How it works
- Sitemap-first extraction: fetches
/sitemap.xml, follows nested sitemap indexes, falls back to homepage link crawl if no sitemap. - Slug-based topic comparison: extracts the meaningful slug from each URL (last path segment, cleaned).
- Set diff: identifies slugs unique to the competitor.
- AI ranking: Claude Sonnet 4.6 filters out low-value slugs (login, terms, tags), prioritises matches with your target audience, and suggests sharper post titles than the competitor uses.
Inputs
- your_url: your homepage URL
- competitor_urls: array of up to 5 competitor homepage URLs
- your_target_audience: one paragraph describing who you write for. The AI uses this to prioritise gaps that matter for your audience.
- max_pages_per_site: default 60. Higher = more coverage but slower and more compute.
- max_concurrency: default 2. Number of competitors processed in parallel.
Use cases
- Quarterly content strategy: pick your top 5 competitors, get a 50-gap ranked backlog.
- New-site launch: see what the category leader covers that you do not.
- Agency client onboarding: ship the gap report as a $500 deliverable, spend $2.50 to make it.
- Programmatic SEO planning: pull 100s of competitor slugs and prioritise which to write first.
What this actor does NOT do
- It does not check search volume against Google. Use Ahrefs or Keyword Planner for hard volume numbers. The
estimated_search_volume_bandis an AI estimate, not a measured value. - It does not write the posts. Pair this with your existing AI writing workflow.
- It does not crawl behind authentication. Public sitemaps only.
- It does not check current rankings. Use a rank tracker for that.
