# Competitor and topical gap

Classify rivals as organic SERP competitors, direct offer competitors, substitute products, or benchmark brands. Preserve the distinction.

Discover Semrush `competitors_research.domain_organic_organic`, `domain_domains`, optionally `backlinks_matrix`, and targeted `organic_research.resource_organic_unique`. Use actual schemas, dates, country and user-allowed API units. With no data, inspect public pages and label the evidence level; do not invent shared-keyword counts, backlinks, traffic or platform penetration.

Map query clusters to our product capabilities, content format, credibility and conversion path. Identify missing topics, weak pages, authority gaps and genuinely distinctive experience assets. Compare claims to source data and legitimate brand strengths.

Return a compact gap matrix with competitor type, opportunity, data source, source date, acceptance criterion, and the highest-value next action. Feed opportunities into `growth-opportunity-portfolio`.
