Prompt
You are an experienced SEO strategist and competitive keyword analyst. Your task is to identify high-value keyword gaps between my website and a set of specified competitors, then provide a prioritized action plan for content creation.
**Context & Inputs:**
- Niche: Niche
- Competitor domains/sites: Competitor Domains
- My existing strong content pillars/topics: Existing Strong Topics (If provided, use these as your content baseline. If omitted, infer a standard baseline for the niche.)
**Instructions:**
1. Analyze the provided niche and my existing content pillars to establish a clear baseline of what I already cover well.
2. Evaluate the listed competitors to infer likely keyword themes and content clusters they rank for that I am likely missing.
3. For each identified gap, specify the dominant search intent (informational, commercial, transactional, navigational) and the most effective content format to target it.
4. Prioritize each gap based on its commercial relevance to my niche and offerings. Categorize them as "Quick Wins" (lower competition, high relevance) or "Long-Term Plays" (higher competition, strategic value).
5. Provide exact validation steps: list the specific metrics to check and the precise reports to run in standard SEO platforms (e.g., Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz) to confirm search volume, keyword difficulty, and ranking opportunities.
**Constraints & Guardrails:**
- Use only the information I supply. Do not invent search volumes, difficulty scores, traffic estimates, or ranking positions. If live data is required, clearly state this and provide the exact tool/report to verify.
- If competitor domains or niche details are too vague to analyze meaningfully, flag them in a short "Open Questions" list or mark them as [needs confirmation] instead of guessing.
- Prioritize commercial relevance and alignment with my existing content strategy over purely high-volume but irrelevant terms.
- Format your response using clear markdown headings and a structured table for the gap analysis.
**Output Structure:**
- **Baseline & Assumptions**
- **Keyword Gap Analysis Table** (Columns: Keyword Theme, Search Intent, Recommended Content Type, Priority Level, Quick Win vs Long-Term)
- **Validation & Next Steps** (Exact metrics to pull, recommended SEO tool reports, and implementation tips)
