Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for 108k organic keywords and drive 661k monthly organic visits (≈ $3.3m in equivalent ad value), supported by an Authority Score of 60 (strong, credible link equity).
- Organic traffic is extremely concentrated: the “home office setup/equipment” page drives ~455k visits (69%), largely from the head term “remote work setup”.
- Beyond that outlier, performance is split across brand + informational PM content (e.g., “wrike”, “wrike login”, “agile methodology”, “project planning templates”, “team collaboration tools”) with top pages in guides/FAQs and the blog.
Growth Opportunity
- Your biggest risk is dependence on a single informational topic; expanding and refreshing adjacent clusters (remote work, collaboration, productivity, templates) can reduce volatility while keeping TOFU scale.
- Competitors show clear headroom: Smartsheet gets ~902k visits and ranks for ~306k keywords, implying you can grow by systematically expanding keyword breadth (especially “alternatives,” “software,” “tools,” and template-led queries).
- You have the backlink foundation (~26k referring domains) to push more commercial intent pages (pricing, comparisons, use cases, integrations) and better interlink high-traffic guides into product/CTA paths.
Assessment
You have strong authority and meaningful organic scale, but it’s heavily reliant on one page/keyword, leaving you exposed and under-indexed on broader category terms. The category leader’s keyword footprint signals a large, addressable opportunity if you invest in systematic content expansion and tighter TOFU→BOFU routing. AirOps can help you operationalize this at scale and turn more of your existing visibility into durable, diversified growth.
Competition at a Glance
Analysis of 3 competitors (Asana, Monday.com, and Smartsheet) shows Wrike competing in a crowded project/work management search landscape with meaningful differences in visibility and content footprint across the set.
Wrike ranks #2 in monthly organic traffic at 661,149 visits, but #4 in ranking keywords with 107,547 keywords—indicating strong traffic relative to a comparatively narrower base of search terms than the other sites.
The top performer is Smartsheet with 902,335 monthly organic visits and 306,420 ranking keywords, putting Wrike behind on both reach and breadth; overall, the market leaders combine higher traffic with much broader keyword coverage, suggesting Wrike’s current position is solid in visits but underweighted in total visibility compared to the category’s strongest players.
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.
This play creates thousands of programmatic pages mapping Wrike to specific third-party tools and the exact automation 'recipes' that connect them. It targets high-intent users looking to solve specific connectivity gaps between their existing tech stack and their work management platform.
Example Keywords
- integrate [Tool Name] with work management software
- [Tool Name] task automation recipes
- send [Tool Name] form submissions to task management
- [Tool Name] approval workflow automation
Rationale
Wrike currently has a very small footprint in its /apps directory (only 10 pages in sitemap examples) despite having a robust API. Competitors like Smartsheet and Asana have 2-3x the keyword footprint, largely driven by capturing these long-tail integration queries.
Topical Authority
Wrike's existing developers.wrike.com domain and its 'AI-powered enterprise' positioning provide the technical credibility needed to rank for complex automation and API-led workflows.
Internal Data Sources
Use Wrike API documentation (endpoints, object models), the existing Apps & Integrations catalog metadata, and Help Center troubleshooting guides to provide technically accurate setup steps.
Estimated Number of Pages
8,000+ (Covering 250+ tools with 30+ workflow recipes per tool)
This strategy generates pages tailored to specific job titles and their unique daily responsibilities, showing exactly how Wrike functions as their personal 'operating system.' It moves beyond broad team pages to target the specific individuals who evaluate and champion software within an organization.
Example Keywords
- software for [Job Title, e.g., Creative Operations Manager]
- [Job Title] workflow management tool
- [Job Title] task prioritization software
- tools for [Job Title] to manage team capacity
Rationale
Wrike's current traffic is heavily concentrated in a few top pages (68% on one URL); role-based pages diversify this traffic by targeting the 'user' intent rather than just 'topic' intent. This play helps close the massive keyword coverage gap against competitors who currently rank for 100k+ more terms.
Topical Authority
Wrike's extensive blog and guide ecosystem (over 1,500 URLs) already covers general work management, providing a strong foundation to specialize into role-specific authority.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage LinkedIn data for job responsibilities, internal sales enablement 'one-pagers' for specific personas, and deployment assets that outline role-based governance patterns.
Estimated Number of Pages
25,000+ (Covering 300+ job titles across various seniority levels and industries)
This play builds a comprehensive library of every 'thing' a team produces (e.g., creative briefs, change requests, RFPs), detailing the ideal lifecycle, fields, and approval paths for each. It captures users who are searching for how to operationalize a specific work product rather than a general project.
Example Keywords
- [Artifact Name, e.g., Creative Brief] workflow tool
- [Artifact Name] tracking software
- [Artifact Name] approval process system
- manage [Artifact Name] from intake to publish
Rationale
Wrike ranks well for 'how work works' definitions but lacks specific pages for the thousands of individual artifacts managed within its system. This creates a massive long-tail opportunity to capture users at the 'operationalizing' stage of their search.
Topical Authority
As an enterprise work management platform, Wrike is a natural authority on the structure and governance of business artifacts and deliverables.
Internal Data Sources
Use internal workspace models (sample statuses and custom fields), Help Center articles on building workflows, and webinar transcripts that discuss real-world deliverable production.
Estimated Number of Pages
15,000+ (Covering 2,000+ unique work items with industry-specific variants)
This strategy targets users currently relying on fragile spreadsheets by providing 'Wrike-ready' alternatives for specific tracking use cases. Each page offers a mapping guide to import their existing data and a description of the governance benefits of moving to Wrike.
Example Keywords
- [Tracker Name, e.g., Risk Register] spreadsheet alternative
- [Tracker Name] excel template alternative
- manage [Tracker Name] in work management software
- [Tracker Name] dependency tracker tool
Rationale
Spreadsheet replacement is a primary driver for enterprise software migration. By targeting the specific 'tracker' names people use in Excel, Wrike can capture high-intent buyers at the exact moment they outgrow their current manual tools.
Topical Authority
Wrike's existing 'project planning templates' authority makes it a credible destination for users looking to upgrade their tracking methodology.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize Wrike's import/export documentation, custom field type lists, and internal 'before and after' migration case studies from the Professional Services team.
Estimated Number of Pages
8,000+ (Covering 1,000+ common spreadsheet trackers across different business functions)
This play creates deep-vertical landing pages that combine industry constraints with specific team workflows. It addresses the 'is this for me?' question for enterprise buyers in highly specialized sectors like Life Sciences, Professional Services, or Manufacturing.
Example Keywords
- project management for [Industry Name]
- [Industry Name] workflow approval software
- [Industry Name] client delivery platform
- compliance-ready work management for [Industry Name]
Rationale
Wrike's current /use-cases and /teams directories are extremely limited (fewer than 10 pages each in examples). Expanding into hundreds of industry-specific blueprints allows Wrike to compete with Smartsheet's much broader vertical coverage.
Topical Authority
Wrike's 'enterprise' positioning and existing security/compliance certifications (SOC2, ISO) provide the necessary trust signals for regulated and specialized industries.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate industry-specific case studies, deployment methodology from the /deployment section, and vertical-specific template configurations.
Estimated Number of Pages
3,000+ (Covering 150+ industries mapped across 10+ core team functions)
Improvements Summary
Rewrite each FAQ page with a definition-first opening, then add consistent H2 modules (why it matters, components, examples, mistakes, related terms, template/checklist, and “how to manage in Wrike”). Strengthen the cluster with a glossary hub, supporting templates, and tighter internal links so Tier 1 pages move from page 2 toward page 1.
Improvements Details
Prioritize updates for “effort estimation,” “project management framework,” “what are project management tools,” and “project communication management,” then refresh Tier 2 terms like RAID and stakeholder. Add comparison tables (e.g., framework vs methodology vs process; effort estimation techniques; tool categories) plus a 5–8 question on-page FAQ section targeted at PAA variants, and apply FAQPage + Article schema with author/reviewer and citations (PMI, PRINCE2, ISO, Scrum Guide). Build hub-and-spoke linking from a /project-management-guide/glossary/ (or existing guide hub), add related-terms modules and next/previous navigation, and link in from higher-traffic guide/blog pages with partial-match anchors.
Improvements Rationale
These pages have measurable search volume but near-zero traffic share, which points to striking-distance rankings with weak intent match and low CTR. A snippet-friendly definition block, richer section coverage, and PAA formatting improve relevance and SERP presentation, while hub-and-spoke internal linking helps Google evaluate the FAQ set as a cohesive entity rather than thin, isolated pages.
