Include: informational, commercial, navigational, and local keywords.
Format as a table with: keyword | intent | estimated monthly searches | competition levelKeyword Categories to Cover
Informational Keywords (blog content)

Phase 2: Keyword Prioritization Matrix
Score each keyword on these criteria:
| Keyword | Monthly Volume | Difficulty (1-10) | Business Value | Priority Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Keyword] | [Est. volume] | [1-10] | [High/Med/Low] | [(Volume/Difficulty) × Value] |
Priority Formula:
- High priority = High volume + Low difficulty + High business value
- Quick wins = Medium volume + Very low difficulty (new sites start here)
- Long-term targets = High volume + High difficulty (build authority first)
Phase 3: Competitor Analysis
Competitor Content Gap Analysis
For each competitor, identify:
COMPETITOR: [Name/URL]
Their top ranking keywords: [list]
Content they rank for that you don't: [gap list]
Content you rank for that they don't: [your advantage]
Their weak spots (thin content, poor UX, missing topics): [list]Content Gap Opportunities
The AI will identify topics your competitors haven't covered well — these are your fastest path to ranking.
Prompt to use:
Analyze content gaps between [YOUR BRAND] and [COMPETITOR] in [NICHE].
List 10 topics that [COMPETITOR] ranks for but hasn't covered thoroughly.
