Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 31k organic keywords and drive ~47k monthly organic visits (≈$297k in equivalent ad spend), placing you #2 vs Appian/Creatio but far behind Microsoft’s scale.
- Authority is solid at 50 (with ~157k backlinks from ~10k referring domains), giving you a credible foundation to compete for more non-brand terms.
- Traffic is led by mostly top-of-funnel guides, including /application-development/what-is-application-development (~3k visits), project management phases (~2k), what is a project (~2k), plus BPM/workflow and collaboration content; top keywords include “kissflow”, “business process monitor”, and “app/application development.”
Growth Opportunity
- Your keyword set skews informational; expand and interlink more bottom-funnel pages (e.g., alternatives/compare, pricing, use cases, templates) to convert existing demand into trials/demos.
- Many high-volume generics show low traffic share (e.g., “collaboration”, “app development”, “procurement”), signaling room to improve rankings via systematic topic clusters, refreshes, and stronger internal linking from high-traffic hubs.
- You have clear headroom in the category: Microsoft’s organic footprint is orders of magnitude larger, so capturing even small incremental share across BPM/workflow, procurement, and low-code terms can compound meaningfully.
Assessment
You have a strong mid-market SEO base (authority + breadth of rankings), but most traffic comes from educational content that can be better productized. The so-what: there’s meaningful upside in building scalable, conversion-oriented content and improving rankings on the biggest non-brand terms. AirOps can help you execute this systematically at scale.
Competition at a Glance
Across 3 competitors (Microsoft Power Apps, Appian, and Creatio), Kissflow’s organic search presence is strong in its peer set but far smaller than the market leader’s overall footprint.
Kissflow ranks #2 in monthly organic traffic and #2 in ranking keywords among the sites analyzed, generating 47,101 monthly organic visits from 30,575 ranking keywords (behind Microsoft and ahead of Appian and Creatio on both metrics).
The top performer is Microsoft, with 57,587,632 monthly organic visits and 15,874,252 ranking keywords, underscoring a major visibility gap at the top end of the market. At the same time, Kissflow holds a clear lead over Appian (42,150 visits; 26,298 keywords) and Creatio (21,145 visits; 17,921 keywords), positioning it as a leading mid-pack brand that can defend and extend its advantage versus direct peers while recognizing the scale difference to the category giant.
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 massive library of programmatic pages detailing how Kissflow connects specific software tools to automate business use cases. This targets high-intent buyers looking for specific technical solutions to bridge gaps between their existing tech stack and Kissflow.
Example Keywords
- {app} integration with {category tool}
- connect {app1} to {app2}
- sync {object} between {app1} and {app2}
- {app} approval process automation
Rationale
Integration queries are high-intent for buyers evaluating platforms as they are often 'must-have' requirements. By providing detailed 'recipes,' Kissflow captures users at the point of technical evaluation.
Topical Authority
Kissflow already wins with large operational intent content, holding 30,575 organic keywords and an Authority Score of 50. Expanding into long-tail integration intent is a natural progression of this authority.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize Kissflow API documentation (api.kissflow.com), developer docs, existing integration catalog pages, and customer success stories tagged by toolchain.
Estimated Number of Pages
800–2,500 (Based on 250 apps with multiple use-case variants each)
Develop a comprehensive directory of process-specific application pages tailored by industry and department. These pages provide a 'blueprint' for automating specific workflows like capital expense requests or vendor onboarding.
Example Keywords
- {process} software
- {process} system
- {process} automation software
- {process} approval software
Rationale
This play shifts acquisition toward high-intent solution selection queries. Users searching for specific process software are further down the funnel than those seeking general workflow definitions.
Topical Authority
The domain has deep coverage of operational work themes with over 690 workflow URLs and 370+ FAQ URLs, signaling to Google that Kissflow is an authority on how work gets done.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage existing Kissflow templates, Appstore apps, product feature libraries, and video transcripts demonstrating specific use cases.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,500–6,000 (Covering 150 processes across 10+ industries)
Generate pages that map specific regulatory frameworks to automated workflow implementations, including evidence checklists for auditors. This targets enterprise buyers in regulated industries like banking, healthcare, and insurance.
Example Keywords
- {framework} compliance software for {process}
- {framework} evidence collection workflow
- audit trail for {process}
- {framework} control mapping
Rationale
Compliance intent is a major driver for software shortlists. Providing actionable operational guidance on auditability and controls positions Kissflow as an enterprise-grade solution.
Topical Authority
While currently a thinner area for the site, Kissflow's strong general authority in process management provides the foundation to build topical authority in the adjacent compliance space.
Internal Data Sources
Use security posture pages, analyst reports, case studies in regulated industries, and platform capability documentation regarding audit logs and permissions.
Estimated Number of Pages
400–1,200 (Covering 8+ frameworks across various business processes)
Create programmatic migration guides for teams outgrowing spreadsheets, email-based approvals, or legacy point solutions. These pages highlight the risks of current methods and provide a clear path to a modern low-code solution.
Example Keywords
- {tool} replacement
- alternatives to {tool} for {process}
- replace spreadsheets for {process}
- replace email approvals for {process}
Rationale
This play captures the 'now I need software' moment when teams realize their current manual processes are failing. It targets users actively seeking a replacement for specific pain points.
Topical Authority
Kissflow already has established comparison surfaces (alternatives and compare URLs), which can be scaled to cover the vast universe of point tools and spreadsheet-driven processes.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate ROI calculator logic, customer reviews, migration helpdocs, and feature inventory data to create credible migration playbooks.
Estimated Number of Pages
500–2,000 (Targeting 200+ tools and categories across multiple use cases)
Develop landing pages tailored to specific professional roles, focusing on the processes they own and the KPIs they need to improve. This personalizes the value proposition for IT leaders, finance controllers, and HR managers.
Example Keywords
- software for {role} to manage {process}
- {role} approval system
- request management system for {role}
- {role} operational dashboard software
Rationale
Role-based queries allow Kissflow to speak directly to the unique pain points of different buyers. It aligns the product's capabilities with the specific outcomes each persona is measured on.
Topical Authority
Kissflow already publishes to multiple buyer audiences (IT leaders, business users), and its strong backlink profile supports launching a large volume of commercial landing pages.
Internal Data Sources
Use existing persona pages, webinar transcripts for authentic pain point language, and success stories tagged by role and team.
Estimated Number of Pages
600–3,000 (Covering 60+ roles with 10-50 process responsibilities each)
Improvements Summary
Rebuild the /workflow and /workflow/bpm cluster around a single pillar page targeting "business process optimization," with each supporting URL mapped to a distinct primary keyword to stop overlap. Rewrite titles/H1s, add definition + framework + example above the fold, and add FAQ/HowTo schema, tables, and a jump-to TOC to lift CTR and rankings.
Improvements Details
Make /workflow/bpm/business-process-optimization/ the pillar for "business process optimization" and reposition spokes for "workflow optimization," "process efficiency," and "process management definition" with unique angles, headings, and intent. Expand the pillar with a step-by-step snippet-ready section, techniques (Lean, Six Sigma), metrics, department examples, tooling, templates, and FAQs; upgrade spokes with checklists, KPI tables, and before/after examples. Add internal links from the pillar to each spoke with keyword-relevant anchors (e.g., "workflow optimization," "process efficiency," "benefits of BPM") and link into the pillar from broader workflow pages; add 4–6 new spokes like "BPM vs workflow automation vs RPA" and "process mapping template" to tighten topical coverage.
Improvements Rationale
Several cluster pages show page-2 signals (low traffic share despite meaningful volume) and moderate keyword competition, so tighter intent matching, stronger above-the-fold answers, and SERP features can move rankings into the top 10. Overlapping "optimization" topics risk cannibalization, so clear keyword-to-URL ownership plus hub-and-spoke internal linking consolidates relevance and passes authority to priority terms like "business process optimization" and "workflow optimization."
