Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for ~5k organic keywords and drive ~5k monthly organic visits (traffic value ~$35k), but visibility is concentrated in a small set of queries and pages.
- Organic demand is heavily brand-led: the homepage drives ~60% of traffic, with top keywords like “aspect” and “aspect software” contributing a large share, alongside a few non-brand terms like “workforce engagement” and “employee engagement.”
- Your Authority Score is 39 (moderate), and while you have ~1.1m backlinks from ~5k referring domains, the authority level suggests link equity/quality and topical authority aren’t fully translating into broad rankings.
Growth Opportunity
- You have a clear competitive gap: you’re 4th of 4 vs NICE/Verint/Calabrio, and the leader (nice.com) captures ~96k monthly organic visits (about ~20× more) with ~48k ranking keywords—showing substantial addressable search demand.
- Reduce reliance on the homepage/brand by expanding and improving rankings for high-intent category terms (e.g., workforce management software, WFM, WFO, workforce engagement management) and building supporting topic clusters that funnel into product and demo pages.
- Your best-performing non-brand content is already in “what is…” education (e.g., workforce engagement management, employee engagement); systematize this into scalable templates (comparisons, integrations, industry use-cases, feature pages) to grow non-brand traffic and capture more mid/bottom-funnel queries.
Assessment
You have a solid base (moderate authority and a strong backlink footprint), but organic performance is still small and brand-concentrated. Closing the keyword coverage and non-brand ranking gap is the main lever to unlock meaningful traffic growth. AirOps can help you scale a systematic content engine to expand share in WFM/WFO and contact-center intent terms.
Competition at a Glance
Across 3 direct competitors (NICE, Verint, and Calabrio), aspect.com’s organic presence is meaningfully smaller in both visibility and demand capture. Aspect currently records 4,838 monthly organic visits and 4,539 ranking keywords within this peer set.
Among the four sites compared, aspect.com ranks 4th in organic search traffic and 4th in ranking keywords. The market leader is nice.com, generating 95,816 monthly organic visits from 47,781 ranking keywords, which is roughly 19.8× more traffic and 10.5× broader keyword coverage than aspect.com.
Overall, the landscape indicates a clear market visibility gap for aspect.com versus the category leaders, driven by both limited keyword footprint and lower traffic captured per keyword. Even against Calabrio, where keyword coverage is relatively close, aspect.com captures substantially less traffic—signaling a weaker share of search attention in key customer-experience and contact-center topics compared with higher-performing peers.
Opportunity Kickstarters
Here are your content opportunities, tailored to your domain's strengths. These are starting points for strategic plays that can grow into major traffic drivers in your market. Connect with our team to see the full traffic potential and activate these plays.
Create a massive library of static pages that answer specific staffing math questions based on varying volume, service level targets, and channel types. This positions Aspect as the definitive source for operational planning math, capturing planners exactly when they are modeling new departments or shifts.
Example Keywords
- erlang c staffing for 80/20 service level
- how many agents for 500 calls per hour
- staffing model for 30 second ASA
- chat concurrency staffing requirements
- email backlog management headcount formula
Rationale
Workforce planners frequently search for specific staffing scenarios to validate their own models. By providing pre-calculated scenario pages with operational guidance, Aspect can capture high-intent traffic from users who are currently outgrowing manual spreadsheets and need professional WFM software.
Topical Authority
Aspect's existing top-performing organic content is already centered on workforce engagement management definitions; moving into the 'math of the work' is a natural authority extension that competitors like NICE and Verint have not fully mapped at a granular, long-tail level.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize internal ROI and TCO calculator assumptions, proprietary planning methodologies, and anonymized benchmarking data to provide realistic staffing ranges and sensitivity analysis.
Estimated Number of Pages
5,000+ (Covering combinations of 5+ channels, 100+ volume bands, and 10+ service level/ASA targets)
Develop a comprehensive library of pages detailing how Aspect integrates with specific CRM, CCaaS, HRIS, and Identity platforms. These pages focus on the technical 'how-to' and data-sync benefits of connecting Aspect to the rest of the enterprise tech stack.
Example Keywords
- Aspect Salesforce integration setup guide
- connect Amazon Connect to Aspect WFM
- Zendesk staffing data synchronization
- Microsoft Azure AD SCIM provisioning for Aspect
- Workday HRIS integration for contact center scheduling
Rationale
IT and Ops leaders search for specific integration capabilities during the vendor evaluation phase. Scaling these pages allows Aspect to appear in searches for every major platform in the ecosystem, capturing users looking for interoperability.
Topical Authority
Aspect already has a foundational 'integrations' sitemap; expanding this into deep, technical deployment content leverages existing site structure to dominate long-tail 'connector' queries.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage API documentation, connector technical specifications, SSO/SCIM setup guides, and partner-specific implementation runbooks.
Estimated Number of Pages
800+ (Covering 150+ platforms with variants for setup, data mapping, and use-case benefits)
Generate a library of pages that answer specific security control and compliance questions asked by enterprise IT departments during procurement. This play targets the 'hidden' buyer—the IT auditor—who often searches for specific technical requirements during due diligence.
Example Keywords
- Aspect SOC 2 Type II compliance controls
- WFM software GDPR data processing agreement
- SAML SSO requirements for workforce tools
- data residency options for SaaS contact center software
- responsible AI governance in workforce automation
Rationale
Enterprise deals are often won or lost in the IT security review. By proactively publishing detailed answers to common security questionnaire items, Aspect builds trust early and captures traffic from technical stakeholders who are vetting the platform.
Topical Authority
As an established enterprise provider with an existing 'Responsible AI' commitment, Aspect has the requisite trust signals to rank for high-stakes security and compliance queries.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal security whitepapers, standard security questionnaires (SIG/CAIQ), DPA templates, and architecture diagrams as context for the LLM.
Estimated Number of Pages
500+ (Covering various compliance frameworks, security domains, and technical control questions)
Create a library of pages that provide copy-pasteable RFP requirements and scoring rubrics for different WFM capabilities. This play targets procurement and operations leaders who are in the process of drafting vendor evaluation documents.
Example Keywords
- RFP requirements for agent shift bidding
- intraday automation vendor scoring rubric
- workforce management software evaluation checklist
- multi-site scheduling RFP requirements
- back-office productivity tracking RFP criteria
Rationale
Procurement teams often start their process by searching for templates and requirement lists. Providing these at a granular level ensures Aspect is the 'standard' by which other vendors are measured, while capturing users at the peak of their buying journey.
Topical Authority
Aspect’s deep history in the WFM space provides the necessary expertise to define what 'good' looks like for every sub-feature of the software, a gap currently left open by competitors' more generic content.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize sales engineering RFP response libraries, feature-by-feature competitive battlecards, and standard implementation Statements of Work (SOW).
Estimated Number of Pages
1,200+ (Covering hundreds of specific features across different industries and organizational sizes)
Develop event-based staffing playbooks that address specific industry disruptions and surges. These pages provide actionable staffing strategies for 'irregular operations' (IROPS), catastrophes, and seasonal peaks, tailored to specific verticals.
Example Keywords
- catastrophe claims call surge staffing plan
- airline IROPS staffing and recovery playbook
- retail peak season backlog reduction strategy
- healthcare open enrollment staffing checklist
- utility outage inbound surge management
Rationale
Operational leaders search for solutions during high-stress surge events or when planning for known seasonal peaks. These pages offer immediate value and position Aspect’s automation as the solution to managing volatility.
Topical Authority
Aspect already serves these specific industries (Airlines, Healthcare, Insurance); expanding into 'event-based' playbooks deepens topical authority within those existing high-value segments.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate consulting delivery templates, customer success 'peak readiness' checklists, and anonymized surge-response timelines from previous client successes.
Estimated Number of Pages
600+ (Covering 30+ event types across 10+ industries and multiple communication channels)
Improvements Summary
Consolidate overlapping WFO definition pages into one canonical pillar, then expand it with clear above-the-fold definitions, comparisons (WFO vs WFM vs WEM), and metric/formula sections. Reframe the WEM pillar to target the higher-volume head term "workforce engagement," tighten product-page intent, and connect the cluster with hub-and-spoke internal links plus FAQ/Product structured data.
Improvements Details
Pick /resources/what-is-workforce-optimization as the single WFO pillar and add a rel=canonical or 301 from /faqs/what-is-workforce-optimization; expand the pillar with a 40–60 word definition, "what it includes" bullets, a "WFO vs WFM vs WEM" section, a contact-center workflow graphic, and a WFO metrics section (adherence, shrinkage, ASA, occupancy, AHT, CSAT, QA) with formulas, plus FAQ schema targeting "workforce optimization" and "what is WFO." Update /resources/what-is-workforce-engagement-management with an H1 and early sections led by "workforce engagement," then add drivers, contact-center examples, and metrics (eNPS, attrition, absenteeism, adherence, QA, CSAT) and a "workforce engagement vs employee engagement" comparison; rewrite /workforce-engagement-management title/H1 for "Workforce Engagement Management (WEM) software" intent and add feature blocks (coaching, QM, analytics, self-service) with internal links to the pillars. Upgrade feeder posts (forecasting, shrinkage, schedule adherence) by adding formulas/tools (calculator), PAA-style FAQs, and "Recommended next" modules that link up to /workforce-management and the WFO/WEM pillars using anchors like "workforce engagement" and "enterprise workforce management software."
Improvements Rationale
A single canonical WFO page and clearer page purposes reduce keyword cannibalization and intent confusion, which commonly holds strong URLs on page 2. Refocusing the WEM pillar toward "workforce engagement" (higher volume, modest competition) and tightening internal linking concentrates relevance signals and improves topical coverage. Structured data, stronger on-page targeting, and clearer routes from informational pages to product pages can increase qualified organic sessions and demo-oriented traffic.
