Compare Your Website Against Competitors

Erik Francas··3 min read

Every business has competitors. The question is: does your website outperform theirs where it matters? Our free competitor comparison tool lets you find out in under a minute.

Why Comparing Matters

You might think your website is fine. But "fine" is relative. If your competitor has faster page speed, better SEO, and proper mobile optimisation while you do not, they are winning customers that should be yours.

Understanding where you stand compared to competitors helps you:

  • Prioritise improvements based on where you are actually behind
  • Identify quick wins where a small fix puts you ahead
  • Build a business case for investing in your website and marketing
  • Track progress by re-running the comparison after making changes

You might think your website is fine.

How the Comparison Works

Our tool runs the same 10-point audit on both your website and your competitor's, then shows the results side by side:

  • Page Speed - who loads faster on mobile
  • SSL Certificate - who has HTTPS security
  • Meta Title - whose title tags are properly optimised
  • Meta Description - whose descriptions are the right length
  • H1 Heading - who has proper heading structure
  • Open Graph Tags - whose links look better when shared on social media
  • Mobile Viewport - who is properly set up for mobile
  • Image Alt Tags - who has better image accessibility
  • Word Count - who has more indexable content
  • Canonical URL - who has proper duplicate content handling
  • Each website gets scored out of 100, and you can see at a glance who is winning on each individual check. The tool tells you exactly how many areas you are ahead, behind, or tied.

    What the Results Look Like

    You get:

    • Two score circles showing your score vs your competitor's score
    • A winner badge on whoever scored higher overall
    • A comparison table with green/yellow/red indicators for each check on both sites
    • A summary telling you "You are ahead in X areas, behind in Y areas"
    • Detailed results for your own website so you know exactly what to fix

    We also email you the full comparison report so you can share it with your team.

    Who Should Use This Tool

    This is particularly useful for:

    • Restaurant owners who want to see how they compare to the place down the road
    • Fitness businesses competing for local clients with other gyms and studios
    • Any business pitching for investment who needs to show their digital presence stacks up
    • Agencies who want to show prospects where their website needs work (yes, we are happy for other agencies to use it too)

    Real Example

    Let us say you run a restaurant in Mayfair and your main competitor has a website scoring 85/100 while yours scores 62/100. The comparison might reveal:

    • They have LocalBusiness schema, you do not
    • They have faster page speed because they use optimised images
    • Your meta descriptions are too long while theirs are perfect
    • You both lack review schema, so that is a shared opportunity

    Now you know exactly what to fix, and in what order, to overtake them in search results.

    Let us say you run a restaurant in Mayfair and your main competitor has a website scoring 85/100 while yours scores 62/100.
