Competitor Keyword Modifiers

What are Competitor Keyword Themes?

Competitor Keyword Themes are words or phrases that reference a competitor’s name or brand. The purpose of such keywords is to redirect high intent traffic to alternative (ie. your) alternative.

Keyword Analysis Technique for Nerds

Before diving into the results, here’s a quick summary of our data analysis technique using Factors.AI. Skip ahead to the next section for our insights on competitor keyword performance.

Our data science team performed individual keyword analysis on five mid-market SaaS firms based on 29,667 performance records collected over a period of six months. This analysis consisted of the generation of two `theme types” — one based on broad campaign themes like “brand, product, feature, and competitors”. This acted as the base upon which the second theme — which consisted of  ad groups and keywords — was analysed. Our analysis technique controls and compares a specific keyword modifier with a base-average of several other keyword modifiers to derive a causal interpretation. For instance, “Competitor vs Competitor” was compared with the average performance of “Competitor review”, “Competitor Brand” and more.
