Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for ~8k keywords and drive ~15k monthly organic visits (≈$92k in equivalent ad spend), leading your peer set by a wide margin (~7× more traffic than the next competitor).
- Organic demand is heavily brand-led: “openspace” and “open space” (plus login variants) drive the majority of traffic, signaling strong brand recognition but limited diversification.
- Authority is solid: Authority Score 40 backed by ~15k backlinks from ~3k referring domains, giving you enough link equity to compete for more non-brand, category terms.
Growth Opportunity
- Traffic is extremely concentrated on the homepage (~13k visits / ~87% of organic traffic); expand acquisition by building/strengthening non-brand landing pages and internal linking so “solutions/products/resources” pages become meaningful entry points.
- You have early traction in commercial/non-brand topics (e.g., “camera for 360”, “progress tracking”, “construction photo documentation/reality capture” queries) but these currently contribute a small share—systematically target more high-intent keywords around progress tracking software, jobsite documentation, 360 cameras, integrations (Procore/ACC/PlanGrid)**, and comparison pages.
- Your long-tail content footprint (blog/resources/support/store) is large, yet most pages drive minimal traffic; refresh, consolidate, and scale topic clusters to capture broader “construction tech” demand beyond branded searches.
Assessment
You have a strong organic foundation and clear category leadership, but you’re overly dependent on branded demand and a single page for traffic. The “so what” is that expanding non-brand, bottom-funnel content and landing pages could unlock meaningful incremental growth without needing to win more brand searches. AirOps can help you execute this systematically at scale while protecting your current lead.
Competition at a Glance
Across 3 direct competitors (Buildots, HoloBuilder, and StructionSite), OpenSpace is the clear visibility leader in organic search.
openspace.ai ranks #1 for both monthly organic traffic (14,784 visits) and ranking keyword footprint (7,857 keywords) within this peer set, indicating the broadest search presence and demand capture.
The strongest competing site is buildots.com with 2,038 monthly organic visits and 611 ranking keywords—meaning OpenSpace is ahead by roughly 7× in traffic and 13× in keyword coverage. Overall, competitors are clustered under ~2.1K monthly visits while OpenSpace operates near 14.8K, reinforcing a market position where the primary narrative is not catching up, but protecting and extending an already substantial lead in organic discovery.
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.
A programmatic library mapping thousands of CSI/MasterFormat sections to on-site visual verification playbooks. This strategy targets technical spec-based queries used by quality managers and superintendents to ensure field work matches contract requirements.
Example Keywords
- "07 84 00 firestopping inspection checklist"
- "09 29 00 gypsum board inspection checklist"
- "MasterFormat quality control checklist"
- "CSI section field inspection requirements"
- "spec section close-in verification"
Rationale
By translating technical specifications into actionable field verification guides, OpenSpace can capture high-intent traffic from professionals looking for standardized quality workflows. This positions the brand as the bridge between the design spec and the physical reality of the jobsite.
Topical Authority
OpenSpace already leads in visual intelligence and site documentation; extending this into the CSI framework leverages existing domain strength in construction technology and field execution.
Internal Data Sources
Use OpenSpace Academy training workflows, Support Center operational steps, and anonymized Field Notes taxonomies to provide specific, non-generic verification steps for each spec section.
Estimated Number of Pages
15,000+ (Covering the full range of MasterFormat divisions and subsections)
A comprehensive directory of inspection hold points and special inspection regimes mapped to visual evidence requirements. These pages target critical compliance moments where verifiable records are mandatory for project progression.
Example Keywords
- "rebar pre-pour inspection checklist"
- "special inspection structural steel checklist"
- "fireproofing thickness density evidence"
- "concrete placement inspection hold point"
- "structural masonry special inspection requirements"
Rationale
Hold points are high-stakes moments in construction that require definitive proof of quality. Providing detailed evidence playbooks for these moments attracts project managers and inspectors who need to standardize their documentation processes.
Topical Authority
The platform's core value proposition is providing a "single source of truth" for the jobsite, making it the natural authority for high-liability inspection documentation.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage internal implementation checklists from Customer Success, case study data on risk reduction, and Support documentation on generating and sharing secure evidence exports.
Estimated Number of Pages
6,000+ (Covering various material types, trades, and jurisdictional inspection requirements)
A programmatic library focused on verifying that installed components match approved submittals. Each page details the specific attributes (model, rating, finish) that must be visually confirmed for different material categories.
Example Keywords
- "submittal compliance verification workflow"
- "installed vs approved submittal checklist"
- "material verification checklist construction"
- "fire damper installation verification"
- "VAV box serial number verification"
Rationale
Procurement and compliance teams often struggle to prove that the materials on-site match the design intent. This play targets the "prove it" intent of commercial construction professionals.
Topical Authority
OpenSpace's existing footprint in site monitoring and AI-driven progress tracking provides a strong foundation for expanding into material and component-level verification.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize product data sheets, Field Notes tagging structures, and Academy modules on navigating and annotating specific site components.
Estimated Number of Pages
10,000+ (Mapping across hundreds of component categories and verification attributes)
Vertical-specific playbooks for room-level closeout and turnover readiness. These pages provide checklists for critical milestones like "pre-drywall" or "above-ceiling" inspections across different asset classes like hospitals and data centers.
Example Keywords
- "above ceiling inspection checklist hospital"
- "pre drywall inspection checklist hotel"
- "turnover readiness checklist data center"
- "operating room close-in requirements"
- "white space turnover evidence checklist"
Rationale
Closeout is the most painful phase of a project; by providing room-specific readiness guides, OpenSpace can capture traffic from teams desperate to organize their final documentation and handoff packages.
Topical Authority
The platform's ability to provide navigable, time-stamped visual records makes it the ideal authority for "readiness" and turnover workflows.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate vertical-specific case studies (healthcare, retail, commercial), customer onboarding SOPs, and Academy content on turnover package generation.
Estimated Number of Pages
8,000+ (Covering vertical asset classes, room types, and project milestones)
A matrix of pages targeting VDC and BIM coordination queries, specifically focusing on validating that the digital model matches field reality. This play targets the technical audience responsible for model coordination and as-built accuracy.
Example Keywords
- "BIM field verification workflow"
- "model validation in construction"
- "as-built vs BIM verification"
- "MEP coordination verification checklist"
- "field verification of embeds and sleeves"
Rationale
As BIM adoption grows, the need to verify the model against the physical site becomes critical. This strategy captures the high-intent VDC audience looking for efficient validation workflows.
Topical Authority
OpenSpace's existing "BIM Compare" feature and related learning content (learn.openspace.ai) provide the necessary technical credibility to own this category.
Internal Data Sources
Use BIM Compare training materials, API documentation for model integrations, and release notes detailing model-to-field overlay capabilities.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000+ (Covering various disciplines, use cases, and coordination phases)
Improvements Summary
Tighten keyword-to-URL targeting across the Reality Capture + Jobsite Documentation + 360 Cameras cluster and expand each page with page-1 intent sections (definitions, workflows, comparisons, FAQs). Add unique copy to the 360 camera collection and connect all pages with a pillar-to-spoke internal linking structure that routes readers to /products/capture/ and purchase paths.
Improvements Details
Update priority URLs with the recommended primary/secondary terms (e.g., "construction site photo documentation," "jobsite photo documentation," "jobsite reality capture," "reality capture in construction," "360 camera for construction," "360 camera cost") and rewrite titles/H1s to reflect those intents. Add tactical blocks per page: numbered "reality capture process" workflow, method comparison tables (360 vs laser scanning vs drones), a scan-friendly photo documentation checklist with a downloadable asset, and FAQs with FAQ schema; add Product/SoftwareApplication schema on /products/capture/. Publish new support content for gaps ("Jobsite Reality Capture" explainer and "360 Camera Cost in 2026" guide) and build hub-and-spoke links between the pillar page, blogs, product pages, and the store collection with descriptive anchors.
Improvements Rationale
The cluster has strong long-tail opportunities with relatively low result counts/competition proxies (notably "jobsite photo documentation" and "jobsite reality capture"), but current pages cover too few related queries and miss common SERP sections like comparisons, cost guidance, and FAQs. 360 camera queries are highly competitive, so richer intent coverage plus stronger internal link flow is needed to win rankings and CTR while moving users from research to product evaluation and camera purchase/demos.
