Competitor Profiles

  • Turnover / number of employees

  • Key decision makers

  • Facilities

  • Product range

  • Marketing claims and general positioning

  • News

Best in Class Analysis

When we look at competitor websites, we can identify 'best in class' examples for different aspects. This analysis is designed to give very practical recommendations to help inform and further strengthen a client’s positioning and marketing of its services.


Best in class examples may be selected for their site a whole, but more often it is specific aspects and details that help inform very practical recommendations. For example:

  • Engaging site content / visual design

  • Clear communication of customer benefits

  • Product / service presentation

  • Credibility, e.g. customer testimonials

  • Expert knowledge (white papers, articles etc.)

  • Compelling call to action
