Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 7k organic keywords and drive ~4k/mo organic visits (traffic value ~$10k), but much of it is concentrated in a handful of URLs.
- Your authority is mid-tier (Authority Score 44) with a strong link footprint (~730k backlinks from ~11k referring domains), suggesting you have enough baseline trust to scale non-brand rankings.
- Traffic is led by brand and a few evergreen blog posts: /blog/event-sponsorship (~14%), homepage (~14%), /login (~11%), and /blog/run-of-show (~6%); top keywords include “swap card”, “swapcard login”, and “swapcard app.”
Growth Opportunity
- You’re significantly underrepresented vs the category leader: Cvent ~484k/mo organic visits and ~1.0m keywords vs your 4k/mo and 7k—a clear indicator of large, addressable demand you’re not capturing.
- Expand systematic, non-brand acquisition around high-intent topics (event management platform, registration, onsite check-in, mobile event app, exhibitor lead capture, event analytics, integrations) building on what already works (sponsorship/ROI/run-of-show content).
- Clean up or better control indexing for app.swapcard.com event/product pages that attract irrelevant queries (e.g., “x ideo,” “id me shop,” “gtl command”) so crawl equity flows to core commercial and educational pages.
Assessment
You have a credible authority base and some proven content winners, but organic visibility is small and overly reliant on brand + a few posts. The competitive gap suggests meaningful upside if you invest in systematic content and SEO-driven page development across product/solution categories. AirOps can help you scale that programmatically and consistently to close the keyword and traffic gap.
Competition at a Glance
This analysis compares Swapcard against 2 direct competitors (Cvent and Bizzabo) to assess organic search visibility, using monthly organic visits and the number of ranking keywords as indicators of market reach.
Across these three domains, swapcard.com ranks 3rd in organic search traffic and 3rd in ranking keywords, generating 4,275 monthly organic visits from 7,281 keywords. The performance leaders are ahead largely due to substantially broader keyword coverage, which correlates strongly with higher traffic capture.
Cvent is the top-performing competitor, with 483,746 monthly organic visits and 1,012,786 ranking keywords, creating a major visibility gap versus Swapcard. Overall, the market landscape suggests Swapcard is currently underrepresented in organic discovery relative to the category leaders, while still maintaining a clear advantage over smaller players in the space.

Example Keywords

Rationale
Buyers often search for software based on its ability to integrate with their current stack. By providing deep, technical landing pages for hundreds of tools, Swapcard can capture high-intent traffic from RevOps and Marketing leaders.
Topical Authority
Swapcard already has a dedicated integrations section in its sitemap with ~55 pages, providing a strong foundation. Its high Authority Score (44) and existing technical documentation make it a credible source for integration workflows.
Internal Data Sources

Estimated Number of Pages
1,500+ (Covering 150+ tools across 10+ specific use-cases per tool)
Develop a comprehensive matrix of vertical-specific landing pages that address the unique challenges of different industries hosting various event types. This expands Swapcard's reach into underserved long-tail queries for niche professional gatherings.
Example Keywords
- [Industry] conference management software
- [Industry] trade show platform
- [Industry] exhibitor management system
- software for [Industry] networking events
- [Industry] association event registration
Rationale
Decision-makers search for solutions tailored to their specific field (e.g., 'medical conference software' vs 'tech trade show platform'). Scaling these combinations allows Swapcard to appear as a specialized provider for every major vertical.
Topical Authority
The domain already features a 'Solutions' pillar with 18 pages covering broad categories like healthcare and nonprofits. Expanding this into hundreds of industry-format pairs leverages existing topical relevance.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize the 32+ customer success stories in the sitemap, industry-specific reports from the resources section, and vertical-specific feature highlights from product documentation.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000+ (Covering 200+ industries across 10+ event formats)
Generate a library of procurement-focused resources including RFP templates, vendor evaluation scorecards, and requirement checklists. These pages target buyers in the final evaluation stage of the sales cycle.
Example Keywords
- event management software RFP template
- conference app requirements checklist
- event platform vendor evaluation scorecard

Rationale
Procurement teams and event directors search for templates to standardize their buying process. Providing these high-utility assets allows Swapcard to insert its value proposition directly into the buyer's evaluation criteria.
Topical Authority
Swapcard’s extensive Legal Center (18 pages) and Help Center (200+ articles) provide the necessary 'proof' and technical specifications required to build credible procurement content.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal RFP response databases, security and compliance documentation, feature specification sheets, and implementation runbooks to offer differentiated, expert-level templates.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000+ (Covering various event scales, industries, and specific feature-set requirements)
Create a programmatic library of every possible sponsorship asset an organizer can sell, including pricing guidance and ROI metrics. This targets the 'Revenue-first' positioning that Swapcard emphasizes in its brand messaging.
Example Keywords
- conference sponsorship packages template
- event app banner ad specs
- sponsored push notification pricing
- trade show sponsorship rate card
- sponsored session package examples
Rationale
Organizers are constantly looking for new ways to monetize their events. Since Swapcard's top-performing organic page is already about event sponsorship, scaling this into asset-level detail will capture massive incremental traffic.
Topical Authority
The blog post '/blog/event-sponsorship' currently drives 13.82% of tracked organic traffic, proving that Google already views Swapcard as an authority on event monetization.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage product specs for ad placements, analytics KPI definitions from the platform, and Getty Images integration for visual mockups of sponsorship placements.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,500+ (Covering 100+ assets across various event formats and audience sizes)
Build a massive collection of registration form 'recipes' including question banks and conditional logic patterns for every type of event attendee. This targets operational users during the setup phase of their event.
Example Keywords
- event registration form questions template
- speaker application form fields
- conditional logic examples for event forms
- VIP registration form questions
- exhibitor sign-up form template
Rationale
Event planners frequently search for best practices on what questions to ask and how to structure logic. These pages provide immediate utility while showcasing Swapcard's registration and conditional logic features.
Topical Authority
Swapcard has specific release notes and help articles dedicated to registration and conditional logic, establishing a clear technical foundation for this operational expertise.

Estimated Number of Pages
2,000+ (Covering 200+ scenarios across 10+ attendee roles)
Improvements Summary
Rework six core feature/product pages to match non-branded, high-intent queries with intent-led above-the-fold copy, comparison content, event-type use cases, FAQ sections, and proof blocks (case metrics + screenshots). Publish 6–10 supporting articles and templates that link into these pages, tighten internal linking sitewide, and clean up indexation issues from thin app.swapcard.com URLs while fixing pricing page cannibalization.
Improvements Details
Create a keyword-to-URL map and rewrite title tags/H1s plus opening definitions to target terms like "event analytics platform", "event community platform", "hosted buyer platform", "attendee networking", and "exhibitor software"; add "How Swapcard compares", "Use cases by event type", and 6–10 FAQs per page with FAQ schema. Add 2–4 mini case snapshots and annotated screenshots per page, then publish support pieces (KPIs for event ROI, hosted buyer playbook, exhibitor checklist, conference app vs event platform) with exact/partial-match anchors pointing to the six pages and a gated asset per theme. Audit app.swapcard.com and apply noindex to thin/UGC-like URLs, moderate spam-prone fields, consolidate /pricing vs /pricing-plans via canonical + 301, and add Product/SoftwareApplication schema where applicable.
Improvements Rationale
Current performance is masked by branded queries, while high-value non-branded terms show low traffic share despite low competition on several targets, so tighter intent matching and richer on-page sections can raise relevance and click-through rate. Index bloat from thin app.swapcard.com pages draws crawls and rankings toward irrelevant queries, which can dilute topical focus and create brand risk. Stronger internal linking plus supporting content helps the priority pages compete for page-1 placements on commercial terms and drive more qualified organic demo traffic.
