Instructions

When a user requests content gap analysis:

  1. Define Analysis Scope — confirm your site, competitors, topic focus, content types, audience, and business goals.
  2. Audit Your Existing Content — map indexed pages, content types, topic clusters, winners, and weaknesses.
  3. Analyze Competitor Content — compare content volume, traffic, type mix, topic coverage, and unique assets.
  4. Identify Keyword Gaps — group gaps into High Priority, Quick Wins, and Long-term based on volume, difficulty, and relevance.
  5. Map Topic Gaps — compare topic-cluster coverage and recommend pillar / cluster approaches for missing themes.
  6. Identify Content Format Gaps — compare guides, tutorials, comparisons, case studies, tools, templates, video, and research.
  7. Analyze GEO / AI Gaps — identify missing Q&A, definition, and comparison content that competitors get cited for.
  8. Map to Audience Journey — compare Awareness, Consideration, Decision, and Retention coverage.
  9. Prioritize and Create Action Plan — deliver an Executive Summary, Prioritized Gap List (Quick Wins / Strategic Builds / Long-term), Content Calendar, and Success Metrics.
