Find keyword gaps: queries where you rank 11–50 but competitors likely rank 1–10

Surface the best keyword gap opportunities — queries with real search demand where you're on page 2-5 but clearly have topical authority.

The prompt

Copy this and paste it into Claude, Cursor, or any AI client connected to your GenieSeo MCP URL.

prompt
For my main Search Console property, find keyword gap opportunities over the last 28 days:

1. Pull all queries with average position between 11 and 50 AND at least 500 impressions. Group them by the landing page that ranks for each query. For each group, identify:
   - The cluster theme (the shared topic connecting the queries in that group — 3–5 words)
   - The top 3 queries by impressions, with each query's impressions and average position

2. For each landing page group, provide ONE content improvement recommendation from the following options (pick the best fit based on the queries):
   - ADD_SECTION: the page is missing a subtopic the queries imply
   - REWRITE_INTRO: the page covers the topic but the intro doesn't match search intent
   - TARGET_FEATURED_SNIPPET: query phrasing suggests a definition or step-list answer; restructure to win the snippet
   - ADD_FAQ_SCHEMA: multiple question-style queries — FAQ schema would capture PAA boxes

3. For each landing page, identify ONE other page on the same site (already ranking positions 1–10) whose content is most naturally adjacent — that page is the best candidate to add a contextual internal link from.

Sort the final output by total impressions per group descending. Format as one section per landing page, with a summary table at the top.

When to use it

Quarterly content planning. These are your most defensible growth opportunities because you already have some relevance signal — Google just doesn't consider you authoritative enough yet.

What you get back

  • Ranked list of gap queries (position 11–50, 500+ impressions in the last 28 days), grouped by the landing page that currently ranks.
  • Query cluster theme and top 3 queries per landing page group.
  • A content improvement recommendation per page: add section / rewrite intro / target featured snippet / add FAQ schema.
  • The internal page most likely to pass link equity to each gap page via a natural contextual link.

How this runs

GenieSeo doesn't execute prompts — your AI client does. Make sure your MCP URL is connected to Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Antigravity. New here? Read the 60-second setup guide.

Frequently asked questions

How do I run the "Find keyword gaps: queries where you rank 11–50 but competitors likely rank 1–10" prompt?+

Sign up for GenieSeo, connect Google OAuth, paste your MCP URL into Claude or Cursor, then copy the prompt from this page into a new chat. The model will call the relevant Search Console or GA4 tools automatically.

Does this recipe change my Google data?+

No. This recipe only uses read-only Search Console and GA4 scopes. It will not submit sitemaps or modify properties unless you use a separate write-enabled recipe.

What is a GenieSeo recipe?+

A recipe is a copy-paste prompt you run inside Claude, Cursor, or Codex after connecting your GenieSeo MCP URL. It tells the model which Search Console or GA4 tools to call and how to format the answer.

Do I need GenieSeo connected before using a recipe?+

Yes. Sign up at GenieSeo, approve Google OAuth, paste your personal MCP URL into your AI client, then paste the recipe prompt. Without MCP, the model cannot reach live Google data.
