SEO Competitor Analysis

The SEO Competitor Analysis tool puts two websites side by side. It reads each homepage and sitemap and lays out the title tag, meta description, H1 and H2 count, word count, schema, sitemap size, AI crawler blocks, llms.txt, internal links and load time in one table. A headline tells you how many of 6 measures your site leads on.

How to read the comparison

Your site is in the first column and the competitor is in the second. The tool reads the homepage and the sitemap.xml of each site, so the table describes how each site is built.

The headline counts how many of 6 measures you lead on: schema blocks, words on the homepage, pages in the sitemap, H2 sections, load time and having a meta description. A tie counts as a lead, and for load time the lower number wins.

How to read each row

Each row is one thing the tool measured on both sites.

RowWhat it shows
Title tag and lengthThe homepage title and its character count
Meta descriptionWhether the homepage has one
H1 and H2 sectionsThe main heading and how many H2 sections the homepage has
Words on homepageHow much text the homepage carries
Schema blocks and typesHow many JSON-LD blocks there are and the first few types
FAQ schemaWhether a FAQPage block is present
Pages in sitemapThe number of entries in sitemap.xml, or No sitemap if none is found at that address
AI crawlers blockedWhich AI crawlers the robots.txt blocks
llms.txtWhether the site has one
Internal links on homeHow many links on the homepage point to the same site
Load timeHow long the homepage took to fetch, in milliseconds

What it does not cover

It does not cover backlinks, traffic or rankings. Each site is judged on its homepage and sitemap only, so the rest of a site's pages are not compared.

Turning gaps into briefs

Rows where the competitor is ahead are your gaps, like a FAQ block you lack, a larger sitemap or a faster homepage. To find topics they cover that you do not, run the keyword gap checker.

Take each topic to the content brief generator to get an outline, questions to answer and schema to ship for the page.

Common questions

Your site matched or beat the competitor on 4 of the 6 measures the tool counts: schema blocks, homepage words, sitemap pages, H2 sections, load time and having a meta description. It is a quick summary, so read the rows to see where the gaps are.
The tool looks for sitemap.xml at the root of the site. A sitemap at a different address, or one listed only in robots.txt, is not found.
No. It compares how the two sites are built, from their homepages and sitemaps. Rankings, traffic and backlinks are not included.
