Content Gap Analysis: finding What You Missed

A content gap analysis identifies keywords and topics that your competitors rank for but you do not. It reveals blind spots in your content strategy and highlights opportunities to steal market share.

The three types of gaps

  • Keyword Gap: "Competitor A ranks for 'best crm for startups' and we don't."
  • Topical Gap: "They have a whole hub on 'Email Marketing' and we only have one blog post."
  • Content Quality Gap: "We both cover this, but their guide has video, templates, and expert quotes, and ours is thin."

How to execute

  • Use tools like Ahrefs/Semrush "Content Gap" tool.
  • Filter for high-intent keywords (ignore irrelevant volume).
  • Prioritize gaps where you can realistically create better content, not just copycat content.
