how can i find my competitors keywords

Another way is to simply view what they've inserted into their keyword meta tag. Although that tag has not been used by Google for some time, many websites still populate the tag with the terms they would like the page to rank well for. To view the keywords meta tag, right click (if you're using windows) on the web page you're investigating and select "view source" or "view page source" and look near the top of the html page. There you'll see some code that looks like this:
name="keywords" content="keyword 1, keyword 2, keyword 3, etc."/>
While you're looking at the page source, you can also look at the title tag (usually just above the keyword tag by a few lines). It looks like this:
<title>...this is the page title....</span><span></title>
If you see overlap between words and or phrases in the title and the keywords tags, you can be pretty sure they are trying to rank for those terms--maybe successfully, maybe not.

Hi there
Quite a few tools out there will let you do this. SEMRush is a popular one - simply add the competitor's URL into the field and it will show you the organic (and paid) keywords they rank for. Searchmetrics does this too, and I've found it a bit better for EU keywords.
Keyword Spy and SpyFu do this as well.
Hope these help.

What does "Optimal Use of Keywords in Header Tags" really mean?
I get this explanation on the grader: Although using targeted keywords in H1 tags on your page does not directly correlate to high rankings, it does appear to provide some slight value. It's also considered a best practice for accessibility and helps potential visitors determine your page's content, so we recommend it. Over-using keywords, however, can be perceived as keyword stuffing (a form of search engine spam) and can negatively impact rankings, so use keywords in H1 tags two or fewer times. To adhere to best practices in Google News and Bing News, headlines should contain the relevant keyword target and be treated with the same importance as title tags. But I have the keyword in an H1 tag, only once. So why am getting this message on the grader? The URL is https://www.armsecuritysystems.com/business-security-systems/ The keyword is "business security systems" Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Need a Reliable Free Bulk Keyword Rank Checker
I have 2,871 keywords that I need to check Google rank for on 4 separate domains. Does anyone know of any FREE tools or plugins available that will allow for this volume that wont get my IP banned by Google? Even the Moz Rank Checker only allows to enter 1 keyword at a time for up to 200 per day. Who would seriously enter in 200 keywords, one by one all day, every day?

Hello, I don't know if I am being a bit daft but I don't seem to be able to find the area where I can request a one off crawl report anymore (rather than setting up a campaign). Can someone let me know where this is now? Thanks!
