Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 35k organic keywords and drive about 51k monthly organic visits (≈ $481k in equivalent traffic value), but you’re 4th in organic traffic among key competitors despite having the 3rd-largest keyword footprint.
- Authority is solid but not dominant: Authority Score 49 backed by 69k backlinks from 10k referring domains—enough to compete, but you’ll need stronger topical authority to close the visibility gap vs category leaders.
- Traffic is concentrated in a few URLs: the homepage (~19k visits / 37%) and the employee engagement guide (~10k / 19%) lead, with other top pages centered on HR education (e.g., employee feedback examples, Likert scale, managing up); top queries include “culture amp” (brand-led) and “employee engagement” (major non-brand driver).
Growth Opportunity
- You have clear upside in converting breadth into rankings: a large share of visibility sits in informational topics—expand and optimize into higher-intent queries like employee engagement software/platform, pricing, and alternatives/comparisons to capture more bottom-funnel demand.
- Reduce leakage from off-topic queries hitting the homepage (e.g., “adult/dirty jokes”) and tighten topical relevance + internal linking so your highest-traffic guides systematically funnel users into /platform and /plans-and-pricing pages.
- Competitor gap is massive (Microsoft Viva Glint ecosystem dominates); you can still win meaningful share by scaling a repeatable content program across engagement, performance management, surveys, DEI, and people analytics with consistent templates and refreshes.
Assessment
You have a strong content-led foundation, but your 51k visits underperform your 35k keyword footprint, signaling room to improve rankings and intent mix. The fastest path to material traffic growth is systematically expanding and interlinking high-intent product + comparison content from your highest-performing guides. AirOps can help you execute that program at scale and close the conversion gap from existing search demand.
Competition at a Glance
Across 3 competitors (Qualtrics, Lattice, and Microsoft Viva Glint), Culture Amp shows solid keyword breadth but lower overall organic visibility: 51,077 monthly organic visits from 34,621 ranking keywords.
In this set, cultureamp.com ranks 4th in organic search traffic and 3rd in ranking keywords (just ahead of Lattice on keyword coverage). The clear market leader is Microsoft (Viva Glint on microsoft.com) with 58,286,202 monthly organic visits and 15,488,690 ranking keywords.
Overall, the market landscape is defined by two forces: mass-scale visibility leaders (Microsoft, and to a lesser extent Qualtrics) that dominate share of search demand, and a near-parity mid-tier where Culture Amp and Lattice have similar keyword footprints but Culture Amp captures slightly less traffic. This indicates a meaningful gap in how much traffic the current keyword presence translates into, alongside a broader visibility gap versus the category leaders.

A programmatic directory of technical integration pages that detail how Culture Amp connects with specific HRIS, ATS, and Identity providers. This play captures high-intent technical evaluators and procurement teams looking for specific data-flow compatibility.
Example Keywords
- "workday employee survey integration"
- "bamboohr performance review integration"
- "okta sso employee experience platform"
- "adp hr data sync engagement surveys"
Rationale
Buyers in the evaluation stage often search for specific software compatibility to ensure seamless data migration and automated user provisioning. By providing granular integration guides, Culture Amp can capture this bottom-funnel traffic that competitors often gate behind sales calls.
Topical Authority
Culture Amp already possesses strong platform and trust signals with an Authority Score of 49 and existing subdomains for API documentation and support, making it a credible source for technical implementation content.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage API documentation (docs.api.cultureamp.com), partner one-pagers, security trust center collateral, and integration troubleshooting articles from the support knowledge base.

Example Keywords
- "vendor risk questionnaire employee survey platform"
- "SOC 2 employee survey vendor"
- "WCAG compliant HR software employee surveys"

Rationale
Enterprise deals are frequently won or lost in the procurement phase; providing public, searchable answers to standard security and compliance questions builds immediate trust and reduces sales friction. This strategy targets high-intent, late-stage evaluation queries.
Topical Authority

Internal Data Sources

- "career ladder template [job title]"
- "promotion criteria examples [role]"
Rationale
HR professionals building career paths are the primary audience for Culture Amp’s 'Develop' and 'Perform' products. Providing the raw templates for these frameworks positions the brand as the essential tool for operationalizing them.

Example Keywords
- "employee turnover cost calculator [industry]"
- "business case for employee experience platform"
- "manager effectiveness ROI"
- "cost of attrition calculator [company size]"
Rationale
Budget approval is often the final hurdle in a sale; providing industry-specific ROI benchmarks and 'board-ready' memos helps internal champions secure funding. This targets high-intent, bottom-funnel financial queries.
Topical Authority
Culture Amp’s reputation for 'People Science' and its existing measurement-focused content (like Likert scale guides) provide the necessary credibility for financial modeling content.
Internal Data Sources

Estimated Number of Pages

Improvements Summary
Create a “Manager Effectiveness” hub page and rework each post as a spoke with tighter keyword targets, clearer page roles, and stronger cross-linking. Refresh on-page structure across the cluster with early definitions, jump-link TOCs, script/example sections, and FAQ blocks that match high-intent queries.
Improvements Details
Resolve 1:1 cannibalization by positioning /the-importance-of-1-on-1-meetings around benefits/cadence and keeping /one-on-one-meeting-questions as the question library (targeting “1 to 1 questions” and “one on one questions to ask employees”). Expand /managing-up-importance for “managing up” and definition variants with above-the-fold definitions, a “managing up vs. sucking up” section, and copy-paste scripts/templates; separate feedback pages into “how-to” (/how-to-give-effective-feedback) vs an example bank (/employee-feedback-examples). Add hub-and-spoke internal links (plus “related resources” blocks), schema-ready FAQs, author/reviewer credentials, and product bridges to Develop/Perform; strengthen performance review pages around “performance rating scale(s)” and “performance review bias” with comparison tables and mitigation checklists.
Improvements Rationale
The payload shows the best demand/competition mix around “managing up,” while broad “1 on 1” is highly competitive, so narrowing intent and page focus improves ranking odds and CTR. Consolidating the cluster via a hub, fixing overlapping targets, and adding templates/examples aligns content with definition, checklist, and script intent that drives long-tail clicks and PAA visibility. Stronger internal linking and credibility signals help move pages from positions 11–20 into the top 10 and create clearer paths to assisted conversions without disrupting informational intent.
