Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- Driving 930k monthly organic visits, with an equivalent ad spend value of $678k, establishing you as a dominant force in the repair space.
- Your site ranks for over 1.1m keywords, supported by a strong Authority Score of 69 and backlinks from 76k domains, indicating immense trust and authority.
- Traffic is well-distributed between branded searches to the homepage (12% of traffic), broad category pages like
/Device/Phone, and highly specific, problem-solving guides and Q&A pages.
Growth Opportunity
- High-volume, non-branded keywords like "car maintenance" (1.8m searches) and "white screen" (368k searches) represent a massive opportunity to capture a larger traffic share by creating more comprehensive content hubs.
- Your nearest competitor generates less than 10k monthly visits, highlighting a vast, uncontested market share that you can continue to absorb by expanding your keyword footprint.
- The success of your device-specific guides (
/Device/) and repair wikis (/Wiki/) provides a proven template to systematically expand into new product categories and sub-categories.
Assessment

The data reveals a clear, systematic opportunity to scale your content strategy, capturing an even larger share of high-intent repair and "how-to" searches.

Improvements Summary
Optimize high-potential iPhone repair guides and parts pages currently ranking just below page one by improving keyword targeting, internal linking, and structured data. Add missing content elements such as cost, tools, safety, and video to increase relevance and SERP visibility.
Improvements Details
Refine title tags, H1s, and intros with primary and secondary keywords like 'iPhone 7 screen replacement' and 'iPhone 12 battery replacement.' Expand guides with sections on tools, safety, calibration, and troubleshooting; embed summary videos and transcripts; implement HowTo and FAQ schema. Strengthen internal linking between device hubs, guides, parts, and wikis using keyword-rich anchors, and publish cornerstone cost-comparison content.
Improvements Rationale
These actions address thin keyword optimization, weak internal linking, and lack of structured data, which are holding back rankings and traffic. By filling content gaps and improving technical SEO, the site can capture rich snippets, increase click-through rates, and drive more users to high-converting parts pages. This approach targets quick wins for striking distance keywords and builds authority against strong competitors.
