Challenges with SEO and content marketing today

Content strategy is not right – which leads to significant lost opportunities and revenue
Changes in search and with Google algorithms are negatively impacting performance
Competitors are outperforming them, and brands cannot understand why
Brands lack a granular understanding of the search landscape and what consumers are looking for

Looking more closely, you can see from one of those highlighted businesses the significant opportunity now being missed on the left of the visual above.

Jon Earnshaw, Chief Product Evangelist at Pi Datametrics said,
“Search data is no longer confined to the realms of the SEO team. It’s far too valuable and insightful for that. We’re democratizing search data to be used throughout the business, from the strategic to the technical.
Take Pi Market Intelligence, for example. This showcases every single competitor for any consumer search you can think of – not just those already on your radar – giving you the most comprehensive pool of consumer insight on the market”.

Some big businesses are using the software as a damage mitigation tool by supporting complex global website migrations. Other types of companies use insights to size-up competitors as well as new opportunities in new markets. On the tactical level, they have publishers using the software on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis to better understand the search landscape and their readers’ intent.
