Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for ~8k organic keywords and drive ~38k monthly organic visits (worth ~$151k in equivalent ad spend), with an Authority Score of 50—a solid foundation supported by ~193k backlinks from ~7.5k referring domains
- Organic traffic is heavily concentrated in top-of-funnel branding education: /en/guide/brand-identity drives ~21k visits (~55%), followed by /en/guide/the-best-logos-of-all-time-ever (~4k; ~11%) and the homepage (~3k; ~9%)
- Your biggest keyword theme is “brand identity” (also capturing related misspellings), with additional visibility on terms like “brand strategy,” “brand management,” and “brand guidelines examples”—but most other keywords contribute small shares individually
Growth Opportunity
- The category leader (Bynder) gets ~99k monthly organic visits and ranks for ~18k keywords (~2.6× your traffic), signaling a clear opportunity to expand content breadth and capture more adjacent topics
- Reduce reliance on a single hero page by building clusters around higher-intent product terms (e.g., brand management software/platform, brand asset management software, DAM software, brand portal) and comparison pages (alternatives, pricing, use cases)
- You already have enough authority and link equity to scale publishing systematically; the main unlock is expanding coverage beyond branding “guides” into more BOFU pages that convert
Assessment
Your SEO performance is strong where you show up, but your traffic is overly dependent on one informational topic cluster. The data suggests a meaningful upside by systematically expanding keyword coverage into high-intent brand/DAM software queries. AirOps can help you execute this content expansion at scale to close the visibility gap with Bynder.
Competition at a Glance
Across 2 direct competitors (Bynder and Brandfolder), Frontify’s current organic search footprint is meaningful but not leading. Frontify draws 38,257 monthly organic visits from 7,599 ranking keywords, placing it #2 in organic traffic and #3 in ranking keywords within this set.
The market leader is Bynder, with 98,693 monthly organic visits and 18,479 ranking keywords—about 2.6× Frontify’s traffic and 2.4× its keyword coverage. This indicates a clear visibility gap driven primarily by broader presence across more search topics, rather than dramatically better efficiency.
Frontify’s position is strong for the keywords it already ranks for (it generates more traffic than Brandfolder despite fewer keywords), suggesting solid performance where it is visible. The main market dynamic is that Frontify is competing effectively on existing coverage, but trails the leader due to overall content/keyword breadth, while Brandfolder shows wider keyword coverage with weaker traffic yield.
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 comprehensive library of comparison pages targeting users evaluating brand management and DAM vendors. This strategy captures high-intent traffic by positioning Frontify against competitors and providing objective comparison data.
Example Keywords
- [Competitor] alternative
- Frontify vs [Competitor]
- [Competitor] vs [Competitor] for enterprise
- software like [Competitor]
- best [Competitor] competitors
Rationale
Buyers in the consideration stage frequently search for alternatives to their current tools or compare top-tier vendors. By providing detailed, data-backed comparison pages, Frontify can intercept these high-intent users and demonstrate its unique value proposition.
Topical Authority
Frontify's high domain authority (DA 50) and existing success in brand-led education (e.g., brand identity guides) provide a strong foundation for ranking in the brand operations and DAM software categories.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage 'Built With Frontify' customer examples, Trust Center security documentation, and the product Changelog to provide differentiated, up-to-date comparison points.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,000+ (Covering hundreds of vendors across multiple comparison variants)
Develop a massive collection of implementation-grade playbooks that explain how to use Frontify with specific third-party tools for various workflows. These pages target technical users and managers looking to streamline their tech stack.
Example Keywords
- sync approved assets to [Tool]
- [Tool] brand asset library
- [Tool] template management
- how to keep brand assets consistent in [Tool]
- [Tool] brand approval workflow
Rationale
Modern marketing teams use dozens of tools; showing exactly how Frontify integrates into their specific ecosystem (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Figma) solves a major pain point and captures long-tail search volume.
Topical Authority
The domain already hosts extensive developer documentation and integration-related URLs, signaling to search engines that Frontify is a central hub for brand-tech connectivity.
Internal Data Sources
Use Developer API documentation, Help Center troubleshooting articles, and existing integration landing pages to feed the LLM with technical accuracy.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000+ (Covering 300+ tools across 5-6 specific workflow variants each)
Generate verticalized solution pages that speak directly to the needs of specific teams within specific industries. This strategy pivots Frontify's general brand authority into highly relevant, persona-based content.
Example Keywords
- brand operations platform for [Industry]
- creative operations software for [Industry]
- [Team] brand workflow software
- marketing asset workflow for [Industry]
- brand consistency for [Industry] teams
Rationale
Generic software descriptions often fail to resonate with specialized buyers. Verticalized pages allow Frontify to address industry-specific pain points (e.g., compliance in healthcare or speed in retail) to drive higher conversion rates.
Topical Authority
Frontify's existing strength in brand fundamentals content allows it to credibly expand into solution-oriented intent by mapping its core features to industry-specific use cases.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize 'Built With Frontify' metadata (industry/use-case tags), customer success stories, and industry-specific whitepapers to provide credible proof points.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,000+ (Covering 150+ industries across various functional team roles)
Target IT and procurement gatekeepers with programmatic pages detailing how Frontify meets specific security, compliance, and technical requirements. This intercepts the buying committee during the final stages of vendor evaluation.
Example Keywords
- SAML SSO brand platform
- SOC 2 compliant brand asset software
- GDPR compliant brand asset platform
- data residency brand platform [Region]
- enterprise permissions model for brand assets
Rationale
Procurement and IT teams often search for specific technical requirements during the vetting process. Providing dedicated pages for these queries reduces sales friction and builds enterprise-grade trust.
Topical Authority
The existing Trust Center (trust.frontify.com) provides the necessary E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) to rank for sensitive security and compliance topics.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate Trust Center policies, security certifications, subprocessor information, and admin-level Help Center documentation.
Estimated Number of Pages
500+ (Covering 100+ requirements across regional and industry variants)
Create a high-volume library of operational templates for creative briefs and intake forms. This utility-driven content attracts top-of-funnel users who are looking for better ways to manage their creative workflows.
Example Keywords
- creative brief template for [Deliverable]
- creative request form template [Team]
- creative intake form [Marketing Ops]
- asset approval workflow for [Channel]
- review checklist for [Asset Type]
Rationale
Marketing and creative teams search for templates to improve their processes. By providing these tools, Frontify can introduce its platform as the logical next step for managing the resulting assets.
Topical Authority
Frontify's dominance in 'brand identity' and 'brand strategy' keywords makes it a natural authority for the operational steps required to execute those strategies.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage Help Center governance primitives (roles/permissions), Content Blocks documentation, and 'Built With Frontify' campaign patterns.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000+ (Covering 300+ deliverable types across various channels and team functions)
Improvements Summary
Rebuild the Brand Strategy “Guide” cluster pages to match page-1 intent with answer-first definitions, clear frameworks, step-by-step sections, and high example/template coverage. Add a hub-and-spoke internal linking system plus tighter titles/metas and FAQ schema to raise CTR and rankings.
Improvements Details
Update priority guides (/guide/brand-differentiation, /guide/corporate-branding-strategy, /guide/brand-architecture, /guide/brand-governance, /guide/brand-audit) with a standardized structure: TOC + jump links, mistakes, 2–4 mini-cases, and downloadable assets (Brand Audit Checklist, Brand Governance RACI, Brand KPI Scorecard, Brand Architecture diagram worksheet). Rewrite title tags and meta descriptions to lead with target terms like "corporate branding strategy", "brand differentiation", "brand architecture framework", "chief brand officer", and "brand perception metrics", and add 5–8 on-page FAQs with FAQPage schema. Tighten internal links with consistent anchor text, build /guide/brand-strategy as the main hub, and separate scopes across brand performance/perception/engagement pages to reduce cannibalization while cross-linking with “when to use this vs that” sections.
Improvements Rationale
The payload shows meaningful search demand but near-zero traffic share across many keywords, pointing to weak SERP alignment, thin “template/examples” coverage, and low CTR from titles/snippets. Adding assets, E-E-A-T elements (author bios, sources, annual refresh), and stronger internal authority flow increases the chance of moving key pages from positions ~11–20 into the top 10, which typically brings 2–4x more clicks for the same queries and improves assisted conversion paths to product pages.
