What is content gap analysis?
Content gap analysis is the process of identifying missing or underperforming content on your website compared to what your target audience is searching for — or what competitors are already covering. The goal is to identify opportunities to create or enhance content that more effectively meets user intent, thereby improving visibility, engagement, and conversions.
In practice, it helps you:
- Identify keywords your site isn’t ranking for but should be.
- Discover topics your competitors are ranking for that you’re not.
- Improve existing pages that are underperforming.
- Meet audience needs across different stages of the buyer’s journey.
It’s commonly used in SEO, content marketing, competitive analysis, and AI and LLM analysis to close the gap between what you have and what your audience wants.
What is competitor analysis?
Competitor analysis is the process of researching and evaluating your competitors to understand their strengths, weaknesses, strategies, and market positioning. The goal is to gain insights that help you improve your own marketing, product offerings, and overall business strategy.
In marketing, competitor analysis typically includes:
It helps you identify opportunities to differentiate your brand, capitalize on weaknesses, and anticipate market trends, making it essential for staying competitive and refining your marketing strategy.
