Here are key factors to evaluate:

Search Intent – Determine whether the top-ranking pages are informational (blogs, guides), navigational (brand websites), or transactional (product or service pages). This helps you align your content with what users are looking for.

Content Type & Format – Look at the structure of top results. Are they listicles, how-to guides, product pages, or comparison articles? This gives insight into the type of content that performs best for your target keyword.

Competition Level – Check who is ranking. If high-authority sites dominate the results, it may be harder to compete. Look for opportunities in long-tail keywords with lower competition.

Featured Snippets & SERP Features – Identify if Google shows featured snippets, People Also Ask (PAA) boxes, images, or video results. Optimizing for these features can improve visibility.

Keyword Variations & Related Terms – Review related searches and suggestions at the bottom of the page. These provide ideas for additional keywords to target.

Page Titles & Meta Descriptions – Analyzing how competitors craft their titles and descriptions helps you refine your approach to stand out in search results.
