Most content teams don’t have a content problem. They have a coverage problem. You publish consistently, your pages are technically sound, and yet competitors keep surfacing for queries you never thought to target. That invisible shortfall between what your audience searches for and what you’ve actually written is the gap. Finding it is one of…

Most sites don’t have a content problem. They have a structure problem.
