Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 81k organic keywords and drive about 276k monthly organic visits (≈$1.1m in equivalent ad value), putting you in a solid challenger position in business comms/search.
- Your authority is strong (Authority Score 58) with 3.7m backlinks from 41k referring domains—enough trust to win competitive SERPs when paired with focused content.
- Traffic is led by brand + product intent (e.g., “goto” and “gotomeeting”) and a few breakout informational terms like “video conference tips” and “virtual meeting etiquette”; top pages include / (~48k visits), /meeting (~31k), key blog posts, /webinar, /download, and app/login pages.
Growth Opportunity
- The category leader (zoom.us) captures ~2.3m organic visits and 289k keywords—showing a large visibility gap you can close by scaling non-brand acquisition beyond “GoTo/GoToMeeting” terms.
- Your best non-product growth engine is already visible: blog/how-to content and “international calling/country code” pages (e.g., China/UK/Netherlands) drive meaningful traffic—suggesting a repeatable template for expanding high-volume informational clusters that funnel into Connect / Meeting / Webinar.
- You have many high-intent commercial pages (pricing, solutions, integrations) that are not top traffic drivers yet; systematically expanding comparison, alternatives, “best for,” and industry use-case pages can convert more of your authority into bottom-funnel demand.
Assessment
You have a strong foundation (authority + breadth of rankings) but you’re over-indexed on brand/product navigation and a handful of informational winners. The competitive gap implies substantial upside if you scale repeatable content programs that capture more non-brand demand and route it to product pages. AirOps can help you operationalize this content expansion systematically to unlock meaningful organic traffic growth.
Competition at a Glance
Analysis of 3 direct competitors (Zoom, RingCentral, and 8x8) shows GoTo (goto.com) sits in the middle of the organic search landscape for business communications and collaboration.
Across this set, goto.com ranks 3rd in monthly organic traffic with 275,707 visits and 3rd in ranking keywords with 80,747 keywords. The market leader is zoom.us, generating 2,319,651 monthly organic visits and ranking for 288,799 keywords—a sizeable visibility gap versus GoTo.
Overall, GoTo is ahead of 8x8 (214,156 visits; 52,647 keywords) but is meaningfully behind the two leaders (Zoom and RingCentral) in both reach (keywords) and demand capture (traffic). The fact that the traffic gap is larger than the keyword gap indicates competitors are converting their broader visibility into disproportionately higher organic demand, reinforcing GoTo’s current challenger position in the category.

Create programmatic solution landing pages that map specific industries and roles to GoTo Connect workflows. These pages address vertical-specific pains like appointment reminders for healthcare or call routing for law firms.
Example Keywords
- "business phone system for dental offices"

Example Keywords
- "medical office phone greeting script"
- "after hours ivr menu for real estate"
- "holiday phone message for law firm"

Rationale

Topical Authority
GoTo's existing authority in telephony education and its large /connect footprint make it a natural leader for operational communication templates.
Internal Data Sources

Rationale
This play targets the specific workflows that drive SMBs to adopt modern UCaaS platforms. It moves the content strategy from broad informational tips to practical, implementation-ready tools.

- "loa for number porting template"
- "porting rejection reasons BTN mismatch"
- "how to port toll free numbers from comcast"
Rationale
Number porting is the biggest hurdle in switching phone providers. By providing clear, carrier-specific guides, GoTo captures active switchers who are ready to migrate their services.
Topical Authority
GoTo's proven success with international calling and telephony clusters provides the necessary topical relevance to rank for complex porting queries.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal porting operations data, rejection reason logs, and carrier-specific CSR (Customer Service Record) requirements.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000 - 12,000+ (Covering 150+ carriers across multiple number types and edge cases)
Improvements Summary
Refresh the templatized international calling country pages with a consistent snippet-focused layout: an above-the-fold “quick answer” dialing sequence, step-by-step instructions, a small dialing table, and 5–7 FAQs. Add EN/ES hub pages plus tighter internal linking from /connect and /pricing/connect to push priority country pages from page 2 to page 1.
Improvements Details
For each country page, target one primary keyword in the Title/H1/opening block (e.g., "how to call germany from us", "como llamar a mexico desde usa", "telephone country code for netherlands") and map close variants into H2/H3 sections. Add FAQPage schema and HowTo schema for dialing steps, include country-specific "gotchas" (e.g., drop Germany trunk "0", Mexico +52 mobile format), and add a light GoTo Connect section with one CTA plus internal links to /connect and /pricing/connect. Publish EN and ES hub pages about calling internationally from the US, add a “More international calling guides” module on every country page, and verify hreflang/canonicals across language pairs.
Improvements Rationale
These pages show near-zero traffic share despite meaningful query volume and low reported competition, which suggests relevance and SERP formatting are the main blockers (page-2 rankings and/or weak CTR). A standardized quick-answer block, variant-matching headers, and FAQ/HowTo markup better match “quick answer” intent and can win snippets/PAA, while hubs + internal links strengthen topical authority and help multiple pages rise together.
