Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for ~1.5k organic keywords and drive ~3k monthly organic visits (traffic value ~$16k), which is relatively small for the event software category.
- Organic traffic is heavily brand-led: “rainfocus” (~64%) and “rain focus” (~8%) dominate, with secondary demand from “rainfocus careers” (~5%) and a small amount of non-brand blog traffic (e.g., “templatizing/templatization/templatize”).
- Your Authority Score is 33 (moderate), supported by ~4k referring domains and ~4.3m backlinks; traffic is concentrated on the homepage (~74%), then /insight/ (~6%), /company/careers/ (~5%), and one blog post on templated events (~4%).
Growth Opportunity
- You’re significantly underrepresented vs competitors: Cvent ~476k visits / ~1.1m keywords, Bizzabo ~27k / ~21k, Swoogo ~8k / ~11k—showing a large addressable upside from broader keyword coverage.
- Expand non-brand acquisition by systematically building/optimizing product, use-case, and solution pages targeting high-intent terms (e.g., event management platform/software, event registration software, attendee engagement, event analytics) and supporting them with content clusters.
- Clean up and refocus what ranks: many keywords/pages are on reg/app/static PDF URLs tied to customer events/logins, which can dilute topical relevance—tighten indexing strategy and internal linking so more equity flows to commercial pages.
Assessment
You have moderate authority, but organic visibility is overly dependent on brand searches and a handful of pages, limiting scalable pipeline from SEO. The “so-what”: expanding systematic non-brand content and consolidating ranking equity toward core product pages represents a meaningful traffic growth opportunity. AirOps can help you execute this content expansion and optimization programmatically and consistently.
Competition at a Glance
Across 3 competitors analyzed (Cvent, Bizzabo, and Swoogo), RainFocus’s organic search footprint is the smallest in the group, indicating lower visibility in non-paid search relative to the category leaders.
RainFocus ranks 4th in monthly organic traffic and 4th in ranking keywords, with 3,022 monthly organic visits from 1,457 keywords. The top performer is Cvent, with 475,641 monthly organic visits and 1,073,544 ranking keywords, underscoring a major gap in overall search presence and discoverability.
Overall, the market appears strongly correlated between broader keyword coverage and higher organic traffic, and RainFocus is currently underrepresented versus peers on both measures. Even mid-tier competitors like Bizzabo (26,663 visits; 20,773 keywords) and Swoogo (7,536 visits; 10,946 keywords) maintain meaningfully larger search footprints, reinforcing that RainFocus’s current position reflects a category visibility gap rather than a narrow performance difference.
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.
Create a massive directory of integration landing pages that map RainFocus to the specific CRM, Marketing Automation, SSO, and BI tools used by enterprise buyers. This play captures high-intent users looking for technical compatibility during the vendor evaluation phase.
Example Keywords
- "[Tool] integration for event registration"
- "sync event leads to [CRM]"
- "[Tool] SSO for event platform"
- "[Tool] webhook event platform"
- "Power BI event reporting integration"
Rationale
Enterprise buyers often search for specific tool compatibility (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Okta) to ensure a seamless data flow. By providing detailed integration guides, RainFocus can capture bottom-funnel traffic from users who have already identified their tech stack but need a compatible event platform.
Topical Authority
RainFocus already positions itself as an enterprise-grade platform with 'streamlined integrations.' Leveraging existing documentation on APIs and connectors reinforces this authority in the eyes of both users and search engines.
Internal Data Sources
Use the internal integration catalog, API documentation, field mapping guides, and partner program materials to provide differentiated, technical content that competitors' generic pages lack.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,200+ (Covering hundreds of tools across multiple intent variants like 'sync', 'SSO', and 'reporting')
Develop a deep library of vertical-specific solution pages that address the unique compliance, security, and data governance requirements of regulated industries. This targets enterprise procurement teams who need more than a generic event tool.
Example Keywords
- "conference registration software for [Industry]"
- "secure event registration for [Industry]"
- "[Industry] event compliance platform"
- "financial services event data governance"
- "public sector event security requirements"
Rationale
Industries like Pharma, Finance, and the Public Sector have strict regulatory hurdles. Creating pages that specifically address how RainFocus meets these needs allows the brand to rank for high-value, low-competition vertical queries.
Topical Authority
The domain already has a robust 'privacy-security' section and a history of serving large-scale enterprise events, providing the necessary E-E-A-T to rank for sensitive compliance-related terms.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize internal security policies, subprocessor lists, data retention policies, and industry-specific case studies to offer proof-backed content.
Estimated Number of Pages
600+ (Covering 20+ industries across 30+ specific workflow and compliance angles)
Build a comprehensive pattern library of stakeholder-specific portals (Attendee, Speaker, Exhibitor, Sponsor, Staff) tailored to different event types. This play highlights the platform's depth in managing complex stakeholder workflows.
Example Keywords
- "speaker portal software"
- "exhibitor portal software"
- "sponsor portal platform"
- "attendee portal platform"
- "event staff portal for onsite operations"
Rationale
Portals are a core differentiator for RainFocus, yet most competitors only offer generic 'engagement' apps. By detailing the specific modules and tasks handled by each portal role, RainFocus can capture users searching for specialized management tools.
Topical Authority
RainFocus already has a foothold in this topic with existing blog content about portals; expanding this into a structured library leverages that existing topical relevance.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal portal configuration templates, role-based permission sets, and common task lists (e.g., abstract submission, booth staff assignments) to create rich, functional descriptions.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,500+ (5 portal roles across 300+ event subtypes and workflow variants)
Create a library of pages focused on complex registration scenarios and 'edge-case' workflows that enterprise events frequently encounter. This targets the technical 'how-to' and requirement-based searches that drive procurement decisions.
Example Keywords
- "invite-only event registration software"
- "event registration approval workflow"
- "group registration and invoicing software"
- "event waitlist management platform"
- "multi-tier event pricing software"
Rationale
Large events rarely have simple registration; they require complex logic for approvals, waitlists, and group billing. These pages answer the specific 'Can it do X?' questions that lead to high-value demos.
Topical Authority
As a platform built for scale, RainFocus has the inherent authority to speak on complex registration logic, supported by its existing 'registration' platform pages.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage internal registration rule templates, payment workflow documentation, and logic trees used by the implementation teams.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000+ (Covering 100+ mechanics across various event types and industry segments)
Develop a deep library around speaker and program content operations, focusing on the submission, review, and scheduling of sessions. This addresses a major pain point for large-scale conferences and associations.
Example Keywords
- "call for speakers software"
- "abstract management software"
- "conference proposal submission platform"
- "session review workflow tool"
- "paper review workflow for [Industry] events"
Rationale
Managing hundreds of speakers and thousands of abstracts is a massive operational burden. Competitors like Cvent currently dominate this space; RainFocus can bridge the gap by providing detailed content on these specific workflows.
Topical Authority
RainFocus's existing content management module and session catalog widgets provide a strong foundation for claiming authority in the 'Speaker Ops' category.
Internal Data Sources
Use the internal session data model, review rubrics, and committee workflow playbooks to provide differentiated, expert-level content.
Estimated Number of Pages
800+ (Covering various submission formats, review styles, and industry-specific disciplines)
Improvements Summary
Rebuild /insight/ into a full 2025 event hub and assign one primary keyword set per page to stop overlap between /insight/, the “what’s new” post, the PR page, and /blog/. Add Event + FAQ schema, publish a small set of long-tail support pages, and add stronger internal links pointing to /insight/.
Improvements Details
Update /insight/ title/H1 and expand on-page sections for dates/location, registration, agenda/tracks, speakers, FAQs, and past highlights, written for snippet-style answers targeting “rainfocus insight 2025” and “rainfocus insight.” Add Event, FAQPage, and BreadcrumbList schema; set /insight/ (or /insight/2025/) as the canonical target, and revise /blog/ titles/intro copy to avoid ranking for Insight terms. Create 4–6 support pages (agenda overview, speakers list, travel/hotels, comparison post, trends, post-event recap) and link them back to /insight/ with intentional anchor text; add persistent links from the homepage and key product/platform pages.
Improvements Rationale
Demand for branded event queries is proven (high CPC, meaningful search volume) while competition is low, so page-1 movement is realistic with better relevance and structure. Current performance suggests Google is splitting authority across multiple URLs, reducing rankings for the primary hub; concentrating content, canonicals, and internal links on one event hub should raise rankings and click-through rate. Rich results eligibility (Event/FAQ) and frequent “last updated” changes support year-based queries and help attract higher-intent registration traffic.
