πŸ† #1 Traffic Leader β€’ 5 Min Read

Alpine IQ

The King With a Blind Spot

⚠️
Critical Vulnerability

Alpine IQ is the #1 traffic leader with 84,261 visits β€” 2x more than any competitor. But here's the problem: 32% of your rankings are BRAND searches ("alpine iq", "alpine login"). You're winning on name recognition, not SEO. And while you rest on brand, competitors are building content moats around 52,750 monthly searches you don't rank for.

⚠️ The Vulnerability: Springbig ranks for 226 keywords you don't. Happy Cabbage ranks for 173 keywords you don't. They're capturing category traffic while you rely on brand awareness. When brand awareness plateaus, they'll have the SEO foundation β€” you won't.
🎯 The Opportunity: 153 instant win keywords (KD < 15) worth 17,480 monthly searches are sitting unclaimed. You have the traffic authority β€” now build the content moat before competitors lock you out.
