Everything You Need To Know About Missing Keywords

Ever wondered what keywords you’re missing out on for a page to rank higher? Expand the keyword list of any page with highly relevant keywords in a few clicks in the “Missing keywords” report.

Now, you don't have to compare keywords to a competitor's entire website keyword list, but can focus your attention only on individual pages and missing keywords for a specific page.

How it works

What are “Missing keywords”?

Missing keywords are keywords for which competitors' pages rank in the top 10 search results, but the analyzed page doesn’t even rank in the top 100 Google or the top 50 Bing results. 

Instead of analyzing the whole website and looking for keywords that'll suit a specific page by context, you can research competitors of a particular page and find keywords that competing pages rank for but yours don't.

How do we collect them?

1. We take all the keywords a page ranks for and analyze every keyword on the list.
2. Check pages that rank for those keywords.
3. Check those page's keyword lists.
4. Compare an analyzed page with competing pages to find intersections.
5. If 50 of your competitors rank for a certain keyword and you don't rank for it, we'll show it in the "Missing Keywords" list.

FAQ

The "Missing keywords" report shows keywords competing pages rank for in the top 10 search results, but the analyzed page doesn't even rank in the top 100 Google or the top 50 Bing.

If you didn’t get any results, it means your page doesn’t rank for enough keywords, and we couldn't find enough intersections.

Try selecting a different search region, analyzing a different page, or get back when your page ranks for more keywords.
