Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for ~10k organic keywords and drive ~32k monthly organic visits, worth ~$623k in equivalent ad spend—solid demand capture, but not yet scaled.
- Your authority score is 46, indicating a credible backlink profile (~332k backlinks from ~11k referring domains) that should support broader content expansion.
- Organic traffic is highly concentrated: the homepage generates ~27k visits (86%), largely from head terms like “reputation” (40.5k vol; ~17% of traffic) and “reputation management” (12.1k vol), with smaller contributions from resource articles (e.g., “how to write a great review,” Google reviews tactics).
Growth Opportunity
- You’re competitive in your tier (you’re #2 on traffic among peers), but the leader (Birdeye at ~194k visits) shows a large, addressable upside if you expand beyond a narrow keyword footprint.
- Traffic concentration on the homepage suggests you can unlock growth by building more non-brand landing pages (platform features, industries, integrations, comparisons) and scaling TOFU content around reviews, local SEO, listings, and reputation monitoring—where you already have early wins in the Resources hub.
- Clean up and consolidate duplicate URLs (e.g., the same article with/without trailing slash) and systematize internal linking from high-traffic guides to product/solution pages to improve conversions and distribute authority.
Assessment
You have a strong base (authority + backlinks) but your organic growth is capped by a small, brand-heavy traffic mix and over-reliance on the homepage. The competitive gap suggests meaningful upside if you invest in systematic content expansion and scalable page creation. AirOps can help you execute this programmatically to grow keyword coverage and diversify traffic beyond a handful of head terms.
Competition at a Glance
Analysis of 3 direct competitors (Birdeye, Yext, and SOCi) shows Reputation’s organic search presence sits in the middle of the pack overall, with performance split between traffic strength and keyword breadth.
Reputation.com ranks #2 in monthly organic traffic at 31,841 visits, but #3 in ranking keywords with 9,701 keywords. This places Reputation just ahead of Yext on traffic (30,655) while trailing SOCi on keyword count despite SOCi’s much lower traffic.
The market leader is Birdeye, generating 194,088 monthly organic visits and ranking for 1,776,125 keywords, creating a clear visibility gap driven by far broader top-of-funnel coverage. Overall, Reputation’s position is traffic-competitive with the second tier (notably Yext) but operates in a landscape where one competitor captures disproportionate demand, and where keyword footprint does not always translate into traffic (as seen with SOCi).
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 structured directory of landing pages targeting users of specific CRM, EHR, and PMS systems looking to integrate feedback workflows. This play captures high-intent traffic from enterprises seeking to connect their existing tech stack to a reputation management layer.
Example Keywords
- "Salesforce customer feedback integration"
- "Zendesk CSAT and NPS integration"
- "Epic patient experience survey connector"
- "Yardi resident feedback automation"
- "CDK Global dealership CX integration"
Rationale
Buyers often search for software based on its ability to integrate with their current ecosystem. By creating dedicated pages for every supported integration, reputation.com can capture long-tail, high-intent search queries that competitors like Birdeye currently dominate.
Topical Authority
Reputation.com already has high authority in the enterprise platform space (Authority Score 46). An integrations directory is a natural extension of its platform-centric sitemap and reinforces its position as a central hub for CX data.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage Reputation API documentation, internal field mapping guides, support knowledge base articles on connector setup, and customer success stories segmented by software stack.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,500 - 6,000+ (Covering hundreds of software systems across multiple workflow variants)
Develop programmatic solution pages that go deeper than broad industries, targeting specific sub-verticals and their desired business outcomes. These pages address the unique pain points of niche operators, such as urgent care clinics or student housing managers.
Example Keywords
- "patient experience software for urgent care"
- "dental patient feedback platforms"
- "resident satisfaction survey tools for student housing"
- "franchise customer experience management for retail"
- "multi-location social media tools for dealer groups"
Rationale
Generic industry pages often fail to address the specific operational needs of sub-verticals. Programmatic expansion into these niches allows for more relevant content that drives higher conversion rates from specialized buyers.
Topical Authority
The domain already ranks for broad industry terms like "healthcare" and "automotive." Expanding into sub-verticals leverages this existing topical authority to win more specific, less competitive long-tail queries.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal product feature matrices by vertical, sales enablement ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) definitions, and vertical-specific ROI narratives from the sales team.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000 - 12,000+ (Covering 200+ sub-verticals across 10+ outcome types)
Publish a massive library of anonymized, aggregated industry benchmarks for key CX metrics across different regions and business sizes. This creates a "data-first" destination for researchers and executives looking to compare their performance against peers.
Example Keywords
- "average star rating for healthcare in California"
- "automotive review response rate benchmark 2025"
- "NPS benchmarks for financial services"
- "average review volume for property management"
- "customer sentiment trends in retail by state"
Rationale
Proprietary data is a powerful magnet for organic traffic and backlinks. By systematizing platform data into a benchmark index, reputation.com creates a defensible content moat that competitors cannot easily replicate.
Topical Authority
As a platform that processes millions of reviews and surveys, reputation.com has the inherent right to publish these benchmarks. This play significantly expands topical authority into the "data and insights" category.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize aggregated and anonymized platform data including star ratings, review velocity, response times, sentiment themes, and survey KPIs (NPS/CSAT).
Estimated Number of Pages
50,000 - 300,000+ (Industry x Sub-industry x Region x Metric x Year combinations)
Create a comprehensive library of operational guides for managing business profiles on non-Google platforms like Glassdoor, Healthgrades, and TripAdvisor. These pages target the tactical needs of reputation managers across various ecosystems.
Example Keywords
- "how to respond to reviews on Glassdoor"
- "improve rating on Healthgrades for doctors"
- "TripAdvisor business profile optimization guide"
- "Zillow review management for property managers"
- "Indeed company page best practices"
Rationale
Many buyers begin their journey by trying to solve a problem on a specific platform. Providing the definitive "how-to" guide for every major review site positions reputation.com as the expert before the buyer even realizes they need enterprise software.
Topical Authority
Reputation.com's existing success with educational articles (e.g., "how to write a review") proves that Google trusts the domain for tactical CX advice. This play scales that trust across the entire publisher ecosystem.
Internal Data Sources
Reference the internal "supported publishers" list, API connection requirements, and support knowledge base patterns regarding common profile management issues.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000 - 20,000+ (Covering 150+ platforms across multiple management actions and vertical overlays)
Build a programmatic library focused on local citation sites and directory governance for multi-location brands. This play targets the foundational need for data consistency across the web, a key component of local SEO.
Example Keywords
- "local citation sites for California businesses"
- "top business directory list for UK healthcare"
- "NAP consistency checklist for multi-location brands"
- "business listing sites for automotive dealers"
- "local presence management audit template"
Rationale
Multi-location operators frequently search for directory lists and citation checklists when preparing for a listings cleanup. This play captures these users at the exact moment they are identifying a need for automated listings management.
Topical Authority
The domain already has a product for "Business Listings" and ranks for related terms like "service area business." This library solidifies its authority in the local search and presence management space.
Internal Data Sources
Use the internal publisher network coverage list, location data model best practices, and real-world error taxonomies from the listings support team.
Estimated Number of Pages
5,000 - 80,000+ (Geographic regions x Industries x Directory sets)
Improvements Summary
Expand each Resources article from 1–3 tracked terms into a full query set, then rewrite pages into clear “how-to,” checklist, and template formats aimed at Featured Snippets and PAA. Add FAQ/HowTo schema, original templates/visuals, and product-aligned CTAs to route readers into Reviews, Listings, Social Suite, Insights, Inbox, and Location Pages.
Improvements Details
Rework /get-more-google-reviews-fast-with-review-booster/ around “how to increase google reviews” plus “get more google reviews,” “google review request sms/email templates,” “google review link/QR code,” and add a step-by-step workflow, compliance section, TOC, and 8–12 FAQs with schema. Upgrade /spot-fake-reviews-how-to/ with a detection checklist, real vs fake examples, and a report/respond decision tree targeting “how to spot fake reviews” and “report fake google review,” and convert /what-is-crisis-management/ into a 24-hour playbook with comms templates and a downloadable checklist for lead capture. Create 2–3 resource hubs (Google Reviews, Reputation Protection, Local SEO) and add contextual internal links from high-authority product pages to these articles with descriptive anchors, then publish 6–10 supporting posts (review templates, negative review responses, policy rules, reporting steps, multi-location local SEO checklist) that cross-link back to the core pages.
Improvements Rationale
These URLs show low traffic share and page-2 visibility, often because they cover too few related queries and lack snippet-ready formatting. Adding deeper how-to structure, schema, and tightly themed internal linking concentrates internal authority and increases chances of winning long-tail rankings, PAA placements, and Featured Snippets. Product-aligned CTAs and hub architecture also improve assisted conversions by moving readers from informational intent into relevant product pages without turning articles into sales pages.
