Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 21k organic keywords and drive about 16k/month in organic traffic (≈ $84k in equivalent ad value), but you’re still #3 of 3 vs Cvent and Bizzabo on traffic.
- Authority Score is 48, supported by a large link footprint (1.1m backlinks from 13k referring domains), indicating solid domain trust but not category-leading authority.
- Traffic is split between brand + event properties: top keywords include “vfairs” and “vfairs login”, plus event-specific queries (e.g., “virtual careers expo”), while top pages are the homepage, high-performing blog posts (e.g., types of exhibits, event check-in, event trends), and product pages like /virtual-trade-show/.
Growth Opportunity
- The category headroom is massive: Cvent captures ~485k/month organic visits (vs your 16k) and ~1m ranking keywords—proof that much more demand can be captured in this space.
- You have traction in TOFU content (blogs/guides), so you can systematically expand into higher-intent, product-led queries (e.g., virtual trade show platform, virtual job fair platform, hybrid events) with tighter internal linking to pricing and core solution pages.
- A meaningful share of visibility sits on event subdomains (Sproutscon, PA EMS, Cleveland Clinic portals, etc.); standardizing templates, improving indexation/internal linking, and building reusable “event SEO” playbooks can turn one-off pages into repeatable traffic growth.
Assessment
You have a credible SEO foundation (keyword breadth + links), but you’re underperforming on traffic relative to the market size. The “so-what”: you can grow significantly by scaling non-branded, commercial-intent content and strengthening conversion paths from blog/guides to product pages. AirOps can help you operationalize this content expansion systematically and close the gap with larger competitors.
Competition at a Glance
Across 2 direct competitors (Cvent and Bizzabo), vFairs’ organic search presence is mid-to-lower in traffic but relatively stronger in keyword breadth for its size. vFairs currently generates 16,200 monthly organic visits from 20,754 ranking keywords.
In this set, vfairs.com ranks #3 of 3 in organic traffic and #2 of 3 in ranking keywords. This places vFairs behind both competitors on visits, but ahead of Bizzabo on total keyword coverage.
The clear market leader is Cvent, with 484,703 monthly organic visits and 1,029,637 ranking keywords, representing a dominant share of search visibility versus vFairs. Overall, vFairs’ market position looks much closer to Bizzabo (similar keyword footprint with a modest traffic gap) than to Cvent, where the gap is defined by vastly greater reach and coverage.

Example Keywords
- annual meeting software for associations

Rationale
Buyers rarely search for a generic platform; they search for solutions that fit their specific industry constraints and event types. This strategy captures long-tail, high-conversion traffic that is currently underserved by vFairs' broad marketing.
Topical Authority
vFairs already ranks for broad event management terms and hosts thousands of specialized events on its subdomains, providing a strong foundation to claim vertical expertise.
Internal Data Sources

Estimated Number of Pages
1,200+ (Covering 40+ industries across 10+ event formats and 3 buyer intent angles)
This play builds a comprehensive directory of integration pages and setup guides for every tool in a modern marketing and HR tech stack. It targets technical buyers and operations leads who need to ensure vFairs fits into their existing Salesforce, HubSpot, or Workday environments.
Example Keywords
- event platform Salesforce integration
- HubSpot event registration sync
- Okta SSO for event software
- Marketo event integration guide
- Greenhouse ATS recruiting event sync
Rationale
Integration compatibility is a primary 'deal-breaker' for enterprise procurement. Owning these keywords allows vFairs to enter the consideration set during the technical evaluation phase.
Topical Authority
The presence of a developer portal and API documentation on the vFairs domain signals to search engines that the site is a technical authority on software connectivity.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage existing API documentation, technical integration logs, and implementation playbooks from the customer success team to provide accurate, step-by-step details.
Estimated Number of Pages
800+ (Covering 200+ software tools with both commercial and technical setup variants)
This strategy focuses on creating 'procurement-ready' assets like RFP templates, vendor scorecards, and requirement checklists. These pages target buyers who are actively in the process of selecting a vendor and need structured tools to facilitate their decision.
Example Keywords
- event management software RFP template
- virtual event platform vendor scorecard
- requirements for sponsor management software
- event mobile app RFP checklist
- how to evaluate event software vendors
Rationale
Providing utility-based content like templates builds immediate trust with buyers and ensures vFairs is the 'standard' against which other competitors are measured.
Topical Authority
vFairs' high Authority Score and existing operational blog content make it a credible source for professional event planning and procurement standards.
Internal Data Sources
Use redacted sales proposals, internal qualification checklists, and feature-to-value mapping documents to create highly realistic and useful templates.
Estimated Number of Pages
600+ (Covering various event formats, stakeholder lenses, and procurement stages)
This play targets the operational side of in-person and hybrid events, focusing on badge printing, check-in hardware, and onsite registration workflows. It captures event organizers moving back to physical venues who need robust software-hardware coordination.
Example Keywords
- conference badge printing software
- self check-in kiosk for events
- onsite registration system for trade shows
- QR code badge scanning app
- event badge printer hardware compatibility
Rationale
vFairs already sees significant traffic for 'event check-in' blog content; this play converts that informational interest into commercial intent by showcasing specific onsite capabilities.
Topical Authority
Existing high-ranking blog posts on event check-in prove that Google already views vFairs as a leader in event day operations and logistics.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize onsite runbooks, hardware compatibility lists, and anonymized throughput benchmarks from the implementation team to provide deep operational value.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000+ (Covering various attendee volumes, hardware setups, and event types)
This play creates landing pages tailored to specific job titles and their unique KPIs, such as Field Marketing Managers or Talent Acquisition Leads. By speaking the language of the individual buyer, vFairs can increase conversion rates and relevance in search.
Example Keywords
- event platform for field marketing managers
- event software for talent acquisition teams
- event platform for association membership leads
- event software for demand generation
- event platform for internal communications
Rationale
Buying committees are made of individuals with different goals; a VP of Marketing cares about pipeline, while an HR lead cares about candidate experience. These pages address those specific needs.
Topical Authority
vFairs' broad keyword footprint and existing solution pages for field marketing provide the necessary context to expand into a full persona-based architecture.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate LinkedIn persona data, sales call transcripts categorized by role, and internal KPI-to-feature mapping sheets to ensure the content resonates with each title.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000+ (Covering 60+ job titles across various industries and team sizes)
Improvements Summary
Rework the /virtual-trade-show/ pillar page to match commercial “platform/software” intent with new H2 sections (features, booths, lead capture, analytics, pricing, FAQs), comparison elements, case studies, and SoftwareApplication + FAQPage schema. Expand supporting pages (guide + booth posts) to cover definitions, how-to, examples, checklists, and route users and internal authority back to the pillar via hub-and-spoke internal linking.
Improvements Details
Map priority keywords like "virtual trade show platform", "virtual tradeshow software", and "virtual trade show platforms" to /event-management-platform/virtual-trade-show/ with a keyword-first H1, above-the-fold demo/pricing CTAs, a capability comparison table, and 6–10 FAQs. Upgrade /guides/what-are-virtual-trade-shows/ with new sections (types, virtual vs hybrid/conference/webinar, how to run one, metrics) plus a mid-article CTA linking to the product page; rename and expand the booth examples post with 6–10 visual booth layouts and a "build these in vFairs" section. Fix /blog/virtual-exhibit-booth/ by retargeting it to "virtual exhibit booth" intent (not "stand designers"), add cross-links to booth examples and the product page, and publish new long-tail assets (best platforms 2026, hosting timeline/budget, checklist PDF, pricing explainer, ROI metrics) tied together via a "Virtual Trade Shows" hub module.
Improvements Rationale
Head terms like "virtual trade show" are highly competitive, so the fastest page-1 gains come from low-competition commercial variants plus better intent matching on the pillar page. A complete, tightly interlinked cluster (platform + definition + examples + checklist + pricing + ROI) increases topical authority and sends clearer internal signals to the money page while improving user paths from informational posts into demos and pricing research.
