Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 93k organic keywords and drive about 266k monthly organic visits (≈$4.3m in equivalent ad spend value).
- Authority Score is 56 with ~1.1m backlinks from 13k referring domains — a strong authority foundation, especially for competing on category terms.
- Top demand is concentrated in branded + support/navigation queries (e.g., “nextiva”, “nextiva login”, “nextiva fax”) plus a long tail of informational telecom/CX topics (e.g., “virtual phone number”, “customer journey”); your biggest pages are the homepage (~32k visits), “business phone number” guide (~14k), international calling guides (~14k), fax portal (~12k), and login/support pages (~11k).
Growth Opportunity
- The leader (RingCentral) captures ~1.1m monthly organic visits — about 4.2× your traffic — showing meaningful headroom even with only ~2× the keyword footprint.
- You have extensive TOFU coverage (VOIP definitions, calling guides, CX content), but there’s room to systematically expand and strengthen high-intent commercial clusters (pricing, “best X”, alternatives, integrations, industries, and solution pages) to convert more demand into clicks.
- Your keyword-to-traffic efficiency trails competitors like Dialpad, suggesting opportunities in SERP CTR uplift (titles/meta, rich results), internal linking from high-traffic guides to product pages, and better matching search intent on key category terms (e.g., business phone service/VOIP service/contact center software).
Assessment
You have a strong authority and content base, but you’re under-capturing category-level demand versus the top competitors. Closing the gap is less about “more keywords” and more about scaling high-intent content and improving traffic capture from what you already rank for. AirOps can help you execute this systematically at scale to unlock meaningful incremental organic traffic.
Competition at a Glance
Analysis of 3 key competitors (RingCentral, Dialpad, and 8x8) shows Nextiva’s organic search presence is solid but not leading in overall visibility. Nextiva drives 265,997 monthly organic visits and ranks for 93,122 keywords.
Across this set, Nextiva ranks 3rd in organic traffic and 3rd in ranking keywords. The market leader, RingCentral, generates 1,129,419 monthly organic visits and ranks for 189,560 keywords, putting it at roughly 4.2× Nextiva’s traffic with about 2× the keyword footprint.
Overall, the competitive landscape suggests a traffic capture gap more than a pure keyword coverage gap: Dialpad attracts far more visits with only modestly more ranking keywords, indicating stronger conversion of visibility into traffic. Meanwhile, Nextiva outpaces 8x8 on traffic despite a much larger keyword footprint, signaling that Nextiva is positioned in the middle of the pack and needs to close the efficiency and reach gap versus the top two to compete for category-level search demand.

A scalable directory of landing pages that help buyers choose and purchase a local business number across every US state, city, and area code. Each page provides localized context on number availability, area code significance, and clear acquisition paths.
Example Keywords
- “{area code} phone number for business”
- “get a {city} local phone number”
- “buy a {area code} number”
- “{city}, {state} business number”
- “local number in {city} for sales team”
Rationale
Nextiva already earns meaningful organic traffic from telephony education and numbering concepts. This play scales that existing authority to capture high-intent local search queries that are currently underserved.
Topical Authority
Nextiva's top organic pages include numbering guides and international calling instructions, proving that Google already associates the domain with phone numbering intent and calling format guidance.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal number inventory and availability data, porting rules from support documentation, and regional customer stories to provide unique, non-generic localized content.
Estimated Number of Pages
10,000–60,000 pages (Covering cities, major metro variants, and 300+ area codes)
A comprehensive compliance center of static reference pages designed for operations and legal decision-makers to navigate complex telephony regulations. These pages provide plain-language rules, operational checklists, and configuration guidance for recording and messaging.
Example Keywords
- “call recording law in {state}”
- “is it legal to record calls in {state}”
- “10DLC registration requirements”
- “STIR/SHAKEN attestation explained”
- “TCPA texting compliance for businesses”
Rationale
Compliance is a major hurdle for enterprise buyers. By providing authoritative guidance, Nextiva can capture high-intent traffic from leaders looking to implement legal communication workflows.
Topical Authority
Nextiva's extensive support and help sitemaps already contain hundreds of articles on VoIP definitions and contact center resources, providing a strong foundation for regulatory authority.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage internal security and legal policy pages, support documentation for call recording settings, and product configuration steps from Nextiva Academy.
Estimated Number of Pages
800–3,000 pages (Covering 50 states, multiple regulatory topics, and 150+ countries)
An expansion of the current integrations directory into a full universe of app-specific landing pages and use-case wedges. These pages detail how Nextiva connects with popular business software to automate screen pops, call logging, and SMS workflows.
Example Keywords
- “{app} phone integration”
- “click to call in {app}”
- “log calls to {app} automatically”
- “screen pop {app} inbound call”
- “{app} SMS integration for support teams”
Rationale
Competitors like RingCentral and Dialpad are capturing disproportionately more traffic through integration-specific queries. This play bridges that gap by creating high-intent pages for every supported software ecosystem.
Topical Authority
Nextiva already has a developer portal and a baseline integrations directory, signaling to search engines that the domain is a relevant authority for business software connectivity.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize developer documentation (developer.nextiva.com), integration setup guides from support, and customer stories tagged by specific tech stacks.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,000–5,000 pages (Covering 500+ apps with multiple use-case variants)
A massive expansion of industry-specific solution pages targeting thousands of micro-verticals and specific departmental needs. These pages map Nextiva’s features to the unique operational pains of niche business types like law firms, logistics, and healthcare subunits.
Example Keywords
- “phone system for {micro-vertical}”
- “call routing for {micro-vertical}”
- “after hours answering for {micro-vertical}”
- “appointment reminder texting for {micro-vertical}”
- “contact center for {micro-vertical} customer support”
Rationale
Generic industry pages often fail to capture specific long-tail intent. By targeting micro-verticals, Nextiva can provide highly relevant content that drives higher conversion rates among niche buyers.
Topical Authority
Nextiva’s performance in educational and operational communications content proves that Google values its industry-specific guidance, making this a natural extension of existing strengths.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate LinkedIn role data for targeted language, 81+ existing customer stories for proof blocks, and internal feature modules for vertical-specific bundles.
Estimated Number of Pages
5,000–25,000 pages (Covering thousands of micro-verticals and team-specific variants)
A technical directory that converts hardware support documentation into indexable, buyer-friendly pages for phones, headsets, and adapters. These pages provide provisioning guides, firmware updates, and compatibility lists for every device model supported by Nextiva.
Example Keywords
- “{model} provisioning guide”
- “{model} compatible headsets”
- “{model} supported features”
- “{model} factory reset instructions”
- “{model} setup with cloud PBX”
Rationale
Technical hardware queries represent high-intent implementation and purchase searches. Converting existing PDF documentation into structured HTML pages allows Nextiva to capture this technical long-tail traffic.
Topical Authority
Nextiva already hosts a significant number of device-related knowledge categories and support PDFs, establishing it as a credible source for hardware implementation guidance.
Internal Data Sources
Extract data from existing support PDFs, hardware product catalogs, and support ticket themes to identify common troubleshooting patterns per model.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,500–8,000 pages (Covering hundreds of models across multiple scenario pages)
Improvements Summary
Refresh the Contact Center/CX blog cluster to match page-1 intent by adding snippet-ready definition blocks, tighter H2 structures, and expanded long-tail coverage (examples, KPIs, pricing, checklists). Add linkable assets (templates, tables, matrices) and strengthen internal linking with a hub-and-spoke structure plus contextual links from related blog and product pages.
Improvements Details
Rewrite intros to include a 40–60 word definition above the first H2, then add key-takeaway bullets, a jump-link table of contents, and FAQ sections with FAQ schema. Expand keyword sets per page (e.g., "call center metrics" + KPI formulas and dashboard table; "cloud contact center"/"CCaaS" + migration checklist; "cx software" + capability comparison matrix) and publish 6–10 supporting posts like service level formulas, AHT calculator/improvement, CCaaS cost drivers, and omnichannel vs multichannel. Build a "Contact Center & CX Resources" hub that links to each core article, add contextual cross-links between the core pages, and add internal links from relevant product pages into the highest-value posts.
Improvements Rationale
Several pages target only 1–2 tracked terms and sit in competitive SERPs where clearer definitions, stronger topical depth, and better formatting often separate page 2 from page 1. Templates, checklists, formulas, tables, and FAQs improve CTR via featured snippets and PAA while also earning links. A clearer topic hierarchy and stronger internal link flow concentrates authority on priority terms such as "call center metrics," "cloud based contact center"/"CCaaS," and "cx software," supporting rankings and assisted conversions.
