Competitor analysis is lengthy process. It has many things to be kept in mind. You can use tools and also can do manually. I always do it manually to get exact results.

I would suggest first start with On Page Analysis of your competitors websites, and then try to find out their link building techniques. It seems quite simple but very tough task to do.

Competitor analysis is the process of locating your closest competitors and examining their strengths, weaknesses and strategies. You need to check:

- Number of backlinks
- SEO/ PPC keywords that are generating maximum traffic
- PPC marketing campaign
- Content strategy
- Local marketing strategies

I am stalking my competitors all the time...I use ‘Keyword Country to track my competitors’ ranking, traffic,SEOand PPC strategy and I am surprised to see how aggressively they are working!

1. Identifying broad and niche competitors to analyze
2. Onsite competitive analysis (keywords, content and technical analysis)
3. Offsite competitive analysis (backlinks, link building strategy)
4. Competitor surveillance (keeping tabs on their SEO strategy)

A competitive analysis is similar to a SWOT analysis, in which a company looks at its own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. However, with a competitive analysis, you define yourself according to others.
