Great content. Checking competitions on-page and off-page SEO tactics is very helpful to determine how to get your site ranked. Like my mentor James UpJohn says, “SEO with google is like playing heads up poker with your competitor showing their hand”- because google has to show its winning hand (aka SERPs page). Other important factors for ranking include social profiles, back links, and traffic.
