What it shows
What the numbers tell us
- Ranking for a rival's name brings in viewers who were searching for someone else: [Opponent B] on its own reaches #2 in Germany.
- Germany is the strongest market, with 7 of 8 keywords in the top 5.
- The US is the gap: searches pairing the fighter with [Opponent A], the opponent from the win, do not rank there yet, and the US has the lowest SEO score of the three regions.
