• Identify gaps in the top ten results that competitors missed
• Check Reddit, Quora, Facebook groups, and YouTube comments to find real user questions and pain points
• Use Ahrefs and SEMrush to validate keywords, check difficulty, and find high ROI topics
• Review industry reports, case studies, and expert insights when the topic needs depth
• Map out a content structure built around user problems and search intent
• Blend ranking patterns, real audience language, and data to create content that stands out
