A compact, practical plan that turns the earlier suggestions from , , and into repeatable work.

Start by defining the competitor set (true SERP rivals, direct business rivals, and content rivals). Map search intent and the SERP features competing pages win (snippets, PAA, shopping results). Do a page-level content-gap sweep to find high-value topics where competitors get traffic but cover the topic thinly. Run a targeted technical/UX spot-check that prioritizes mobile rendering, canonicalization, structured data, and page speed rather than a full vanity crawl. Score competitor backlinks by domain relevance and trust, then surface replicable opportunities (resource pages, industry mentions, broken links) rather than copying volume for volume. Finally, convert findings into a prioritized backlog: quick wins, content projects, and technical fixes, and snapshot metrics weekly or monthly to measure movement.

Use data from crawlers and site-explorer tools to avoid guesswork; treat traffic and backlink estimates as directional. For methodology and tool-focused workflows see the Ahrefs guide to competitor analysis (Ahrefs guide) and Google’s SEO starter guide (Google SEO starter guide). Caution: validate any high-impact tactic before replication, and avoid or report spammy/black-hat links rather than emulating them.

Maybe you can start with

1. Analyze their coding and internal/external (inbound/outbound) linking.
2. Analyze on-site SEO paying particular attention to their content. Are they white hat, black hat, grey hat?
3. How many web pages are linked internally (size of web site)?
4. How old is the site?
5. Are the main keyphrase competitors regionally hosted?
6. Do things (images, webpages ...) use logical naming conventions?

etc.

I used to check the backlinks hany owned competitors, after we find it, then we also put a link on their own backlinks
