Topics include

  • Visualizing the competitive landscape with Market Share
  • Using keyword groups and filters to assess competitive differences across important product lines and content areas
  • Reporting on who owns the top organic search results—and your performance against comparison web properties

  1. In Market Share (Performance > Traditional Search > Market Share), apply a keyword group to focus the report on a specific product line or content topic.
  2. Review the domains ranking in the SERPs you are reporting on to learn who owns the greatest share of visibility.
  3. Use the table below to identify any domains that might be gaining market share over time.
