Free Competitor Finder Tool: Discover Your SEO Rivals in Seconds

Knowing who you're competing against is the foundation of any SEO strategy. But identifying your real SEO competitors — not just the brands you think you're competing with — requires data. Citedy's free Competitor Finder reveals your true search rivals based on keyword overlap and content similarity.

The Problem

Many businesses assume they know their competitors, but SEO competitors are different from business competitors. A small blog might outrank you for key terms, while a major brand in your industry might not compete for the same keywords at all.

Without data, you're guessing — and guessing means missing opportunities.

How It Works

Step 1: Enter Your Domain

Visit citedy.com/tools/competitor-finder and enter your website URL.

Step 2: AI Analyzes the Landscape

The tool analyzes your domain to identify websites competing for the same keywords, topics, and audience segments.

Step 3: Review Your Competitors

Get a ranked list of competing domains with:

  • Overlap score — How much their keyword targeting overlaps with yours
  • Domain comparison — Key metrics side by side
  • Shared keywords — Specific terms where you both compete
  • Content overlap — Topics where you both publish

Step 4: Take Action

Use competitor data to:

  • Find content gaps where competitors rank and you don't
  • Identify link building opportunities from competitor backlinks
  • Discover keyword targets you've been missing
  • Benchmark your progress against real rivals

Key Features

  • AI-powered discovery — Finds competitors based on actual search overlap, not just industry assumptions
  • Keyword overlap analysis — See exactly which terms you share with each competitor
  • Content similarity scoring — Understand topical overlap between your site and competitors
  • Actionable insights — Each competitor comes with specific opportunities to explore
  • Free with 100 credits — No credit card required

Use Cases

SaaS startups: Discover which established brands compete for your target keywords. Often, your real SEO competitors are different from your product competitors.

Content sites: Identify blogs and publications ranking for topics you want to own.

Local businesses: Discover local and national competitors in your service area.

vs Paid Alternatives

Ahrefs ($129/mo) and Semrush ($139.95/mo) offer competitor analysis, but they're bundled into expensive suites. Citedy's competitor finder is free with 100 credits — perfect for quick competitive research without a subscription commitment.
