How to leverage competitors’ brand name for implementing Versus Blogs SaaS SEO Strategy

Now let’s discuss how you can leverage your competitors’ brand names/keywords for promoting your brand/product.

When a SaaS product becomes popular people search for that brand name to visit that website, and check features, pricing and there will be some who will be searching about other alternatives for any particular SaaS brand, and also they compare one SaaS brand with another. People compare one SaaS brand with another and we all search this way – {One SaaS Brand} vs {Another SaaS Brand}

In the above screenshot, you can see when I searched for “Semrush vs Ahrefs” many blogs are popping up at the top. What’s interesting in that search results screenshot is you can see Ahrefs has already implemented the Versus Blog SEO Strategy which I’m explaining to you on this blog. Check the 3rd ranking search result and it is of Ahrefs. They have written a blog on Ahrefs vs Semrush vs Moz. Semrush and Moz are its top competitors and they know very well about it that’s why they didn’t miss to implement this strategy. And, they won this war by placing their blog at the top.

I’m surprised, that Semrush hasn’t implemented this strategy. Or do they have any big plans? Yesssss! Look at the below screenshot. Backlinko is ranking at the 2nd position, just above where Ahrefs’ blog is ranking! Backlinko is now owned by Semrush which they acquired in 2022.

This is an interesting war, isn’t it? This is how you can try to fight with your competitors and win the game when people are trying to compare your brand with another or your competitors brand with other competitors.
