Customer Reviews

Trust built on real results

“Outfox SEO built us a dieting and fitness website that successfully competes against US and UK businesses with millions of pounds worth of funding and extensive full time marketing teams. We never dreamed we would be able to compete against these types of businesses in Google’s search results.”
Stacey,

“We worked with Outfox to get a new professional site which we are very pleased with. Outfox were very easy to deal with and made the whole process straightforward. This is important because as a community owned business we don’t have lots of technical knowledge. Outfox gave us several ideas for the site and we were able to review and make changes before it was finished. We have noticed several visitors to the cafe have mentioned they found us on google, which didn’t happen before. We are happy to recommend Outfox SEO.”
Gail Anderson

”We enlisted OutFox SEO to enhance our Google rankings, and the results have been remarkable. Now, we proudly occupy top positions on Google for our selected keyword phrases, for example “How to become an energy supplier. ” Their service has been nothing short of fantastic, delivered by a team of highly knowledgeable individuals.”

Currently, we are on the verge of deploying their expertise for our upcoming Google Ads campaign.”

Got questions? We’ve got answers

It’s the systematic research and analysis of your competitors’ online activities and performance. This includes their strategies and results across key digital channels like SEO, PPC advertising, their website’s user experience, content marketing, and social media presence.

It provides crucial intelligence to make informed strategic decisions. Understanding what your competitors do well (and poorly) online helps you identify opportunities, mitigate threats, benchmark your own digital efforts, refine your marketing tactics, and ultimately gain an advantage in the digital marketplace.

Our analysis usually covers competitors’ SEO performance (keywords, links, content), PPC campaigns (keywords, ads, estimated spend), website effectiveness (speed, UX, CRO tactics), and often their content marketing themes and social media engagement patterns. The exact scope is defined during our initial consultation.

We combine your initial input with our research using market data, keyword analysis tools, and search engine results page (SERP) analysis to identify your most relevant direct and indirect competitors in the digital space.

This depends on the number of competitors and the depth of analysis required. After our initial consultation and scoping, a typical comprehensive digital competitor analysis takes approximately 2-4 weeks to complete the research, analysis, and reporting phases.

You’ll receive a detailed report outlining the findings for each competitor across the agreed digital channels, benchmark comparisons, key strategic insights, identified opportunities and threats, and actionable recommendations tailored to help you improve your own digital performance. We typically discuss this report with you in a follow-up consultation.

The digital landscape changes rapidly. A deep-dive analysis is recommended annually or when planning major strategic shifts. However, lighter, ongoing monitoring (e.g., quarterly) of key competitor activities or metrics is often beneficial to stay current.

Yes. Our analysis relies on publicly available information, industry-standard marketing intelligence tools, and observation of online activities. It’s standard business practice to research the competitive environment to inform strategy; we do not engage in unethical methods.
