no value for their business. That means websites with abnormally high keyword shares probably target a wider audience. The broader the target audience of a given website, the more keywords and traffic opportunities there is. Now comes the drawback of this quick method. Here’s an example sheet with cells with formulas highlighted green. Then, create two new columns for keyword and traffic shares.Įnter this formula in row one of the first new column: =iferror(arrayformula(if(row(B$1:B)=1,"Keyword share",if(B1:B="","",B1:B/sum($B$2:B)))))Īnd this formula in the first row of the second new column: =iferror(arrayformula(if(row(C$1:C)=1,"Traffic share",if(C1:C="","",C1:C/sum($C$2:C))))) Next, paste you and your competitors’ domains into Ahrefs’ Batch Analysis to see each site’s estimated organic traffic and the number of keywords they rank for.Įxport the data and get rid of anything other than the Target, Keywords, and Traffic columns. These may get significant traffic in your industry, but they don’t own any market share. We’ll be using only direct business competitors because there’s always going to be blogs and other websites popping up in the top results. Overall organic traffic compared to competitorsįirst, make a list of your competitors’ domains. To calculate that, use one of these two methods: 1. While the number above might be impressive, it tells us nothing about SOV. Organic search is the biggest traffic source for a lot of businesses, including us: ![]() From 2014, they began increasing their media coverage and doubled their market share in just five years. Back in 2013, they had approximately 3% market share and SOV. Lidl in the UK is a stellar example of SOV theory becoming a reality. It’s about increasing your SOV relative to competitors. However, keep in mind that spending more on communications doesn’t necessarily mean creating eSOV. It may not seem much, but those decimal points may be worth millions in your industry. It’s realistic to expect a 0.7% annual growth rate in market share for every ten eSOV percentage points. ![]() Let me highlight the word “long-term” because reaching the equilibrium doesn’t happen overnight. This is known as excess share of voice (eSOV), and it’s a key long-term driver responsible for increasing your market share. That said, you should strive for a higher SOV than market share. If you have 17% SOV, you can also expect your market share to head towards 17%. There is a strong relationship between SOV and market share. ![]()
