SEO competitor analysis that finds who actually takes your clicks
Every rank check records who sits above you on each keyword, for free. A separate Find Competitors run finds the domains whose rankings overlap yours — even before your site ranks.

Where Competitor Analysis fits
Each step hands its output straight to the next — no exports, no second tool.
Most tools answer "who are my competitors?" with sites that look like yours. In search, your competitor is whoever takes the click you wanted — often a directory, a marketplace or a company in a different business.
TaskGlaze answers it twice, because "who beats me on this keyword" and "who competes with my site overall" are different questions. Rank checks already pull the top 50 results for each tracked keyword, so the domains above you are recorded as they go. Find Competitors is the separate domain-level run: it compares your domain's organic footprint with everyone else's and returns the sites that overlap it most, with the keywords you share and their average position.
Competitor Analysis, step by step
Track keywords, and the first list builds itself
Every scheduled check records each domain that ranked above you for that term, with its position and yours. Nothing to press and no run spent — it refreshes on your plan's rank-check schedule.
Run Find Competitors for the domain-level view
One run reads your domain's organic footprint and returns the domains whose rankings overlap yours, each with the keywords you share and their average position. Results are stored, so browsing and paging them afterwards costs nothing.
No rankings yet? The run falls back
For a brand-new domain it reads your site's own content for keyword ideas and finds who ranks for those. If the site is too new even for that, it uses the niche you picked when you created the project.
Go after their links
The two views are cross-referenced: a domain-level rival shows how many of your tracked keywords it beats you on, and a keyword-level rival shows how much of your keyword set it shares. From either, one click pulls that competitor's backlinks.
What's included in Competitor Analysis
Keyword-level rivals, free
The domains that genuinely appeared above you on the terms you track, written down by the rank check that was running anyway. A domain that never outranks you never appears.
Domain-level rivals by overlap
Each Find Competitors result carries its shared-keyword count and average position, so a small site beating you on twenty terms ranks above a giant that brushes past you on one.
Works before you rank
A domain with nothing ranking falls back to keyword ideas from its own content, then to the project's niche, so a new site gets a real list on day one.
Cross-referenced both ways
An "Outranks you on" count on one side, a shared-keyword count on the other, each clickable through to the matching row in the other view.
A running tally per domain
Across every rank check, TaskGlaze counts how often each domain turned up above you, with its average, best and worst position — so a persistent rival stands out from a one-off.
One click to their backlinks
Any competitor opens straight into backlink analysis, scoped to the exact URL that outranked you or their whole domain.
What it doesn't do
Worth knowing before you sign up.
- Find Competitors runs are metered per plan (the trial includes one). The keyword-level list is free but only covers keywords you track.
- Each Find Competitors run replaces the previous domain-level list; only the keyword-level side keeps history.
- Competitors are found by ranking overlap, not backlink-profile similarity — that method mostly surfaced directories and PR wires.
Competitor Analysis: common questions
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask us and the founder will reply.
By ranking overlap, two ways. The keyword-level list is whoever actually appeared above you for a keyword you track, recorded when that check ran. The domain-level Find Competitors run compares your domain's organic footprint with everyone else's and returns the domains that overlap it most, with the keyword count and average position behind each. Neither uses backlink-profile overlap, which was tested and dropped because it mostly surfaces the directories and PR wires that link to everyone.
No. It works from your project's domain: first the domains whose rankings overlap yours, then keywords derived from your site's content if you don't rank yet, then the niche you picked when you created the project. Your tracked keywords drive the keyword-level list instead, and the two are cross-referenced afterwards.
Usually, yes. With no rankings to compare, Find Competitors reads your site's content for keyword ideas and finds who ranks for those. If there aren't even keyword ideas yet, it uses the niche you chose at setup — a required field, so there's always a real seed.
The domain-level run, yes — it has a real cost, so each plan includes an allowance of runs and the app shows what you've used. The free trial includes one run, as a one-time budget rather than a monthly one. The keyword-level list has no limit and refreshes with every scheduled rank check.
Pick the domains genuinely beating you and pull their backlinks. A competitor's referring domains are sites that already link to something like yours, which makes a far better outreach list than a scraped niche list — and that's the next step of the workflow.
