PERFORMANCE AND SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING

Find competitive content gaps

SEO experts and content strategists struggle to identify topics that no one has covered but should be covered: topics that are ripe with opportunity but haven’t gotten the attention they deserve.

Also a struggle? Figuring out what your competitor does better than you do and then formulating a plan to pull ahead of them.

Scan your competitors’ content, without reading their site

You don't have the time to go through a competitors' entire site and blog to figure out what they have and haven't covered. Nor can you quickly formulate a plan to do what they've already done better.

MarketMuse does the deep dive reading for you, shows you just how your content measures up, and then tells you just what you need to do to outmaneuver the competition.

Benefits and key features

Heatmaps sort what’s missing

Visualize gaps with heatmaps that are easy to read. Analysis at the SERP level sheds light on how the top 20 results cover a particular subject, while site-level analysis uncovers an individual competitors’ content cluster. You’re poised to sort by what’s lacking to find your competitive advantage.

Cluster analysis

SERP only tells you so much. Apply filters to see exactly how any website covers a topic. From there, you can see what clusters of content have the most opportunity. You’ll see just how multiple pages can build your authority and gain exposure.

Most common use cases

Quantitative meets qualitative

A content score for each page in a cluster indicates how well it covers the topic.
