Research Topic Cluster Gap Analysis
Use services, audiences, workflows, and pain points to find useful Research topics without creating near-duplicate pages.
Headline signal: 5 gap fields: audience, workflow, pain point, evidence, intent (Google Search Central: Creating helpful content).
Methodology: gap analysis starts from the site’s existing service map and compares reader intent with available authoritative evidence.
List the audience and decision first, then map the workflow, pain point, comparison, or use case the article will clarify for that reader.
Compare the proposed title and slug against Research and Blog indexes, sitemaps, and accepted candidates. A new angle must change the question, not just the wording.
Prioritize gaps with a defensible source path and a useful internal handoff to a relevant service or workflow page.
