Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 19k organic keywords and drive 38k estimated monthly organic visits (≈$362k in equivalent ad value) — the widest keyword coverage in your competitive set.
- Your Authority Score is 48, supported by 76k backlinks from 7.5k referring domains, indicating solid ability to compete but not yet “category-leader” strength.
- Traffic is concentrated in a few standout topics: /blog/learning-management-system-examples/ pulls 11k visits (~29%), your homepage adds 6k (~17%), and /guide/learning-theories/cognitive-learning-theory/ contributes 5k (~13%); your top keyword is “cognitive learning theories” (driving ~13% of traffic), alongside strong brand demand (e.g., “360 learning”, “360learning”).
Growth Opportunity
- You’re #1 in keywords but #2 in traffic: docebo.com captures 49k monthly visits with fewer keywords, signaling an efficiency gap you can close by improving rankings/CTR on higher-intent “LMS” terms (e.g., “lms” at 135k volume, plus “learning management system/software” variants).
- Your biggest winners are informational list/guide pages; systematically expanding and interlinking bottom-funnel content (comparisons, “best X,” industry LMS pages, alternatives, integration/pricing intent) can convert your reach into more high-intent traffic.
- Your large content footprint (hundreds of blog/guide pages plus DE/FR sections) suggests room to refresh, consolidate, and scale proven clusters (LMS selection, onboarding, compliance, DEI, learning theory) to capture more long-tail demand.
Assessment
You already have strong topical coverage and link equity, but you’re under-capturing traffic relative to your keyword footprint. Closing the ranking/intent gap on high-volume, high-intent LMS queries is a meaningful upside lever. AirOps can help you scale and maintain these content systems consistently to unlock durable organic growth.
Competition at a Glance
Across an analysis of 3 direct competitors (Docebo, Cornerstone OnDemand, and Absorb LMS), 360learning.com shows a broad organic search footprint and remains one of the most visible brands in this peer set.
360learning.com ranks #2 in monthly organic traffic with 38,218 visits, and #1 in ranking keywords with 19,175 keywords—the widest keyword coverage in the comparison.
The market leader is docebo.com, generating 49,440 monthly organic visits from 17,979 ranking keywords, meaning it captures ~11.2K more visits despite ranking for fewer keywords; this indicates a clear visibility-to-traffic efficiency gap at the top of the market, while Cornerstone OnDemand (26,374 visits) and Absorb LMS (15,005 visits) sit notably behind on overall reach.

Create a scaled integration directory that goes beyond simple marketing summaries into implementation-grade technical guides for IT and HRIS owners. These pages provide step-by-step configuration, troubleshooting, and security specs for connecting 360Learning with the broader enterprise stack.
Example Keywords
- "{tool} SSO training platform integration"
- "{tool} SCIM provisioning learning platform"
- "sync {tool} users to training platform"
- "Microsoft Teams training platform integration"
- "Workday learning platform user sync"
Rationale
High-intent buyers in IT, HRIS, and RevOps shortlist platforms based on stack compatibility and ease of implementation. By providing deep technical documentation at the search level, 360Learning captures users during the feasibility and scoping phase of the buying cycle.
Topical Authority
360Learning already possesses strong search equity in the training platform category with over 19,000 ranking keywords and a robust API subdomain. Leveraging the existing support knowledge base (1,000+ URLs) provides the necessary proof of technical depth to rank for these long-tail integration queries.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize api.360learning.com documentation, support KB articles for setup and error codes, security/privacy documentation (SAML/SCIM specs), and partner metadata from the existing marketplace.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,200+ (Covering 300+ tools with variants for overview, setup, and troubleshooting)
Develop a structured library focused on the specific training requirements, recordkeeping mandates, and audit checklists for regulated industries. This play targets compliance-driven buying triggers by mapping platform capabilities directly to regulatory frameworks like ISO, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
Example Keywords
- "ISO 27001 training record requirements"
- "HIPAA workforce training documentation requirements"
- "SOC 2 security awareness training evidence"
- "OSHA training recordkeeping requirements by state"
- "GxP training records audit trail"
Rationale
Compliance is a primary driver for LMS adoption in enterprise environments. Providing plain-language summaries of regulatory expectations alongside actionable audit checklists positions 360Learning as the operational solution for maintaining audit readiness.
Topical Authority
The domain already performs well in operational enablement topics, such as "developing a training program." Expanding into regulation-specific ownership leverages this existing authority to capture high-stakes compliance traffic.
Internal Data Sources
Product capability documentation regarding audit logs, reporting, and attestations; internal templates for audit report exports; and customer case studies from regulated environments.
Estimated Number of Pages
800+ (Covering 40+ frameworks across 15+ industries and key regions)
Build a massive, defensible library of role-based competency models, proficiency rubrics, and sample assessment questions. This play scales the "Skills" product capability into a comprehensive resource for HR leaders looking to operationalize skills-based organizations.
Example Keywords
- "competency model for {role}"
- "skills matrix template for {role}"
- "proficiency rubric for {skill}"
- "skills assessment questions for {skill}"
- "competency framework for {industry}"
Rationale
Enterprises are shifting toward skills-based talent management but lack the structured rubrics to execute. Providing these templates at scale captures HR leaders during the design phase of their skills strategy, leading them directly to 360Learning's Skills product.
Topical Authority
360Learning's existing organic footprint is strong in structured knowledge content and learning theories. This play applies that strength to enterprise-ready skills operations, which is a high-intent extension of current successful topics.
Internal Data Sources
Skills feature documentation, internal proficiency rubrics used for employee development, and anonymized customer archetype rubrics validated by L&D experts.
Estimated Number of Pages
5,000+ (Covering hundreds of roles across multiple levels and industries)
Turn API and platform events into a programmatic "recipe" library that ranks for automation-specific queries. These pages show technical buyers exactly how to connect 360Learning to their business workflows using webhooks, APIs, and middleware like Zapier.
Example Keywords
- "send training completion to {tool}"
- "create Slack alert when training overdue"
- "enroll learners from {HRIS} automatically"
- "training platform webhook examples"
- "xAPI statement to {BI tool} pipeline"
Rationale
Technical buyers validate platform feasibility by searching for specific automation capabilities. A recipe-style directory provides immediate proof of flexibility and reduces the perceived friction of integrating a new LMS into an existing tech stack.
Topical Authority
The presence of an API subdomain and a large support knowledge base provides the technical credibility needed to rank. Most competitors focus on high-level marketing integrations, leaving a gap for implementation-grade automation content.
Internal Data Sources
API endpoint documentation (objects, fields, auth), support KB troubleshooting patterns for webhooks, and internal Solutions Engineering "recipes" used in customer onboarding.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000+ (Covering 300+ tools with multiple event/action combinations)
Create a library of "ready-to-run" training program blueprints for specific roles and industries, complete with curriculum outlines and week-by-week plans. These pages serve as a starting point for L&D managers tasked with building new enablement programs from scratch.
Example Keywords
- "sales manager training curriculum"
- "call center agent training plan"
- "customer support training roadmap"
- "field service technician training plan"
- "new people manager training curriculum"
Rationale
Operational buyers often search for "curriculum templates" or "training plans" when they are in the early stages of program design. Providing these blueprints captures this audience and demonstrates how the 360Learning platform can host and automate these specific curricula.
Topical Authority
360Learning already ranks for broad "how to build a training program" terms. This play extends that authority into the long-tail of specific job roles, where competition is lower and intent is more focused.
Internal Data Sources
L&D Performance Academy assets, internal enablement program structures, and anonymized customer curriculum patterns (e.g., common modules for sales vs. support).
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000+ (Covering 400+ roles across various levels and industries)
Improvements Summary
Rework the LMS selection cluster into a clear hub-and-spoke model with /blog/learning-management-system-examples/ as the pillar, supported by compliance, AI, LXP, and implementation pages. Upgrade each priority page with SERP-matching tables, evaluation criteria, FAQs, and structured data, then connect the cluster with contextual internal links and a “Learning Platforms” hub.
Improvements Details
For /blog/learning-management-system-examples/, add an above-the-fold “Best LMS examples (by use case)” table, a “How we evaluated” section, FAQ + ItemList schema, and dedicated sections targeting “learning management system examples”, “learning management platform”, and “lms tools.” For /blog/compliance-training-software/, add a requirements checklist (on-page + downloadable), sections for “track compliance training completion” and “lms for compliance,” plus proof snippets and SoftwareApplication markup. For /blog/ai-learning-platforms/, add an AI definitions section, an AI evaluation rubric (privacy, controls, human-in-the-loop), and internal links back to the pillar using anchors like “LMS platform examples” and “AI-powered learning platform.”
Improvements Rationale
These pages sit in striking distance against strong “best software” competitors, so stronger intent matching (tables, vendor examples, pros/cons, and decision frameworks) and tighter keyword-to-page mapping should lift rankings and click-through. Clear differentiation between overlapping topics (LXP vs LMS vs LXP definition) reduces cannibalization, while internal linking and schema help search engines connect the cluster and surface long-tail variants.
