The sophisticated brand competition analysis to win over the competitors, steps?

No comments

If a competitor's tremendous business growth makes you feel jealous then your competitor is a gainer over you, any doubt!

And, if a competitor's business growth hooks you to analyze the Brand Competition between the competitor (you) and the competitor, also makes you feel inspired and influenced then you must go to do better than your brand competitor.

Definitely, if you monitor your brand competitor with a strategic approach such as using the competition analytical tools and the Sophisticated Brand Competition Analysis Steps following my (Momenul Ahmad) blog post.

Also, the other brand competition strategies guide them, once your Brand competitor feels jealous to see your competitive Brand/Business growth.

Let's know first, how many types of competitors are before rolling the converse on competition analytical tools and Brand Competition Monitoring Steps?


As per HubSpot published and updated on January 20, 2022. post, HubSpot Author "Erin Rodrigue" described three 3 Types of Competitors in Business,: 

1. Direct competitors.

2. Indirect competitors.

3. Replacement competitors, and besides, also, in addition, I added an exclusive type of competitor, called Unseen Competitor.


Who are unseen competitors in digital marketing?

Unseen competitors are a type of competitor, who either do not follow a brand or analyze a specific group of brand's content knowingly but produce relevant and similar on-topics content unknowingly.

May unseen competitors downgrade a relevant niche marketing campaign's effort?

Indeed, an unseen competitor is only sometimes, better ever than a brand competitor in competition monitoring, and competition analysis.

Rather, the Unseen competitors produce, publish, syndicate, and repurpose the best content staying on market niche topics that may perform better on the top SERPs than your content.

So! The king of the ring is, who is ahead on your content niche/keywords. Unseen competitors are marketing winners and losers if you overlook or evaluate an unseen competitor's marketing effort.

Why does an unskilled competition analyst as an unseen brand competitor stay ahead in SERP rather than me?

An unskilled competition analyst stays on top of Search Results rather than you because he/she remains to update and repurpose quality content and relevant content on their marketing niches with high ratioed engaging content.
