On "How to find competitor keywords and close visibility gaps"
Competitor keyword research is table stakes, not a visibility gap closer — the real work is figuring out *why* competitors rank and whether those keywords actually matter for your business model. Tracking what search terms drive traffic to competitors tells you almost nothing without understanding intent alignment, conversion funnel position, and whether you're even playing the same game they are.
