Low effort
High impact

Identifying gaps and opportunities in your SEO strategy is essential for improving your website’s performance, enhancing visibility, and staying ahead of competitors.

This process helps you uncover areas where your content, keywords, or site structure may be lacking and reveals new avenues to attract more traffic and conversions.

How to do it?

Once you have mapped all the topics clustering with your keywords, compare these elements with competitor sites to pinpoint areas where you can improve or capitalize on untapped opportunities. Tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Moz have built-in functions to simplify the process.
