The Challange:

The brand wanted to expand into a new product category but had no data on which keywords to target or which competitors were already dominating that space.

What I Did:

  • Keyword gap analysis — identified high-opportunity keywords the brand wasn’t yet targeting.
  • Prioritization — scored opportunities by search volume, competition, and relevance to the brand.
  • Roadmap delivery — packaged findings into a 3-month content and SEO roadmap for the new category.

Results

  • Identified 10 high-opportunity keywords with clear ranking potential
  • Delivered a prioritized 3-month content roadmap guiding the expansion
  • Gave the team a clear competitive benchmark before entering the category

By conducting in-depth competitor mapping, uncovering critical keyword gaps, and scoring search opportunities by volume and relevance, the brand identified 10 high-opportunity keywords with strong ranking potential.
