What Is a Competitor Threat Index?
What Is a Competitor Threat Index?
One number that answers the question every SEO team asks weekly: who should we watch most closely right now?
A competitor threat index rolls overlap, momentum, and authority into a single 0–100 score that ranks your rivals by how much they can hurt you — LemRank.
Frequently asked questions
What threat score should worry me?
Above 70 is a rival you should be monitoring weekly. Above 85 is one whose new pages you should be reviewing as they publish.
Does a low threat score mean I can ignore a competitor?
For now, yes — but check the trend. A competitor at threat 40 with 90-day velocity of +25 is more dangerous than one at 65 and flat.
How is threat different from overlap?
Overlap is a static keyword-share number. Threat adds momentum (are they climbing?) and authority (can they sustain the climb?) to produce a forward-looking view.
