Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for ~2k organic keywords and drive ~3k estimated monthly organic visits (traffic value ~$18k), but visibility is concentrated in a small set of terms/pages.
- Organic demand is heavily brand-led: “quantcast” alone drives ~46% of keyword traffic, plus misspellings; the homepage generates ~51% of all organic visits.
- Authority is mid-tier at 31 despite a very large link profile (~206k referring domains / ~11m backlinks), suggesting lots of links but not enough high-authority relevance to dominate competitive adtech topics.
Growth Opportunity
- You’re significantly behind category leaders: thetradedesk.com drives ~27k organic visits and ranks for ~15k keywords vs your ~3k visits and ~2k keywords—clear headroom if you expand coverage.
- Non-brand acquisition is currently narrow and mostly TOFU glossary/blog terms (e.g., “creative marketing,” “brand advertising,” “adtech,” “what is ctv”); build systematic topic clusters around DSP/programmatic, CTV, measurement, cookieless, and platform use-cases to earn more non-brand traffic.
- Many content areas aren’t pulling weight yet (large sitemap, many pages at ~0 traffic); improving internal linking from high-traffic hubs (homepage, /blog/what-is-adtech…, /wiki/) and refreshing/expanding glossary + solution pages can lift rankings sitewide.
Assessment
You have a recognizable brand and a solid content foundation, but organic search is currently small and overly dependent on branded queries. The gap versus competitors is primarily keyword footprint and content scale, not just links. AirOps can help you execute a systematic, high-volume content program to expand non-brand visibility and capture materially more demand.
Competition at a Glance
Across 2 direct competitors (The Trade Desk and StackAdapt), the organic search landscape shows Quantcast competing against much larger content visibility footprints.
quantcast.com ranks 3rd of 3 in both estimated monthly organic traffic (3,285 visits) and ranking keywords (1,562). The market leader, thetradedesk.com, delivers 26,891 monthly organic visits and ranks for 15,287 keywords, indicating substantially broader search presence.
Overall, Quantcast’s market position reflects a clear organic discovery gap: competitors cluster around ~15K ranking keywords, while Quantcast is closer to ~1.6K, limiting how often the brand can be found across relevant industry topics. The competitive advantage appears driven primarily by scale of keyword coverage and visibility, which translates into meaningfully higher inbound demand for the leaders.

- CPA benchmarks for [industry]
- video completion rate benchmarks [industry]
Rationale
Advertisers frequently search for benchmarks during the planning and budgeting phase. Providing this data establishes Quantcast as a thought leader and a primary source for programmatic planning data.

Example Keywords
- DSP for customer acquisition
- DSP for incrementality testing
- programmatic advertising for lead generation
- performance advertising platform for [org type]
Rationale
Targeting specific use cases allows Quantcast to capture buyers who are searching for solutions to particular business challenges rather than just generic platform features.
Topical Authority
The domain already has established sections for industry solutions and omnichannel offerings. Scaling these into specific use-case pages builds on this existing structural authority.
Internal Data Sources

Example Keywords
- how to run programmatic advertising without third-party cookies
- privacy sandbox targeting strategies
- TCF v2.2 implementation checklist
- server-side tagging for advertising
Rationale
As the industry shifts away from third-party cookies, there is a massive surge in search volume for execution-grade privacy guidance. These pages position Quantcast as a leader in the cookieless future.
Topical Authority
Quantcast's Legal Center and existing privacy-focused site sections provide a strong foundation of trust and legitimacy in the eyes of search engines.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize legal and privacy guidance, internal platform governance policies, and technical documentation on cookieless measurement.
Estimated Number of Pages
600+ (Covering different regulations, implementation stacks, and regional requirements)
Improvements Summary
Prioritize high-volume /wiki/term/ pages and rewrite them to match definition-led SERP formats: a snippet-ready intro, scannable H2 sections, and FAQs that mirror “what is/definition” queries. Add a glossary hub and stronger internal linking so term pages pass authority into related terms and into product pages without heavy CTAs above the fold.
Improvements Details
For pages like /creative-marketing/, /brand-advertising/, /direct-response-advertising/, and /awareness-campaign/, add a 40–60 word definition under the H1 (use the exact term in sentence one), then standardize sections: Why it matters, How it works, Examples, KPIs, Related terms, and 4–8 FAQs (with FAQPage + DefinedTerm schema). Add comparison blocks (e.g., brand vs direct response; impressions vs reach) and E-E-A-T elements (author/reviewer, last updated, 2–4 citations such as IAB/Google Ads glossary). Build a “Advertising & Programmatic Glossary” hub, add “Related terms” modules with consistent anchor text, publish 3–5 supporting pillar articles, and fix canonical/301 issues for trailing vs non-trailing slash URLs.
Improvements Rationale
These glossary pages target definitional intent and have strong volume (e.g., “creative marketing,” “brand advertising,” “ssp advertising”), but large result counts mean ranking gains depend on snippet/FAQ formatting and clearer entity relationships, not extra keywords alone. Many terms appear to be in page-2 positions where improved structure, schema, and tighter internal linking can move them into page-1 placements and increase click-through from better titles and metas.
