Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You drive about 37k monthly organic visits from roughly 15k ranking keywords (≈ $46k in equivalent traffic value).
- Your backlink profile is solid mid-tier with an Authority Score of 45 supported by ~89k backlinks from ~4k referring domains, indicating credible authority but not category-dominant strength.
- Organic traffic is heavily concentrated in “free tools” pages—e.g., /hex-to-decimal-converter (~6k visits, 18% of traffic), /decimal-to-hex-converter (~3k), and /hex-to-text-converter (~2k); top queries include “xml formatter”, “hex to decimal”, and “yaml validator” (high-volume, utility-driven searches).
Growth Opportunity
- You have a clear visibility gap vs. the leading competitor (HashiCorp) at ~120k organic visits and ~71k keywords (≈ 3× your traffic and 5× your keyword footprint), suggesting substantial addressable search demand you’re not capturing yet.
- Your highest-traffic URLs skew toward generic conversion/validator tools, so there’s opportunity to systematically grow product-aligned intent via use cases, integrations, comparisons, and “how-to” content that ties “Teleport” to zero-trust access, infrastructure identity, and privileged access workflows.
- Expand the winning template: create more tool pages + supporting explainer content (and selective localization, as seen in “decimal en hexadecimal”/Spanish variants) to broaden keyword coverage while strengthening internal linking to core commercial pages (pricing, platform, integrations).
Assessment
You have a strong base of non-brand, utility SEO performance, but much of it sits outside your core product narrative—meaning you’re leaving high-intent category demand on the table. The data points to a meaningful upside from expanding keyword coverage and converting tool traffic into product discovery. AirOps can help you scale this content program systematically to close the competitor gap.
Competition at a Glance
This analysis reviews 2 direct competitors—StrongDM and HashiCorp Boundary—against Teleport (goteleport.com) in organic search visibility. Teleport currently drives 36,720 monthly organic visits from 15,472 ranking keywords.
Among the three sites compared, goteleport.com ranks 3rd in organic search traffic and 3rd in ranking keywords. The top-performing competitor is hashicorp.com, with 120,061 monthly organic visits and 71,328 ranking keywords, giving it roughly 3.3× Teleport’s traffic and 4.6× its keyword footprint.
Overall market visibility is concentrated with competitors: Teleport accounts for only about 17% of total organic traffic and 13% of total ranking keywords in this set, indicating a clear coverage gap versus larger players. At the same time, Teleport’s current pages are comparatively efficient at turning rankings into visits (higher visits per keyword than both competitors), suggesting the main constraint is total reach/visibility, not performance of the existing footprint.

A programmatic atlas that turns cloud IAM from an opaque blob into searchable “permission primitives” with security guidance and an implementation path using Teleport. Each page covers a specific cloud action or role, explaining its blast radius and how to secure it with time-bound access.
Example Keywords
- "iam:PassRole least privilege"
- "Azure Owner vs Contributor security"
- "GCP predefined role roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator risk"
- "time-bound admin access AWS"
Rationale
Cloud engineers and security teams constantly search for specific IAM permissions to understand risks. By providing the most comprehensive guide to these primitives, Teleport can capture high-volume technical traffic and redirect it to their access solutions.
Topical Authority
Teleport's existing technical docs (970+ pages) and proven success with developer utility tools (17.5% of traffic) give it the credibility to rank for deep infrastructure permissions.
Internal Data Sources
Use Teleport documentation on identity governance, access requests, and audit logging, combined with live SERP data for cloud IAM demand.
Estimated Number of Pages
200,000+ (Covering AWS, Azure, and GCP actions, roles, and policies)
A comprehensive library mapping specific compliance control requirements to concrete technical implementations and evidence artifacts. These pages help security teams understand exactly how to meet framework standards like SOC 2 or ISO 27001 using Teleport's features.
Example Keywords
- "ISO 27001 access logging"
- "SOC 2 privileged access requirements"
- "NIST 800-53 MFA for administrative access"
- "DORA compliance access control"
Rationale
Compliance is a primary driver for purchasing Teleport. Targeting specific control-level queries captures buyers exactly when they are identifying gaps in their security posture.
Topical Authority
The domain already has established use-case pages for ISO 27001 and DORA, plus a Trust Center that provides first-party evidence of control implementation.
Internal Data Sources
Trust Center controls, compliance whitepapers, and product documentation for audit logging and access requests.
Estimated Number of Pages
40,000+ (10 frameworks across hundreds of controls and environment variants)
Programmatic integration pages that answer how to implement secure, audited, least-privilege access to thousands of specific tools, databases, and applications. This play expands the current 113 integrations into a massive directory covering the entire modern infrastructure stack.
Example Keywords
- "PostgreSQL session recording"
- "Kubernetes just in time access"
- "Snowflake access audit logging"
- "MongoDB privileged access management"
Rationale
Users search for security solutions specific to the tools they already use. Scaling these pages allows Teleport to appear in every "how to secure [Tool]" search journey.
Topical Authority
Teleport already maintains a large integrations section and technical docs, signaling strong product depth to search engines.
Internal Data Sources
Integration docs, reference architectures, and changelog snippets relevant to specific product support.
Estimated Number of Pages
25,000+ (2,500 target products across 10 high-intent subpage types)
A massive directory of pages that mirror real audit evidence requests and show exactly how to satisfy them with Teleport. Each page provides the specific logs, reports, and artifacts needed to prove compliance to an auditor.
Example Keywords
- "SOC 2 evidence for privileged access approvals"
- "audit evidence interactive logins"
- "how to show auditor admin activity logs"
- "evidence for just-in-time admin access"
Rationale
The "how to pass the audit" intent is extremely high-value. Providing the actual "evidence packets" positions Teleport as the essential tool for compliance automation.
Topical Authority
The domain's Trust Center and existing success with utility-style tools (like hex converters) prove it can rank for structured, technical "how-to" content.
Internal Data Sources
Trust Center controls, audit event schemas from docs, and pricing guide PDFs for feature availability.
Estimated Number of Pages
60,000+ (10 frameworks across 300 evidence types and 20 environment variants)
A programmatic detection and investigation library that maps suspicious access patterns to exact SIEM queries and triage runbooks. This operational content provides immediate value to security analysts using Splunk, Sentinel, or Datadog.
Example Keywords
- "Splunk query privileged access anomaly"
- "KQL detect suspicious admin login"
- "SIEM detection for privilege escalation"
- "detect lateral movement via admin sessions"
Rationale
Security analysts search for copy-paste queries to solve immediate investigation needs. This play builds authority in the "Identity Threat Detection and Response" (ITDR) category.
Topical Authority
Teleport's sitemap already includes "investigation" and "identity security" themes, providing a strong topical foothold for technical detection content.
Internal Data Sources
Audit event schemas, product docs for governance, and changelog field mappings.
Estimated Number of Pages
30,000+ (500 patterns across 6 SIEMs and 10 environment variants)
Improvements Summary
Roll out a consistent SEO template across Teleport’s tool pages with exact-match titles/H1s, 80–120 words of above-the-fold copy, and 600–1,200+ words of crawlable sections (use cases, examples, FAQ, troubleshooting) beneath the UI. Add a /resources/tools/ hub plus “Related tools” and related reading modules on every tool page, then publish 2–4 supporting articles that link back to the highest-demand tools.
Improvements Details
Prioritize /resources/tools/sql-validator/ (target: "sql query validator", "sql query syntax checker", "validate sql syntax") by adding dialect notes, copy-pastable example queries, common error scenarios, and a clear privacy statement, then add FAQPage + WebApplication schema. Expand /resources/tools/unix-timestamp-converter/ (target: "unixtime to date", "unix timestamp to date", "epoch converter") with seconds vs milliseconds tabs, UTC vs local handling, ISO output, a “now” button, and language snippets (JS/Python/Go). For smaller converters (base64 to hex, hex to decimal, unicode escape, text to binary, gzip compress), add pitfalls sections (0x prefixes, UTF-8/UTF-16, casing) and wire strong internal links via the hub and sibling-tool modules; ship server-rendered explanatory text and tighten Core Web Vitals (especially INP).
Improvements Rationale
These pages compete on exact on-page relevance, CTR, and how well Google can index text beyond the interactive UI; adding server-rendered copy, examples, and schema improves ranking confidence and can expand SERP real estate. SQL Validator has the largest demand (1,740 total volume) with relatively low competition, so improving topical match and depth is likely to move it from page 2 to page 1. A hub-and-spoke internal linking structure reduces orphaned tools, improves crawl paths, and passes authority across the cluster while keeping utility-first intent intact with light product CTAs.
