The fastest and easiest way to gain information on your competition is to enter the keywords in which you intend to market into search engines and look for the results. First you want to search for a term, i.e. car wash (All examples are with Google). You should see a blue box indicating the number of total results found for that keyword. Next do the same search with quotation marks around the words; this is a more accurate search, because the quotation marks indicate that you are looking for that exact phrase. This technique give you an approximate idea about how many sites there are using this term within their website title or text. Although this is a good method to determine the total number of sites that are indexed on the web within your keyword, you are not competing against each of these sites, but more specifically the sites that are properly optimized.
