SiteCurve is not just a tool for managing your own landscapes—it’s also a platform for exploring and joining SEO landscapes created by other users across the platform. This powerful networking tool helps you gain insights from different industries and connect with other SEO professionals.

Whether you're seeking insights into new niches, competitive markets, or SEO trends, SiteCurve's Discovery features make it easy to explore landscapes shared by others.


Discovering Different Landscapes

If you go to the ‘discover landscapes’ part of SiteCurve you’ll see all landscapes that have enabled ‘discoverability’ inside the account settings. This can also be found by going to sitecurve.com/discovery.

Enabling ‘discoverability’ allows SiteCurve to show these landscapes to other users of SiteCurve. Regardless if you’ve set your landscape, to public, private, or paid, you can still make it ‘discoverable’ which then lists your landscape in our discovery section of the site and other parts of our site.

Depending on if the user sets the landscape to public, private, or paid, users of SiteCurve can immidiatly access the data of that landscape and particiapte in any discussions.


Using The Discovery Directory

When you go to the discovery section of SiteCurve you’ll be able to sort and filter to find landscapes most relavent to you and your businss. Those ways are:

  • Search for websites using our global search

  • Search landscapes via the tabbed filters which will show the most prominent categories with the most landscapes

  • Use the filter functionality to refine by category, location, type, price, and age

Search for websites using our global search

If you’re curious if your website or a website you are affiliated with exists in any landscape currently on SiteCurve you should use our global search bar.

When engaged it will show you which landscapes and how many are tracking a given website. Click on a site will filter the below results to show you those landscapes.

You can then click into each landscape.

  • If the landscapes are public you can immediately access the data and see who’s winning and losing relative to the website you searched.

  • If they are private landscapes, you will have to apply to gain access

  • If they are paid, you will have to pay to get access. Pricing is set by the landscape owner

Search landscapes via the tabs

The tabbed filters will refine the landscapes to only show those that are tracking keywords that match those filters.

So if you select “heath” you will only see landscapes that are tracking keywords mapped to the “heath” category.

This is a good way to explore landscapes if you dont have a particular website in mind but are more curious about specific markets.

Search landscapes via the filters

The filter dropdown gives you more options to explore landscapes.

  • Category: Similar to the tabs you can refine the view to specific categories

  • Location: Refine the landscapes to look at landscapes for certain locations

  • Type: View landscapes that are publicly accessible or private
