What is Direct and Indirect Online Competition?
- Direct Online Competition refers to websites offering the same or similar content and services as you do. For a radio station, this could be other local radio station websites or media outlets that target the same audience with similar news, music, and event information.
- Indirect Online Competition, on the other hand, refers to websites that don't directly compete with your core offering but still attract the same audience. This could include local newspapers, event listing websites, the chamber of commerce, and even local blogs.
