The objective of this paper is to answer two main research questions: what are the most appropriate parameters to take into consideration for carrying out a benchmarking between Ultra and its competitors and why, based on certain parameters, it can be stated one company is performing better than another. After briefly introducing the topic of Metaverse and explaining what the Ultra company does, a benchmarking of some case studies was carried out. Once Ultra's main competitors have been identified and analysed, the most suitable parameters to take into consideration to perform the benchmark between the competitors and the company in question were established. The websites of each company were examined, both from a communication point of view and from a SEO point of view, the social media and the customers of the competitors. The results showed that, although in a different way, SEO quality of competitors sites is quite good, while the accuracy and exhaustiveness of these, from a perspective more linked to communication, are not always put first. On social media, however, almost all competitors have a more or less active and well-kept profile, even if, in many cases, there is a discrepancy regarding the number of followers and the number of "likes". While the geographical constituency of the customers of the majority of competitors is heterogeneous, the industries they address are in some cases quite similar to each other. Finally, the customer retention rate of competitors is quite low.
L’obiettivo che si è posto questo elaborato è quello di rispondere a due principali domande di ricerca: quali sono i parametri più opportuni da tenere in considerazione per effettuare un benchmarking tra Ultra e i competitor e perché, in base a certi parametri, si può affermare un’azienda stia operando meglio di un’altra. Dopo aver brevemente introdotto la tematica del Metaverso e spiegato di cosa si occupa l’azienda Ultra, è stato eseguito un benchmarking di alcuni casi studio. Una volta individuati e analizzati quali sono i principali competitor di Ultra, sono stati stabiliti i parametri più adatti da tenere in considerazione per eseguire il benchmark tra i concorrenti e l’azienda in questione. Sono stati esaminati i siti web di ciascuna azienda, sia da un punto di vista comunicativo che da un punto di vista SEO, i social media e i clienti dei concorrenti. Dai risultati è emerso che, anche se in maniera differente, la qualità SEO dei siti dei concorrenti è piuttosto buona, mentre l’accuratezza e l’esaustività di questi, da una prospettiva più legata alla comunicazione, non sono sempre messe al primo posto. Sui social media, invece, quasi tutti i competitor possiedono un profilo più o meno attivo e curato, anche se, in molti casi, è presente una discrepanza per quanto riguarda il numero di follower e il numero di “mi piace”. Mentre la circoscrizione geografica dei clienti della maggioranza dei concorrenti è eterogenea, le Industry a cui si rivolgono, in certi casi sono alquanto simili tra loro. Infine, il tasso di fidelizzazione dei clienti dei concorrenti è piuttosto basso.

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to answer two main research questions: what are the most appropriate parameters to take into consideration for carrying out a benchmarking between Ultra and its competitors and why, based on certain parameters, it can be stated one company is performing better than another. After briefly introducing the topic of Metaverse and explaining what the Ultra company does, a benchmarking of some case studies was carried out. Once Ultra's main competitors have been identified and analysed, the most suitable parameters to take into consideration to perform the benchmark between the competitors and the company in question were established. The websites of each company were examined, both from a communication point of view and from a SEO point of view, the social media and the customers of the competitors. The results showed that, although in a different way, SEO quality of competitors sites is quite good, while the accuracy and exhaustiveness of these, from a perspective more linked to communication, are not always put first. On social media, however, almost all competitors have a more or less active and well-kept profile, even if, in many cases, there is a discrepancy regarding the number of followers and the number of "likes". While the geographical constituency of the customers of the majority of competitors is heterogeneous, the industries they address are in some cases quite similar to each other. Finally, the customer retention rate of competitors is quite low.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
