Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You are driving ~225k monthly organic visits, valued at ~$234k in equivalent ad spend.
- Your performance is anchored by strong brand recognition, with branded searches like "foxit" and "foxit reader" driving a significant share of traffic from your ~95k ranking keywords.
- Your core product pages are top performers, with the PDF Reader and PDF Editor pages alone capturing over 44% of all organic traffic, showing a strong product-led acquisition funnel.
Growth Opportunity
- The market leader, Adobe, generates 45.7m monthly visits, highlighting a massive addressable market and a significant opportunity to close the visibility gap.
- High-volume, non-branded keywords like "pdf to word" (246k searches/mo) and "pdf merger" (90.5k searches/mo) represent a major untapped opportunity, as you currently capture a small fraction of this high-intent traffic.
- Your strong authority (Score: 65) and ~32k referring domains provide a powerful foundation to aggressively target and rank for more competitive, non-branded keywords.
Assessment
You have a strong foundation with a clear path to capturing a much larger share of the market. Data reveals a systematic opportunity to improve rankings for high-volume, non-branded tool and converter keywords where user intent is high. AirOps can help you execute a content strategy to systematically scale your presence for these valuable terms.
Competition at a Glance
An analysis of 2 key competitors shows that foxit.com currently ranks 3rd for monthly organic search traffic, with approximately 225,000 visits. However, the site ranks 2nd for the number of keywords it appears for in search results, with over 95,000 ranking keywords, placing it ahead of Nitro PDF in that specific metric.
The market is overwhelmingly dominated by Adobe Acrobat, which generates an estimated 45.7 million monthly organic visits from over 12.5 million keywords. This represents a substantial gap in market visibility and search engine presence between Foxit and the leading competitor.
While Foxit is in a tight race with Nitro PDF for the second position in organic traffic, the significant lead held by the top competitor highlights a clear opportunity for growth. Closing this performance gap would allow Foxit to capture a much larger share of the available audience and strengthen its position in the competitive landscape.

Improvements Summary
Refine on-page SEO for key Foxit product and tool pages by targeting high-volume brand-plus-task and generic task keywords, improving meta elements, and adding structured FAQ and comparison content. Strengthen internal linking from blog tutorials and across product pages to consolidate authority and address cannibalization.
Improvements Details
Update title tags, H1s, and meta descriptions to include both brand and task keywords such as 'foxit reader free download' and 'merge pdf files.' Add FAQ blocks with schema, comparison tables, demo videos, and OS-specific CTAs to product pages. Expand content with mini-guides, launch a comparison sub-folder, and create a PDF Task Hub pillar page. Improve internal linking from how-to blogs to product pages and between related tools, and consolidate outdated URLs with 301 redirects.
Improvements Rationale
These actions target striking distance keywords to move pages from the second to the first results page, increase click-through rates, and capture more People-Also-Ask and featured snippet opportunities. Strengthening internal linking and clarifying page differentiation will help concentrate authority, reduce cannibalization, and drive more qualified organic traffic and downloads.
