What is a Keyword Gap Analysis?

A Keyword Gap Analysis identifies commercial keywords your competitors rank for that your website does not target. The analysis shows search terms customers in Kenya use to find competitors, providing a data-driven basis for a content strategy.

What a Keyword Gap Analysis Identifies

We conduct a detailed keyword gap analysis and deliver an actionable content plan. Our process uses current data from Ahrefs and SEMrush to build a strategy based on competitor performance.

Keyword Gaps

We identify valuable commercial keywords your competitors rank for that your site does not target. These represent direct opportunities to capture new traffic.

Weak Keywords

We isolate search terms where you rank, but competitors rank significantly higher. This signals existing pages that require immediate improvement to gain market share.

Unique Strengths

We compile keywords you rank for that competitors have missed. These represent areas of market strength to fortify and defend.

Action Plan Deliverable

We deliver a prioritised action plan in a Google Sheet. The plan maps new content topics and existing pages to specific keyword opportunities.

How We Conduct the Keyword Gap Analysis

Our method moves from analysis to action within five business days. The process is managed by our in-house SEO team with results detailed in our case studies.

  1. Competitor Nomination (Day 1): You provide your primary domain and a list of two to five direct competitors.
  2. Data Extraction & Analysis (Days 2-3): We run the competitive analysis using Ahrefs and SEMrush. We extract keyword data, search volumes, and ranking positions.
  3. Opportunity Segmentation (Day 4): Our team segments the data into gaps, weaknesses, and strengths. We prioritise the list based on commercial intent and ranking difficulty.
  4. Deliverable Handover (Day 5): We deliver the final report, which includes the master Google Sheet with strategic recommendations. We then schedule a call to present the findings.
