// competitor-analysis

See what your competitors rank for

Jottler uses DataForSEO domain intersection and ranked keywords endpoints to surface your competitors' entire keyword footprint and find the gaps you need to fill.

Domain intersection

Finds keywords where competitors rank and you don't. These gap keywords become high-priority topic candidates that Jottler can generate articles for immediately.

Ranked keywords

Pulls every keyword a competitor domain currently ranks for, including position, ranking URL, and estimated traffic. Use this to reverse-engineer their entire content strategy.

SERP competitors

For any target keyword, Jottler identifies who currently ranks, analyzes their page-level strengths, and uses those signals to structure your article for a competitive edge.

How keyword data feeds into every article

Primary keywords

The main target keyword for each article, selected for optimal volume-to-difficulty ratio within your niche. This drives the article's H1, URL slug, and meta title.

Secondary keywords

Supporting terms woven naturally throughout the article body to capture long-tail traffic and reinforce topical relevance without keyword stuffing.

Related questions

People Also Ask and question-format keywords used to build FAQ sections, structured data, and conversational content that targets voice search and AI answers.

The research agent selects primary, secondary, and related keywords before writing begins. The writer agent weaves them naturally into headings, body paragraphs, and FAQ sections. The SEO agent verifies keyword density and placement in a final optimization pass.
