Use free tools first: Google Search Console, Ubersuggest free, Ahrefs free checker
Analysing domain authority instead of page-level competition — you compete page-to-page
Targeting keywords without matching competitor content depth
Ignoring Core Web Vitals — slow pages undermine even excellent content
