Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You are driving 4k monthly organic visits from over 1.2k keywords, with an equivalent ad spend value of $11k.
- Your performance is heavily reliant on brand recognition, with keywords like "kuda" and "kuda bank" driving the vast majority of traffic directly to your homepage, which captures 85% of all visitors.
- You have a moderate domain Authority Score of 45 from over 3.4k referring domains, indicating a solid foundation of trust to build upon.
Growth Opportunity
- Your site ranks for high-volume, non-branded keywords like "loan apps in nigeria" and "how to check bvn" but captures a very small fraction of their potential traffic, highlighting a clear opportunity to improve rankings for existing terms.
- Your blog content on topics like BVN checks and personal loans is already attracting users, providing a proven template for creating more informational content to capture top-of-funnel traffic.
- There is a significant opportunity to expand beyond branded search by creating and optimizing content around broader financial service queries to attract new users.
Assessment
Your organic performance is built on a strong brand foundation but is missing a significant opportunity in non-branded search. The data shows a clear path to grow traffic by systematically targeting high-intent financial topics relevant to your audience. AirOps can help you scale the creation of this targeted content to capture a larger share of the market.
Competition at a Glance
An analysis of the competitive landscape against key competitor OPay shows that kuda.com currently ranks second in organic search traffic. While we rank for slightly more keywords (1,188), our site generates significantly less traffic, indicating a performance gap.
Our current performance is 4,036 in monthly organic traffic. In contrast, the market leader, OPay, generates 6,932 in monthly organic traffic from a similar base of 1,137 keywords. This means OPay attracts over 70% more traffic with a comparable keyword footprint.
This data highlights a substantial opportunity to grow our organic traffic. The top competitor's success demonstrates that their content is more effective at capturing high-value search traffic. There is a clear opportunity to increase our market share by closing this performance gap and better capitalizing on our existing keyword rankings.

Improvements Summary
Create a new pillar page for loans, restructure internal linking, and optimize on-page elements to target high-opportunity keywords like 'loan app in Nigeria' and 'best loan apps in Nigeria'. Consolidate duplicate content, add comparison and FAQ sections, and introduce interactive tools and supporting blog posts.
Improvements Details
Key tasks include launching a comprehensive /loans/ pillar page, mapping primary and supporting keywords to each URL, and rewriting H1/meta titles to match search intent. Add 1,000+ words of competitor comparison, implement FAQ and HowTo schema, and embed calculators and video explainers. Internal links will connect all loan-related pages, and duplicate/thin pages will be redirected or merged to reduce cannibalization.
Improvements Rationale
These actions address low rankings and traffic by clarifying site structure, targeting high-volume keywords, and meeting mixed user intent (discovery, transactional, informational). Improved internal linking and schema markup will help search engines understand content hierarchy, while interactive and comparison content will increase user engagement and authority. Consolidation and technical fixes will prevent cannibalization and support higher rankings for priority terms.
