📊 Types of Content Gaps

Keyword Gap
Keywords competitors rank for that you don't. Often the quickest wins.
Example: Competitor ranks for "psilocybin microdose schedule" but you don't have content on this.
📝
Topic Gap
Entire subjects or themes your site doesn't cover but should.
Example: No content on "mushroom cultivation for beginners" while competitors have full guides.
📐
Format Gap
Content types you're missing: videos, infographics, calculators, etc.
Example: Competitors have dosage calculators but you only have text guides.
