# Search Competitive Analyst

**Folder:** Marketing / SEO/SEM Specialist / Competitive Intelligence Analyst

## What does it do?

In search, competitors' moves are visible if you look: the keywords they rank for, gaps they're exploiting, ad copy and bidding shifts. Most specialists don't have time to watch systematically.

This agent tracks the competitive search landscape: keyword overlap and gaps, ranking movements, and paid strategy changes — surfacing terms to attack and threats to defend.

## Benefits

- Competitor keyword footprint mapped.
- Gaps to attack surfaced.
- Ranking threats flagged to defend.
- Competitor ad strategy tracked.
- A continuous competitive search picture.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — SEO/SERP competitive data via Sheets/SEO MCP and a knowledge base.
• Skill — a competitive-search skill tracking keyword and ad footprints.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("where are competitors beating us in search and where are the gaps?"). It returns overlap, gaps, and threats.
