How to find organic and AdWords keywords that you share with your competition

Who are my competitors in Google search results, organic and paid? What keywords we are competing with them? What is our position and what yours for each keyword? Do we have possibilities to position ourselves better than our competitors with the keywords you have in common?

These are some of the questions SEMrush helps us respond by combining information from the main report for domain with the comparison report by keyword domains.
