How can you tell if your competitor utilises an SEO company?
Posted by on July 21, 2020 at 11:44 pmAre there any tell-tale signs that a competitor is paying for SEO services? And the million dollar question – which provider?
We’ve found a similar size competitor in our niche (although they’ve been around a few years longer), I periodically look at their backlink profile using SEO SpyGlass and just can’t figure it out – some links look like they might be spammy paid links but could also simply be a crawler-generated link.
Other links could be from genuine outreach efforts or could be by pure chance they stumbled on their blog post.

Couple of ways:
– like you said backlink growth.
– massive organic traffic growth ( SEMrush has this data)
– Noticeable website structure or design change (use web archive)
– noticeable growth in content productionShould be enough signs in there between all of these factors to give you an idea. And no you can’t tell who or which company!
