Using the Free Tier
If you rely on Google Search Console (GSC) alone, you've probably stared at thousands—even millions—of queries and thought, "Where do I even start?" Content Raptor's free tier cuts through that noise. We blend your GSC data with on-page analysis and a pinch of manual input to surface only the highest-impact opportunities for your site. Here's a quick tour of what you get, how to use it, and why even a few minutes inside the free plan can pay off in serious traffic gains.
1. Meet the Opportunity Table
When you land in the app, the first thing you'll see looks familiar: Query, URL, Clicks, Impressions, Click-through Rate (CTR), Position—the standard GSC set. But two extra columns make all the difference:
- Potential Traffic Gain: Estimates the additional monthly visitors you'd earn if you ranked #1 with a reasonable CTR. Think of it as your traffic-gap scoreboard.
- Found in Page Text: Flags whether any variation of the query appears on your ranking page. No mention? You've uncovered low-hanging fruit.
Example: One of our demo queries shows a 3,000+ monthly visitor gap—and none of its six keyword variants are used on-page. That's an instant optimization target.
2. How We Detect Keyword Variants (and Why It Matters)
Other tools hunt for the exact query string. We go wider. For every keyword, Content Raptor rounds up all close variants GSC already associates with your page—think "free SERP checker," "SERP checker free," "SERPs checker free," and so on. We then scan your content for any of those phrases. The result:
- More comprehensive coverage – Google treats these as one intent cluster, so you should too.
- Less chance of missing easy wins – A single mention of a variant can push your relevance score over the edge.
3. First Action Steps: Add & Expand
- Add missing phrases. If "free SERP checker" isn't on the page, work it in naturally—headline, H2, intro, image alt text, wherever it fits.
- Tweak awkward wording. Nobody loves "SERP checker free." Flip it to "free SERP checker" and you're set.
- Plan new pages when necessary. Seeing searches for "SERP Robot alternative"? Spin up a focused comparison page. You'll capture intent and satisfy users.
Worried about keyword stuffing? One clean usage won't trigger alarms. We'll cover deeper on-page tactics in future videos.
4. High Opportunity Pages View – Your Efficiency Booster
Prefer tackling one page at a time? Switch to High Opportunity Pages:
- Page-level traffic gap – Instantly spot which URLs could deliver the biggest lifts (one demo page shows a 19,000-visitor upside).
- Current vs. potential traffic – Gauge how much you're leaving on the table right now.
- Hover pop-ups – Mouse over any keyword to see its projected daily visitor bump.
Focus a single afternoon on optimizing the top page or two, then check back in four to five weeks. You'll be surprised how quickly rankings respond.
