Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You drive about 42k monthly organic visits from 18k ranking keywords (traffic value: $175k in equivalent ad spend), placing you #2 vs key competitors.
- Organic demand is heavily brand-led: “appsflyer” and variations (e.g., “app flyer”, “appflyer”) account for a meaningful share, with “appsflyer” alone driving ~16% of tracked keyword traffic.
- Content is doing real work: the homepage brings ~12k visits (28%), while glossary/blog pages like /return-on-experience/ (~2k), /glossary/lookback-window/ (~2k), and /glossary/roas/ (~1k) capture substantial non-brand discovery.
Growth Opportunity
- The leader (adjust.com) is at ~103k monthly organic visits and ~41k keywords—about 2.5× your traffic—showing a sizable, addressable visibility gap if you expand keyword coverage.
- Your strongest non-brand wins come from glossary terms (e.g., “roas”, “ecpm”, “mmp”, “device id”); scaling this into more high-intent “platform comparison,” “pricing,” and “integration/how-to” clusters can convert informational traffic into pipeline.
- With an Authority Score of 58 (solid mid-to-high authority) and ~31k referring domains, you have the link equity to support systematic expansion into more competitive, bottom-funnel topics.
Assessment
You have a strong foundation (authority + content engine), but you’re still meaningfully behind the category leader primarily on breadth of rankings. The “so what” is clear: expanding non-brand, high-intent coverage could unlock material traffic and customer acquisition upside. AirOps can help you scale this by producing and refreshing content systematically across glossary, integration docs, and commercial pages.
Competition at a Glance
Analysis of 3 competitors (Adjust, Branch, and Singular) shows appsflyer.com is currently #2 in monthly organic search traffic and #2 in ranking keywords among the four sites reviewed.
Appsflyer.com drives 41,753 monthly organic visits from 18,460 ranking keywords. The top performer is adjust.com, with 102,994 monthly organic visits and 41,285 ranking keywords—about 2.5× AppsFlyer’s traffic and 2.2× its keyword footprint, indicating a sizable visibility gap versus the market leader.
Overall market visibility is concentrated at the top: Adjust captures roughly 55% of total tracked organic traffic, while AppsFlyer accounts for about 22%. This positioning suggests AppsFlyer is clearly ahead of the smaller challengers (Branch and Singular) but remains meaningfully behind the leader, with the primary gap appearing to be breadth of keyword coverage translating into materially higher organic acquisition.

Rationale
Data engineers are key stakeholders in enterprise attribution deals. By providing a searchable, programmatic dictionary and 'cookbook,' AppsFlyer can capture technical long-tail queries that competitors often ignore.
Topical Authority
The domain's existing strength in technical definitions (glossary) and its high authority score make it a natural fit for detailed data schema and engineering documentation.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate the actual AppsFlyer raw data schema, sample anonymized data rows, and prebuilt queries from solutions engineering playbooks.
Estimated Number of Pages

- how to validate privacy manifest in ci
Rationale
Privacy compliance is a high-urgency, high-volume topic for mobile developers. Providing programmatic, version-specific guidance captures traffic from developers who need immediate answers to avoid App Store rejections.
Topical Authority
AppsFlyer’s extensive developer documentation and dedicated trust/privacy sections provide the necessary foundation to rank for high-stakes compliance queries.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage versioned SDK release notes, internal feature-to-API mapping tables, and official privacy/trust documentation.
Estimated Number of Pages
35,000+ (Covering various SDK versions, modules, and CI tool variants)
Improvements Summary
Upgrade high-intent glossary definitions with a repeatable “Glossary Page 2.0” layout: a 40–60 word definition block, deeper sections (how it works, metrics, examples), and FAQ/PAA targeting. Add cluster-based internal linking via new glossary hubs plus a small set of pillar guides that link to (and receive links from) the glossary pages.
Improvements Details
Re-map priority pages to a primary term plus long-tail H2/H3s: /glossary/mmp/ (“mobile measurement partner”), /glossary/programmatic-tv/ (“programmatic tv advertising”), /glossary/private-marketplace/ (“pmp private marketplace”), /glossary/ad-impression/ (“ad impression meaning”), and the VOD set (“svod meaning”, “tvod meaning”, “what is pvod streaming”). Add a clickable TOC, 1 diagram/table per page, a “Related terms” module (5–8 tight links), DefinedTerm + FAQPage schema, and visible author/review + last updated dates. Publish 2–4 pillars (mobile attribution 2026, programmatic TV/CTV buying + measurement, VOD comparison, hybrid app vs native vs web) and connect them through new hubs like /glossary/mobile-measurement/, /glossary/programmatic-and-ctv/, and /glossary/streaming-and-vod/.
Improvements Rationale
Many pages sit near page 2 with low traffic share, so small relevance wins (definition block, intent-matched headings, FAQ targeting) can move rankings and capture Featured Snippets/PAA. Consolidated internal linking (hubs + pillars) strengthens topical authority across related definitions, reduces VOD keyword overlap, and pushes multiple terms into the top 10 faster than writing isolated new glossary entries.
