What is Sitemap Gap?

Sitemaps list every page a website wants search engines to find. Visiblio Sitemap Gap reads yours and your competitors' sitemaps, turns page addresses into topics, and shows which topics competitors have pages for and you are missing.

Topics covered by more competitors are ranked higher, and you can add your Search Console impressions and Google volumes to see which gaps are worth building first.

Why use Sitemap Gap

Up to four competitors

Enter a website address, a sitemap address or an uploaded file for sites that block bots.

Topics, not just URLs

Pages are grouped by what they are about, so product pages do not drown the result.

Closest page you have

See whether you already have a similar page before creating a new one.

Suggested address

Each gap comes with a suggested address for the new page.

Impressions and volume

Add your own Search Console data and Google volumes to rank the gaps.

Frequently asked questions about Sitemap Gap

What is a content gap analysis?

A content gap analysis compares the topics your website covers with those of your competitors to find subjects they rank for and you have no page about.

How does Visiblio find competitor topics?

It reads the sitemaps of the websites you enter, converts page addresses into topics, and groups similar pages. Product pages are excluded so the list shows real topic gaps.

What if a competitor blocks automated visits?

You can upload their sitemap or page list as a file instead and Visiblio will use it in the same way.

Can I use my own Search Console data?

Yes. Connect Search Console to see impressions for related searches beside each gap, and add Google volumes to judge demand.

Is Sitemap Gap free?

You can start for free. Plans set how many comparisons and competitors you can use each month.
