When there is no content gap and the pages is ranking poorly, where would you look next to improve this page in the serps?

[@davenilsson5443]

Sam you legend as always!

[@AhrefsCom]

Thanks, David :) Always good to hear from you.

[@kingryanarthur]

Super sweet Sam! Thanks for the detailed video on content gap analysis. Say, are there any tweaks you'd make to this for ecomm sites?

[@AhrefsCom]

Hey Arthur. All of these should work for eCommerce pages.

[@GrowthHackerNomad]

I love content gap. Is the tool I use the most besides the Backlink checker.

[@AhrefsCom]

Yes! One of our seemingly 'lighter' tools, but extremely powerful!

[@digitalmarketingintamil8339]

[@bappyfahad2253]

wonderful !!

[@AhrefsCom]

Isn't it? We love Content Gap too :)

[@knavyasri7786]

Hey Sam, At 2:44, you said that SEO copywriting and video SEO stand out. May I know on what basis they stand out?

[@AhrefsCom]

Stand out for our website :) - SQ

[@maxhoffer2200]

Is it better to have the article titles under a "blog" section in the URL or just have them straight as a subdomain?

[@AhrefsCom]

You probably meant subfolder, not subdomain. I would use it under /blog/ just to give a visitor a better understanding of where he is at. This is some sort of navigation which, in my opinion, helps to achieve a better user experience. As for rankings, I do not think it matters. - Max

[@veroniqueleneart4535]

Hi Sam, still looking good :). Thanks for explaining this feature. Highly appreciated! I just have one question on which I can't seem to find an answer online. How safe is it to use expired, unique content from archive.org on your money site? The content has passed copyscape and is surely unique. It has been deindexed by Google. In a previous life it has been used on other websites, so it was indexed by Google before. Some say it's safe, others don't. Can you please give me clarification regarding this :)? Thanks in advance!

[@AhrefsCom]

I believe that would still be plagiarism. So beyond "duplicate content," it can potentially lead you to all sorts of other trouble.

[@MatheusBertoluci]

Awesome!

[@AhrefsCom]

Thanks, Matheus.

[@CharlesSipe1]

When I did the trial the Content Gap tool would only show the first 10 keywords with the Lite subscription. Do I have to upgrade to the $179 plan to see all the keywords?

[@AhrefsCom]

You are right about the limits. For more data in Content Gap report you need to choose one of the following plans - Standard - 50 results Advanced - 50K results Agency - 100K results

[@samsamo1191]

Hello, if I want to rank for a keyword with city, let's say for example: "mobile repair in city A", then I make other landingpage and optimize for the keyword "mobile repair in city B" and then agian other landingpage and optimize for the keyword "mobile repair in city C" and so on. is that good or it will harm the general keyword "mobile repair" Thanks

[@AhrefsCom]

There are a lot of different variables in this situation. Your best bet is to look in Keywords Explorer and look at the parent topics, SERPs, etc. I recommend watching this series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aauvc6iVg8uCl7M

[@Chandankumar88]
