Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 1.9k organic keywords and drive ~12k estimated monthly organic visits (traffic value ~$85k), putting you well ahead of the only comparable peer here (Dioptra at ~0.3k visits).
- Organic demand is heavily brand + hiring-led: top queries like “ontra” and “ontra careers” drive ~53% of keyword traffic, and your top pages are / (~5.5k, 47%), /careers/ (~2.2k, 19%).
- You have an Authority Score of 34 (mid-tier authority) supported by ~7.4k backlinks from 1.5k referring domains—enough to compete, but likely limiting broader non-brand rankings.
Growth Opportunity
- Reduce concentration risk by expanding non-brand, high-intent visibility: product/solution terms like “contract automation software,” “contract automation,” and CLM topics currently drive small shares despite meaningful volume (e.g., “clm” has 12k searches).
- Turn informational wins into scalable topic clusters: the /blog/what-is-an-nda/ page already drives ~1.9k visits (17%) off broad terms like “nda” (49.5k volume) and “nda meaning” (40.5k)—you can replicate this pattern across contract lifecycle management, negotiation, compliance, and private markets workflows.
- Capture more bottom-funnel traffic by strengthening internal linking and landing pages for products/solutions/pricing (e.g., contract automation, Accord, Insight) so blog demand routes into conversion pages, not just top-of-funnel reads.
Assessment
You have a strong baseline (brand strength + a few breakout content pages), but organic growth is constrained by reliance on brand/careers and mid-tier authority. The “so what”: there’s meaningful upside in systematically building non-brand, high-intent content and landing pages to diversify traffic and pipeline. AirOps can help you execute this content expansion programmatically and consistently.
Competition at a Glance
This competitive snapshot includes 1 direct competitor with complete SEO data (Dioptra); Robin AI data was unavailable, so it is not included in the comparable rankings.

By comparison, the top-performing competitor in this dataset (excluding Ontra) is Dioptra, with 337 monthly organic visits and 369 ranking keywords—positioning Ontra with a clear visibility lead and stronger conversion of keyword coverage into traffic. Overall, Ontra is already in a leadership position in organic demand capture in this peer set, with the main market dynamic being defending and extending an existing advantage rather than catching up.
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.
This play creates programmatic landing pages that map specific private markets workflows to fund strategies and personas. It captures high-intent buyers looking for operational efficiency in their specific niche.
Example Keywords
- "subscription document automation for venture capital"
- "side letter review workflow for private credit"
- "LP onboarding workflow for secondaries funds"
- "capital call notice generation for infrastructure funds"
Rationale
By connecting specific workflows to fund strategies, ontra.ai can capture long-tail entry points that lead directly to product solutions. This targets users at the point of operational pain.
Topical Authority
Ontra.ai already ranks for broad legal and workflow education; extending this into specific fund-strategy niches leverages existing domain trust while capturing underserved queries.
Internal Data Sources
Use product documentation for Accord and Atlas, anonymized workflow metadata, and customer success implementation playbooks to provide differentiated context.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,500+ (Covering 25+ workflows across 20+ fund strategies and 3+ personas)
A structured library of pages explaining specific private markets clauses found in side letters and LPAs. Each page provides negotiation guidance and operational tracking advice.
Example Keywords
- "most favored nation clause in side letter"
- "fee offset clause side letter"
- "key person clause in LPA"
- "ERISA excuse rights clause"
Rationale
These terms are searched by legal and ops professionals right before they evaluate tooling. Providing expert guidance on these clauses positions Ontra as the logical solution for tracking them.
Topical Authority
The domain already demonstrates success with legal concept education (e.g., NDA content); this play expands that authority into more complex, high-value fund agreement terms.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage internal clause taxonomies, red-flag criteria from legal ops playbooks, and anonymized negotiation guidance to offer unique insights.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,200+ (Covering 200+ clauses across multiple document contexts)
This play generates pages organized around DDQ frameworks and individual questions. It provides answer blueprints and evidence checklists for IR and compliance teams.
Example Keywords
- "ILPA DDQ cybersecurity questions"
- "private equity DDQ valuation questions"
- "AIMA DDQ template questions"
- "operational due diligence questions private funds"
Rationale
DDQ responses are a major manual burden; by providing the "blueprint" for answers, Ontra attracts users who are prime candidates for DDQ automation software.
Topical Authority
Ontra has product coverage for DDQs, but current organic capture is low; this structured library builds the necessary topical depth to compete for these high-intent keywords.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize anonymized "best-answer" components, evidence checklists by question type, and product workflow metadata for DDQ solutions.
Estimated Number of Pages
5,000+ (Covering multiple frameworks, sections, and hundreds of individual questions)

Example Keywords
- "SEC private fund adviser rules checklist"
- "FinCEN beneficial ownership reporting for private funds"
- "investment adviser recordkeeping evidence checklist"
- "marketing review workflow for investment advisers"
Rationale
Compliance leaders search for actionable checklists to ensure exam readiness. These pages lead naturally into Ontra’s compliance and audit-trail capabilities.
Topical Authority
Ontra already ranks for some SEC-related terms; expanding into structured operational checklists solidifies its position as a compliance technology leader.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal compliance checklists, exam-readiness playbooks, and security/privacy documentation to provide authoritative, actionable content.
Estimated Number of Pages
800+ (Covering 40+ rule topics across 5+ firm types and 3+ personas)

Example Keywords
- "Delaware SPV management workflow"
- "Cayman fund entity maintenance requirements"
- "Luxembourg fund entity formation checklist"
- "registered agent change workflow Delaware LLC"
Rationale
Entity management is a recurring pain point for GPs. These pages capture users looking for process improvements in specific domiciles where Ontra’s Atlas product excels.
Topical Authority
While a newer area for the domain's SEO, the Atlas product provides the necessary expertise to build a defensible moat in this highly structured, long-tail niche.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage Atlas product documentation, jurisdictional checklists, and anonymized entity event taxonomies to create high-utility guides.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,500+ (Covering 80+ jurisdictions and multiple entity types/lifecycle events)
Improvements Summary
Rework the /products/contract-automation/ page to match commercial SERP intent for “contract automation software” with a stronger above-the-fold, definition block, feature/use-case sections, and FAQs with schema. Refresh supporting posts (CLM, contract tracker, AI contract automation, contract risk) to better match query formats (stages, checklists, comparisons) and drive internal links back to the product page.
Improvements Details
On the product page, add SERP-required sections (“What is contract automation software?”, “How it works”, key features, security/compliance, integrations, private markets use cases) and update title/H1 to include exact-match phrases like “contract automation software”, plus supporting terms like “legal contract automation” and “AI contract automation.” On blog spokes, add a CLM stages jump table and “CLM vs contract automation” block, reframe the tracking post around “contract tracker” with a downloadable fields checklist, and restructure the AI post around what AI can/can’t do with a CTA linking to the product page. Implement a hub-and-spoke internal linking pattern with contextual anchors (e.g., “contract automation tools”), add breadcrumbs/schema, and publish 4–6 new supporting pages (buyer’s guide, comparisons, cycle-time benchmarks, PE workflows).
Improvements Rationale
The product page has a page-1 opportunity for “contract automation software” due to strong intent and unusually low competition, but it likely misses key SERP sections and exact-match on-page elements that drive relevance and CTR. Updating spokes to match intent (definitions, checklists, comparisons) and tightening internal links increases topical authority and link equity to move rankings from page 2 to page 1 while improving demo-ready traffic quality.
