The Problem

Your competitors already did the keyword research

Every keyword they rank for is a vote that the term has demand, decent intent, and is realistically rankable in your niche. The shortcut is seeing exactly what they targeted that you didn't.

Keyword research from scratch is slow

Brainstorming, seed expansion, volume checks — hours to build a list, and you still don't know if you're targeting the right terms or fighting the wrong competitors.

Your competitors quietly rank for hundreds of keywords

While you guess at topics, your competitors are ranking on page 1 for terms you've never heard of. Without a gap view, you keep targeting your guesses instead of the keywords already proven to convert in your niche.

Generic gap tools dump every keyword on you

Most tools surface every keyword a competitor ranks for — including ones you already rank for, and ones you can't touch. You waste time filtering manually.

Saved keywords go nowhere

Even when you find a great gap, getting that keyword into a written article means copy-pasting between tabs. Friction kills follow-through.

How It Works

Their playbook, in your dashboard

Three competitor URLs in. A list of winnable keywords flowing into your article writer out.

1

Add up to 3 competitors

Drop in 1-3 competitor domains — direct rivals, adjacent players, or niche leaders. We pull every keyword each one ranks for straight from live SERPs.

2

We compute the gap

Keywords competitors rank for that you don't. Each row shows search volume, KD, intent, and how many of your competitors rank for it — multiple competitors = stronger signal.

3

Live SERP per keyword

Expand any row to see the actual top 10 ranking pages and 12-month volume trend. Cluster results into topics with one click for content-pillar planning.

4

Star, write, or schedule

Star the strongest gaps. Click 'Write article' to send the full keyword context to the Article Writer. Or 'Add to calendar' to slot it into AutoBlog. Saved keywords flow to the writer's empty state.

What's Inside

Built for shipping articles, not exporting CSVs

Live SERP data, per-competitor stats, multi-competitor signals, and a workflow that ends in published articles — not a stranded spreadsheet.

Up to 3 competitors per analysis

Track direct rivals, adjacent players, or niche leaders side-by-side. Add or swap competitors any time — each new analysis pulls fresh SERP data.

True gap view

See exactly the set of keywords your competitors rank for that you don't. No overlap noise, no irrelevant rows — just the gap.

Per-competitor stats

Each competitor card shows raw rank count → after-gap-filter count. So you know upfront which competitor opens the biggest opportunity.

Multi-competitor signals

Each row shows how many of your competitors rank for that keyword. Multiple competitors = stronger demand signal and clearer category opportunity.

Live SERP positions

Pulled live at request time. So you're always working from current rankings, not a stale snapshot.

Volume + KD + intent

Search volume, keyword difficulty, and inferred intent (informational, commercial, transactional, navigational) on every gap row.

12-month volume trend

Mini sparkline shows whether each gap keyword is rising, falling, or stable. Catch trending opportunities before competitors lock them in.

Live SERP preview

Expand any row to see the actual top 10 ranking pages for that keyword. Spot intent mismatches and content angles before you write.

Multi-country support

Auto-detected from your site, override per session for any country. Run gap analysis per market — German rankings don't pollute your US gap list.

Local SEO mode

Local businesses get a different recommendation logic — KD matters less when you're competing on relevance and proximity, not raw authority.

AI keyword clustering

One click groups gap keywords into topic clusters. Plan content pillars and hub-and-spoke architectures around the gaps your competitors leave.

Search & filter the list

Filter the gap by KD range, volume, intent, or which competitors rank for it. Find the exact slice you want to attack first.

Save with one star

Star a keyword and the full keyword profile saves to your favorites pool. Saved keywords appear in the Article Writer empty state.

One-click to Article Writer

Click the pen icon on any row to start an article with the keyword context (volume, KD, intent, monthly trend) already attached. No re-research.

Slot to AutoBlog calendar

Add any gap keyword directly to your content calendar. AutoBlog will generate and publish on the date you pick.

CSV export

Export the full gap list (or just selected rows) to CSV. Useful for sharing with collaborators or running offline analysis in a spreadsheet.

Refresh any time

Re-run the gap analysis any time — useful after you ship a batch of articles to see which gaps you've closed. Counts as one query against the surface quota.
