Step 2- Since we are aiming to rank our Sites Brand- We need to use our “Brand Keywords” in stalking competitors.(e,i. plumber davidson, plumber woolwich, plumber chippendale)- Gather all 1st page (top 3 results) ranking competitors. Then analyze all their backlinks then compare. - Disregard :● Ads● Directories● Wikipedia
