I run this in Sonar Pro before writing any content brief. It maps what actually ranks for the query and why — cut my brief prep from two hours to about twenty minutes.
Live-search analysis of what ranks for a keyword: dominant intent, content format, shared subtopics, and the gap a new page could own.
SERP Intent Decoder
Using live web search, analyze the current top results for the keyword below and decode what the search engine is rewarding. I need evidence, not SEO folklore.
Keyword: {{keyword}}
Market / language: {{market}}
My site's angle: {{site_context}}
Report in five sections:
1. **Intent verdict.** Classify the dominant intent (informational / commercial investigation / transactional / navigational) and back it with what actually appears: are the top results guides, category pages, comparison posts, tools, forum threads? If intent is mixed, give the split you observe.
2. **Format pattern.** For the top results you can identify: content type, approximate depth (skim vs comprehensive), and any repeated structural elements — comparison tables, calculators, FAQs, step lists. What format is table stakes?
3. **Shared subtopics.** Which subtopics appear across most top results? These are the must-cover items for any brief.
4. **The gap.** What question or angle related to this keyword do the current results handle badly or not at all? Look for: outdated info, thin answers to follow-up questions, missing audience segments, absent data or original examples. Be specific — 'more depth' is not a gap.
5. **Brief skeleton.** A working title, target format, H2 outline covering the shared subtopics plus the gap, and one sentence on what would make this page the one worth citing.
Where you cannot verify something from search results, say so rather than guessing. Note anything that suggests the SERP is volatile or seasonal.

## SERP decode: "crm für kleine unternehmen" (DE market)
**1. Intent verdict: commercial investigation, ~80/20.** The visible top results are dominated by listicle comparisons ("Die 10 besten CRM...") from software review platforms and two vendor category pages. One informational guide ("Was ist ein CRM?") hangs on, suggesting a residual informational slice. Nobody buying-ready lands here — they are shortlisting.
**2. Format pattern.** Table stakes: comparison listicle, 8–12 tools, with a feature/price table near the top, per-tool sections of 150–250 words, and an FAQ block. Most results maintain a "last updated" date within the past quarter — freshness is actively signaled. Two results include a filterable selector or quiz element ("Welches CRM passt zu mir?").
**3. Shared subtopics.** Appearing across nearly all top results: pricing tiers with free-plan availability, DSGVO compliance and data location, ease of setup without IT, email integration, mobile app quality. DSGVO handling is universal — a shallow paragraph in most, but always present.
**4. The gap.** Three concrete openings: (a) every comparison tests tools generically — none segments by team type (a 4-person Handwerksbetrieb vs a 15-person agency have opposite needs, and no result acknowledges it); (b) DSGVO sections are copy-paste disclaimers, not actual assessments of data location and AVV terms per vendor — verifiable, rarely verified; (c) migration effort from spreadsheets is mentioned by users in the one forum thread visible, and answered by no ranking page.
**5. Brief skeleton.**
- **Title:** "CRM für kleine Unternehmen: Der Vergleich nach Team-Typ (2026)"
- **Format:** comparison listicle with a decision-path intro, per-segment recommendations
- **H2s:** Welcher Team-Typ sind Sie? / Vergleichstabelle / Die Tools im Detail (segmentiert) / DSGVO-Check: Wo liegen Ihre Daten wirklich / Umstieg von Excel: Aufwand ehrlich eingeschätzt / FAQ
- **Citation-worthiness:** the DSGVO table with verified data locations and AVV links per vendor — original, checkable, and something the review platforms cannot easily copy without doing the work.
**Volatility note:** two results shifted position between checks; the quiz-element pages appear to be gaining. Treat format innovation as live.

Section 4 discipline is what sells this — 'more depth is not a gap' should be tattooed on every content team's wall.

Ran it for three briefs this week. The shared-subtopics section basically writes the H2 skeleton for me, and the gap finding was different every time. Keeper.
