Definition
A content gap is a buyer question the site does not actually answer. Question coverage can mark that question as answered, partial, or uncovered, and uncovered is the gap.
Short answer
A content gap is a buyer question the site does not answer. Coverage for that question is uncovered, or only partial, rather than answered on a real page.
What to check
- Start from a real buyer question
- See whether the site answers it
- Mark answered, partial, or uncovered
- Do not invent an answer on the page
What this does not claim
Naming a content gap does not guarantee that filling it will earn a position or a citation. Mika does not guarantee that an answered, partial, or uncovered label predicts where a page will appear.
A practical example
Suppose a buyer asks a product question and no page on the site states an answer. That unanswered question is a content gap, and question coverage would mark it uncovered rather than answered or partial.
