Content gap

Also known as: content gap · information gap

Missing information or a topic the audience needs at a particular decision stage.

A practical example

Competitors explain delivery, but the brand's website omits timelines.

What should I know?

A gap should matter to customers, not just increase content volume.

Keywords and intent in practice

Look at the task behind the user's words. Learning, comparing offers, and buying require different information. Match the page to that task, not just search volume.
