Competition is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It drives organizations to provide better products for their customers, results in fairer prices, and it\u2019s one of the biggest drivers of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the LinkedIn level, it drives people to keep tweaking, posting, and optimizing to maximize the campaigns that they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re pushing for your growth, you have to know about the competition and how you can position your organization for greatness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we take a look at how to use LinkedIn competitor analysis to determine your competition\u2019s plays and use that information to create better campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n\n\n
The business landscape is not what it used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s something that I learned earlier on in life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t adapt, you die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Successful organizations have learned to adapt quickly to the ever-changing needs of their prospects, and you can only adapt if you understand the market and the different players in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Competitor analysis equips organizations with the information they need to navigate today\u2019s markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, here\u2019s the caveat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve seen a lot of people get so caught up with competitor analysis that they fail to stay original in their own light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping a tab on the competition should not distract you from running your own organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should only serve as a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use it as information, inspiration or as a benchmark, but don\u2019t let it dictate your next actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have to be proactive with the information instead of being reactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the day, you\u2019re still in control of the show, and you don\u2019t have to do everything that they\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless if you\u2019re new or old in the industry, you\u2019ll have a list of competitors that are after the same markets as you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first people you want to check out are these guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you know about them, there\u2019s a fair chance that they\u2019re popular in the industry and your prospects know about them as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For competition that\u2019s on a larger scale than you, pay attention to what you think they\u2019re doing right on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it\u2019s competition that\u2019s about to catch up, you might want to reexamine what you\u2019re doing to compare it to their more successful campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another place to look for your competitors is through LinkedIn itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pull up LinkedIn search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now type in the keywords that you want to rank for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If they did a good job with their LinkedIn SEO, they should appear higher in the LinkedIn search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
