Website competitive benchmarking study

Website competitive benchmarking study

Staying ahead of competitors is key to continued success, and competitive benchmarking analysis can provide valuable insight into where you stand against them. Our client, a major information services company, found that its competitors performed better online and wanted to know why. In order to determine the areas for improvement, it needed more than simply piecemeal, temporary solutions provided by software tools and SEO analysts. In search of a comprehensive approach, it commissioned Netscribes to conduct a competitive benchmarking analysis of their website  in terms of content, design, functionality, and effectiveness. Find out how the client made informed changes to their website based on Netscribes’ competitive benchmarking analysis.
