Find Growth Gaps vs Competitors

Discover the specific opportunities your competitors are capturing that you're missing.

The Problem

You know competitors are growing faster. You can see it in their traffic, their customer base, their momentum.

But when you try to figure out exactly what they're doing differently, you get vague answers: "Better marketing." "More content." "Stronger brand."

What you need are specific gaps — the exact opportunities they're capturing that you're not.

Why Most Gap Analysis Fails

Most gap analysis is too broad or too narrow:

  • Too broad: "They have better SEO." Okay, but what does that mean you should do?
  • Too narrow: "They rank for keyword X." Great, but is that keyword worth targeting?

What you need is prioritized gaps — opportunities that are both significant and actionable.

Common Mistakes in Finding Gaps

Mistake #1: Listing gaps without prioritizing them

You find 50 things they do that you don't. Now you're overwhelmed instead of focused.

Mistake #2: Focusing on features, not demand

They have a feature you don't. But is that feature driving their growth, or is it irrelevant?

Mistake #3: Ignoring your strengths

You try to copy everything they do. You lose what makes you different.

How to Identify Growth Gaps

Good gap analysis answers three questions:

1. What demand are they capturing that you're not?

Which search terms, customer questions, and market segments are they owning?

2. How significant is each gap?

Is this a high-value opportunity or a nice-to-have?

3. How quickly can you close it?

Is this a quick win, a medium-term project, or a long-term investment?

The best gaps are high-value and fast to close.

What You Get from Gap Analysis

  • A prioritized list of opportunities worth pursuing
  • Clear understanding of which gaps matter most
  • Confidence in where to invest your time and resources
  • A roadmap of quick wins and strategic moves
