Content Discovery helps you find content gaps and opportunities across your website and competitors. Use it when you want to know what content to create, improve, or prioritize.

What Content Discovery is for

Content Discovery helps you understand where your website may be missing opportunities. It can help you find:
  • content gaps
  • weak positions
  • partially covered topics
  • covered topics
  • competitor opportunities
  • page-specific opportunities
This helps you decide what content work is worth doing next.

Main scan types

Content Discovery includes three main scan types.

Auto Scan

Auto Scan reviews your website and strategy keywords to find broad content opportunities. Use it when you want Serpy to scan for gaps and opportunities across your site.

Competitor Scan

Competitor Scan compares your website against selected competitors. Use it when you want to find topics competitors cover that your website may be missing.

Page Targeting

Page Targeting analyzes a specific URL. Use it when you want to find opportunities connected to one page, such as a competitor page or a page you want to improve.

Result categories

Content Discovery results may be grouped into categories such as:
  • Content gaps
  • Weak positions
  • Partial coverage
  • Covered topics
These categories help you decide what kind of action may be needed.

Content gaps

Content gaps are topics your website may not cover well enough. These are often good candidates for new content.

Weak positions

Weak positions are topics where your website may have some presence, but not enough strength. These may be good candidates for content improvement.

Partial coverage

Partial coverage means your website may cover part of a topic, but not fully. These may be good candidates for expanding or improving existing content.

Covered topics

Covered topics are areas where your website already has meaningful coverage. These may not need immediate action. A simple Content Discovery workflow is:
  1. Choose the scan type.
  2. Run the scan.
  3. Review the result categories.
  4. Start with content gaps or weak positions.
  5. Choose opportunities that match your business.
  6. Generate an outline or improve an existing page.

Tips

Use Auto Scan for a broad review. Use Competitor Scan to find competitor-led gaps. Use Page Targeting for one specific URL. Focus on opportunities tied to your services, products, or audience. Do not create content for every gap. Prioritize what matters.
