Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 724k organic keywords and drive about 523k monthly organic visits (≈ $442k/mo in equivalent PPC value), with minimal reliance on paid search (~4k paid visits from 142 ads keywords).
- Your Authority Score is 58, supported by ~153k backlinks from 8.6k referring domains—a strong foundation for scaling content and maintaining rankings in a competitive career-tools space.
- Traffic is powered by a mix of brand and long-tail content: top queries include “teal” (246k volume) plus product terms like “ai resume builder” (40.5k) and massive generic categories like “resume builder” (301k) / “resume templates” (550k), while top pages are largely informational/programmatic (e.g., /resume-synonyms/ pages like “develop/doing/enhance” and posts like two-weeks notice letter), with the homepage at ~20k visits.
Growth Opportunity
- Your footprint is huge, but traffic-per-keyword appears diluted vs. competitors—there’s clear upside in improving rankings and CTR on high-intent generics (e.g., resume builder, resume templates, resume examples) and converting that demand into tool signups.
- Double down on what’s already working: systematically expand and refresh programmatic clusters (resume synonyms, skills, job titles, cover letters, certifications/education) and tighten internal linking from high-traffic info pages into /tools/resume-builder and /tools/job-tracker.
- Increase share on “AI” intent where you already show traction (e.g., free ai resume builder, ai cover letter generator) with comparison pages, templates, and “best X” roundups that map directly to your product features.
Assessment
You’re already the category visibility leader (523k visits, 724k keywords) with enough authority (58) to scale further. The “so what” is that your biggest win is turning broad long-tail coverage into more proportional traffic and more bottom-funnel tool acquisition. AirOps can help you operationalize this with systematic content expansion, refreshes, and internal-linking at scale.
Competition at a Glance
This analysis covers 2 direct competitors to tealhq.com: jobscan.co and rezi.ai. Across this set, tealhq.com ranks #1 in both monthly organic search traffic and ranking keywords, indicating the strongest overall organic visibility footprint.
Among competitors, Jobscan is the top performer, generating 149,439 monthly organic visits and ranking for 94,894 keywords. By comparison, tealhq.com drives 522,779 monthly organic visits from 723,851 keywords, giving Teal a materially larger presence in search than the nearest rival.
Market position-wise, Teal is winning on breadth and total visibility, while competitors appear more traffic-efficient (they generate more visits per ranking keyword). This frames Teal as the clear category leader by coverage, with the primary gap being how effectively that large keyword footprint translates into proportional organic visit volume versus smaller, more concentrated competitor footprints.

A massive library of programmatic pages providing role-specific ATS keyword lists and achievement-oriented bullet rewrites. These pages help job seekers instantly tailor their resumes to pass automated screening filters for thousands of specific job titles.
Example Keywords
- "ATS keywords for [job title] resume"
- "resume keywords for [job title]"
- "[job title] skills for resume ATS"
- "best keywords for [job title] resume"
Rationale
While Teal ranks for general resume terms, there is a significant gap in long-tail coverage for role-specific ATS optimization. These high-intent pages drive users directly into Teal’s resume builder and matching tools.
Topical Authority
Teal already dominates the resume-synonyms cluster; expanding into ATS-specific role keywords is a natural extension of this existing topical trust.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage Teal’s job board corpus of 4,600+ active listings to extract real-world skill frequency and Teal’s resume builder patterns for successful bullet structures.
Estimated Number of Pages
25,000+ (Covering 5,000 job titles across multiple seniority levels)
High-intent landing pages targeting specific employer-role combinations, offering tailored resume keywords, cover letter talking points, and interview stage insights. These playbooks guide candidates through the specific nuances of applying to top-tier companies.
Example Keywords
- "how to get a job at [Company] as a [Role]"
- "[Company] [Role] interview process"
- "[Company] resume keywords"
- "[Company] cover letter tips"
Rationale
Job seekers often search for company-specific guidance which has extremely high conversion potential. This strategy captures users at the exact moment they are preparing an application for a specific target.
Topical Authority
Teal’s existing job tracker and job board infrastructure provide the necessary context to be viewed as a legitimate authority on application workflows.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize Teal’s job board feed for historical requirement snapshots and anonymized job tracker data for application benchmarks and follow-up cadences.
Estimated Number of Pages
50,000+ (Targeting 10,000 companies across their most frequent job openings)
A comprehensive matrix of pages designed for career changers, mapping skill overlaps and providing "translation" guides for experience. Each page helps a user from one profession rebrand their existing achievements for a new target role.
Example Keywords
- "how to transition from [Role A] to [Role B]"
- "career change from [Role A] to [Role B]"
- "[Role A] to [Role B] transferable skills"
- "[Role A] to [Role B] resume summary"
Rationale
Career transitions are underserved in search, and these "A to B" queries represent a massive, untapped matrix of high-intent traffic. This play leverages Teal's ability to handle complex, structured career data.
Topical Authority
Teal has established trust in career guidance but currently lacks scale in its "career-paths" and "how-to-become" sections; this play fills that gap.
Internal Data Sources
Use Teal’s job board corpus to compute skill frequency deltas and anonymized resume builder edits to identify successful pivot patterns.
Estimated Number of Pages
150,000+ (Covering a matrix of common role transitions)
A deep library of evidence-backed resume bullets for specific tools and skills, categorized by role and seniority. These pages provide users with the exact language needed to prove their proficiency in a tool rather than just listing it.
Example Keywords
- "how to list [Tool] on a resume"
- "[Tool] resume bullet points"
- "[Tool] experience examples"
- "projects to demonstrate [Skill]"
Rationale
This is the logical evolution of Teal's successful synonym pages, moving from simple word swaps to complex, evidence-based achievement statements. It targets users looking for high-quality, credible resume content.
Topical Authority
Teal’s current dominance in resume language primitives makes it the ideal domain to host a more advanced library of tool-specific evidence.
Internal Data Sources
Extract tool-context pairings from Teal’s job postings and use successful bullet patterns from the resume builder corpus.
Estimated Number of Pages
200,000+ (Covering thousands of tools across various professional contexts)
A directory of copy-paste Boolean and X-ray search strings that help job seekers find hidden roles on LinkedIn, Google, and major ATS platforms. These pages provide operational utility that helps users bypass traditional job board limitations.
Example Keywords
- "boolean search for [Job Title]"
- "LinkedIn boolean search string [Job Title]"
- "x-ray search [Job Title] greenhouse"
- "site:workdayjobs.com [Job Title] search string"
Rationale
This play provides immediate, actionable value to job seekers, positioning Teal as a technical partner in their search. It drives high engagement and direct usage of the Teal Job Tracker.
Topical Authority
Teal’s positioning as a career tool platform makes it a credible source for technical job-search hacks and operational efficiency guides.
Internal Data Sources
Use Teal’s job board title variants to power synonym expansions and job tracker taxonomy to categorize search strings by role family.
Estimated Number of Pages
50,000+ (Covering job titles across all major application platforms)
Improvements Summary
Standardize role-specific cover letter example pages with copy-ready templates above the fold, 2–3 labeled examples per role, role-specific guidance (skills, ATS terms, quantified wins), and an FAQ block with schema. Build a hub-and-spoke internal linking model and fix URL taxonomy (/cover-letter-example/ vs /cover-letter-examples/) to reduce cannibalization and concentrate authority.
Improvements Details
Prioritize high-volume pages (e.g., "hr cover letter", "artist cover letter", "graphic designer cover letter", "nursing assistant cover letter", "cover letter for social media manager", "consulting cover letter example") by rewriting Title/H1/H2s to match primary intent, adding copy/download buttons (Doc/Word), and placing a full 6–10 line example immediately after the intro. Add three variants per page (entry-level/no experience, mid-level, career change/promotion), plus sections for role keywords/ATS terms, top skills, common mistakes, and PAA-style FAQs with FAQPage + BreadcrumbList schema; then publish a /cover-letter-examples hub, experience-level hubs (no experience, career change), and industry hubs with consistent internal anchors and CTAs to Teal tools.
Improvements Rationale
Most target keywords show near-zero traffic share, suggesting rankings around page 2/3 where stronger on-page relevance and richer template content can move pages to page 1, especially given low-to-moderate competition. Consolidating taxonomy and adding hub-to-spoke links improves topical authority and clarifies which page owns each primary intent, while copy-first templates plus contextual CTAs increase sign-ups without hurting the template intent that drives clicks.
