Readiness Assessment
Current Performance
- You rank for ~8k organic keywords and drive ~12k monthly organic visits (≈$20k in traffic value), with visibility concentrated in a small set of pages.
- Your Authority Score is 43, supported by ~110k backlinks from ~7k referring domains—a solid foundation, but not yet translating into category-leading search demand capture.
- Top traffic drivers skew heavily to brand + investor + trend content: homepage (~3k visits), Black Friday/Cyber Monday results (~2k), email deliverability resource (~1k), and investor/stock pages (~2k combined); top keywords include “zeta”, “zeta stock”, and “email deliverability news.”
Growth Opportunity
- You’re 4th of 4 vs Braze/Salesforce/Adobe; Adobe (~43m visits) highlights a massive addressable search market you’re not capturing with your current ~12k visits and ~8k keywords.
- Reduce reliance on brand/investor and seasonal trend spikes by building bottom-funnel solution demand (e.g., AI marketing cloud, CDP, omnichannel marketing, email deliverability, personalization, DSP/activation) and expanding non-brand rankings where volume is high but your traffic share is low (e.g., “digital marketing agency”).
- Your sitemap shows hundreds of resource-center and knowledge base URLs, but few are top performers—systematic optimization (topic clusters, internal linking, refreshes, and SERP-intent alignment) could turn that content inventory into sustained traffic.
Assessment
You have enough authority and content surface area to grow, but organic traffic is currently narrow and concentrated in brand/investor and a handful of trend posts. The competitive gap suggests meaningful upside if you expand non-brand, product-led content and improve how existing libraries rank. AirOps can help you execute this systematically at scale and unlock Airops-powered growth.
Competition at a Glance
Across 3 key competitors (Braze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and Adobe Experience Cloud), the organic search landscape shows Zeta Global has materially lower visibility in both traffic and keyword coverage.
zetaglobal.com ranks 4th (last) in monthly organic search traffic and 4th (last) in ranking keywords among the four domains measured, with 11,755 monthly organic visits from 8,434 ranking keywords—well behind even the closest peer in the group.
The market leader is Adobe.com, generating 43,480,819 monthly organic visits and ranking for 12,428,884 keywords, which underscores a significant visibility and demand-capture gap for Zeta. Overall, competitors translate substantially broader keyword footprints into higher traffic, indicating Zeta’s current market position is constrained by comparatively limited organic reach and lower traffic yield per keyword versus the category leaders.
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.
Create a comprehensive library of indexable landing pages for every third-party integration and data connector supported by the Zeta Marketing Platform. These pages capture high-intent buyers looking to connect their existing tech stack to a centralized AI marketing cloud.
Example Keywords
- "{vendor} marketing platform integration"
- "{vendor} CDP integration"
- "{vendor} customer data activation"
- "send {vendor} audiences to ad platforms"
- "{vendor} identity resolution integration"
Rationale
Buyers in the evaluation phase prioritize platforms that seamlessly integrate with their current tools. By providing detailed technical and use-case specific integration pages, Zeta can capture this high-conversion traffic that is currently underserved.
Topical Authority
Zeta already has a significant Knowledge Base footprint for integrations like Slack, Heap, and Shopify. Expanding these into dedicated SEO landing pages leverages existing technical credibility to dominate long-tail integration queries.
Internal Data Sources
Utilize knowledgebase.zetaglobal.com integration articles, docs.zetaglobal.com API references, and partners.zetaglobal.com directory data to provide unique, authoritative technical context.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000 - 6,000 (Covering hundreds of vendors across multiple use-case variants)
Develop a programmatic library of comparison pages and RFP templates that position Zeta against major competitors and legacy solutions. This strategy targets users in the consideration phase who are actively comparing enterprise marketing clouds.
Example Keywords
- "{vendor} alternatives"
- "{vendor} vs {vendor}"
- "best {category} for enterprise"
- "{category} RFP template"
- "{category} requirements checklist"
Rationale
Comparison queries represent some of the highest commercial intent in the MarTech space. Capturing this traffic allows Zeta to bridge the visibility gap against competitors like Braze and Salesforce who currently have much larger keyword footprints.
Topical Authority
Zeta's inclusion in major analyst reports (e.g., Forrester Wave) and its existing solutions architecture provide the necessary authority to host credible, objective-sounding comparison content.
Internal Data Sources
Leverage internal product module descriptions, Forrester analyst assets, and existing case studies to build differentiated feature-by-feature comparisons.
Estimated Number of Pages
600 - 1,800 (Covering dozens of competitors and category-specific RFP checklists)
Generate thousands of programmatic landing pages that map specific sub-verticals to marketing use cases and measurable business outcomes. This moves beyond generic industry pages to address the hyper-specific needs of niche markets like 'Grocery Retail' or 'Retail Banking'.
Example Keywords
- "{subvertical} customer acquisition platform"
- "{subvertical} marketing personalization platform"
- "{subvertical} identity resolution for {industry}"
- "{subvertical} customer retention software"
Rationale
Enterprise buyers search for solutions tailored to their specific industry nuances. Programmatically scaling these pages allows Zeta to capture long-tail 'solution shopping' queries that generic competitors miss.
Topical Authority
Zeta's current success with vertical-specific trend reports (e.g., Black Friday and Valentine's Day) proves that search engines already associate the domain with industry-specific marketing insights.
Internal Data Sources
Incorporate proprietary vertical insights from the Zeta Economic Index and existing customer success stories from the resource center to provide unique industry context.
Estimated Number of Pages
1,500 - 4,000 (Mapping 50+ sub-verticals across 20+ use cases and channel variants)
Transform proprietary report data into a massive library of industry-specific benchmark pages and KPI explainers. These pages provide marketers with the data they need to justify budgets and set performance goals using Zeta's unique data sets.
Example Keywords
- "{industry} {kpi} benchmark {year}"
- "average {kpi} for {industry}"
- "{kpi} improvement strategies"
- "{kpi} calculator"
- "retail email open rate benchmarks"
Rationale
Marketers constantly search for benchmarks to evaluate their own performance. By providing these benchmarks programmatically, Zeta becomes a primary resource for the evaluation-stage audience.
Topical Authority
Zeta already hosts multiple 'Email Benchmark Reports' and has a deep resource center, making it a natural authority for performance data and marketing metrics.
Internal Data Sources
Extract data from existing Email Benchmark Report PDFs, the Zeta Economic Index, and Knowledge Base metric definitions to ensure data accuracy and uniqueness.
Estimated Number of Pages
2,000 - 8,000 (Covering dozens of KPIs across various industries and time periods)
Create a programmatic 'audience playbook' catalog that defines specific, deployable segments for various industries and marketing goals. Each page provides a blueprint for building high-value audiences using behavioral and transactional signals.
Example Keywords
- "customer segmentation for {industry}"
- "audience segments for {use case}"
- "retention segments for {industry}"
- "RFM segmentation for {industry}"
- "propensity model segments"
Rationale
Marketers often struggle with how to effectively segment their data. Providing ready-made templates positions Zeta as a strategic partner and captures users looking for actionable segmentation advice.
Topical Authority
The domain has extensive documentation on segments, behaviors, and people within its Knowledge Base, providing a strong technical foundation for this strategy.
Internal Data Sources
Use PersonaPulse Values Definitions, internal KB segment documentation, and case study data to offer proprietary segment archetypes and rules.
Estimated Number of Pages
25,000 - 80,000 (Scaling across 60+ industries and dozens of marketing goals)
Improvements Summary
Rebuild the “Email Marketing, Deliverability & Compliance” cluster into a clear hub-and-spoke setup: /enterprise-email-marketing/ as the commercial hub and /seventh-age-email-deliverability/ as a monthly-updated editorial hub, with acquisition, replenishment, and opt-out pages as spokes. Refresh resource pages with TOC jump links, examples/templates, common-mistakes sections, FAQ blocks + FAQ schema, and add persistent + contextual internal linking between all pages (including /sailthru/).
Improvements Details
Retarget each URL to tighter intent keywords (e.g., “enterprise email marketing,” “email deliverability,” “unsubscribe/opt-out email examples,” “replenishment email,” “email marketing for customer acquisition”) and update titles/meta to place the primary term early; add “Updated [Month] [Year]” to the deliverability hub. Expand the enterprise page with enterprise requirements (security/governance/SLAs), comparison modules (enterprise vs basic ESPs; in-house vs platform), and 1–2 short case-study blocks. Publish 2–3 new long-tail assets that support internal links and snippets (Deliverability Checklist for 2026, SPF vs DKIM vs DMARC, preference center templates, replenishment templates, acquisition welcome-series blueprint).
Improvements Rationale
Deliverability demand is high but broad; a frequently refreshed “updates + checklist” hub with citations signals freshness and matches search intent better than a static post. Template/checklist content and tighter long-tail angles reduce head-term competition, while TOCs, FAQs, and structured sections raise CTR and snippet eligibility. Stronger internal linking and an expanded /enterprise-email-marketing/ pillar help the cluster rank as a unit and capture broader non-branded enterprise-intent queries beyond the current ultra-niche terms.
