The audio market has been amplified this year with online visibility increasing by a whopping 26% for the entire industry. Not bad at all. The sector as a whole has clearly been putting in the hours to improve their sites.
Some of the winners in the audio industry include big brands like Currys, Comet, and Ebuyer. Who shot up the SERPs as much as 900% over the course of 2020.
Of course, where there are winners, there must also be losers. Brands like LG and Crutchfield saw decreases in visibility this year, despite the industry boost as a whole. Their sites slumped by as much as -20%. Clearly, they have some catching up to do.

Making sure your brand is appearing in front of your audience’s eye is key when it comes to online marketing. You need to be making sure your marketing efforts are actually ensuring your content and messaging is pushed out to the people who matter.
Because, at Salience, we understand the importance of this, we have included a digital reach score. This metric includes an analysis of social media and online brand mentions, allowing you to see how far each brand’s messaging goes online.
This metric is used to create a league table comparing all the audio brands in the industry. With it, you can see how well you and your competitors are branding themselves online.
In this year’s report, Curry’s was placed in the number 1 spot for digital brand reach. They managed to accumulate 5 million searches a month and have an owned social score of 1394. Not bad at all. Even though they’re a massive brand, it could still be a fruitful task to go through and see if they’re doing anything new to achieve such a high score.
Although Curry’s are the best in the league table, they’re not the best for social media alone. LG takes the crown for that metric. They have managed to get an owned social score well over 80K. This is huge. If you are to take social media-specific learnings from any brand, LG is definitely one to look in to.

High competition keywords are present in every industry. These are the keywords that carry lots of search volume and high competition metrics and are the keywords every SEO dreams of getting. The trouble is, they’re difficult to snag.
