Competitor Rank Comparison

Top Competitors Rank

By default this table displays all competitors with keywords ranking in the top 20 search engine results, however, there is a display filter in Report Options that allows you to limit the results to competitors who have greater than 10, 20, 30 or more of the campaign keywords ranking in the top 20. This can help weed out sites that only have 1 or 2 keywords ranking in the top positions so you can focus on the larger competitors.
