• Keyword in Title - to find your competitors targeting the same keywords, it is important to apply Google advanced search operators. intitle: “keyword phrase” will return all the webpages that contain the phrase in the web page title.
• Keyword in Anchor Text - inanchor: “keyword phrase” will help determine the sites that have gained backlinks with the industry keywords in the link text.
