AI agent for digital marketing specialists
Competitor Keyword Gap Agent
A prioritized, intent-checked content plan built from competitor gaps
What it does
Competitors keep winning search queries the site does not cover, and finding those gaps by hand takes days of spreadsheet work. Each quarter, or when a new competitor appears, this agent pulls the keywords competitor domains rank for and compares them with the site's own rankings. It removes branded and irrelevant terms, clusters the remaining gaps by topic and checks the current top results to understand search intent. It scores each cluster by volume, difficulty and the relevance score the specialist sets. It then matches clusters against existing pages. If a planned new page overlaps an existing one, it turns that cluster into an update task and rematches, so two pages never compete. The specialist approves the plan before it reaches writers. Edge case: when a competitor ranks only through a forum or a free tool page, the cluster is marked hard to match with an article.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
