Finding Your Best Opportunities
Posted November 20, 2025Updated November 21, 2025By Zak Kann
Content Raptor uses your actual ranking data to identify "Quick Wins"—keywords where you are close to Page 1 but not quite there.
Two Ways to Find Opportunities
1. Keyword Opportunities
Best for: Precision targeting. This view shows individual keywords ranking in positions 11-50.
- Why use it: You want to target a specific term like "best running shoes".
- How to use: Sort by "Potential Gain" to find high-volume terms you are close to ranking for.
2. Page Opportunities
Best for: Holistic page improvement. This view groups keywords by URL. It shows pages that rank for many opportunity keywords.
- Why use it: You want to update an old blog post and capture traffic for 10+ variations at once.
- How to use: Look for pages with a high "Keywords Count" and high "Total Potential Gain".
Selecting the Right Opportunity
Not all opportunities are equal. Look for:
- Position 11-20: These are "striking distance" keywords. A small content update can often push these to Page 1.
- High Search Volume: Prioritize keywords with 100+ monthly searches.
- Relevance: Ensure the keyword actually matches the intent of your page.
Filters & Sorting
Use the table controls to refine your list:
- Search: Find specific terms (e.g., "pricing", "review").
- Position Range: Filter to show only positions 11-20 for easier wins.
- Potential Gain: Sort High-to-Low to maximize ROI.
Next Steps
Once you find a keyword:
- Click "Optimize".
- Complete the Optimization Wizard.
- Write and publish your update.
