What are content gaps 

Content gaps are topics which your target audience or customers are looking for on your website, but which your website doesn’t have. These gaps can arise due to many reasons such as outdated information, incomplete research, overlooked topics, or simply not enough details on a certain topic. 

Why is it crucial to find content gaps? 

Content gaps are crucial to find, since addressing the topics that your audience wants to hear about is very important for customer experience and general website performance. Identifying and filling the right content gaps can even have a greatly positive impact on your website’s SEO!

Finding content gaps is important not only for customer service teams, who always need to be prepared to answer questions concerning all sorts of topics, but also for marketing teams. They provide an easy source of inspiration for new content, and content that your audience is already searching for. This improves your website’s SEO performance and puts your company in the position of an expert on a certain topic - which can help you stand out from competition. 

What’s more, addressing content gaps on your website reduces bounce rates, since you are offering your target audience exactly the content they are looking for. 

How to find content gaps on your website? 

There are various ways to find content gaps on your website, and we divide them into two categories - external and internal. The external tools help you identify knowledge gaps based on data outside your website, meanwhile, the internal tools help you identify knowledge gaps based on data already available on your website. 

External tools include: 

1. Free SEO tools such as Ahrefs or Semrush 

Harness the power of free SEO tools like Ahrefs or Semrush to propel your website's visibility to new heights. With these tools, you can conduct comprehensive keyword analysis, comparing your keyword usage with that of your competitors. By leveraging this invaluable data, you'll pinpoint the precise topics where your website may be falling short.

2. Manual search on competitors' websites

This one is slightly more time-consuming- an analysis strategy by conducting a thorough examination of your rivals' websites. You can explore their content themes, featured topics, and latest posts manually to gain valuable insights into their SEO tactics and content strategies. This meticulous process allows you to identify key areas where you can optimize your website to improve search engine visibility and outperform your competitors in the digital landscape
