*Chapter 7 of the Local SEO, AEO & GEO course notes, from Sir Khurram
Malik's advanced AI usage lecture.*

## Sir's message

Do not skip live sessions. Once you fall behind, it is hard to become
regular again. Show dedication.[^khurram-notes]

## The main concept

Find where competitors are weak, cover those gaps, and give better content
and better UX for a better ranking.[^khurram-notes]

Google's focus is to **reduce the user's cost of retrieval**: complete
topics, complete answers, complete UX, all in one place.[^khurram-notes]

## Real user data: the gold mine for content

**Sources:** Reddit, Quora, YouTube, Medium, LinkedIn, PAA, Behance.

From these platforms, collect questions, pain points, problems, experiences
and expectations.[^khurram-notes]

## Stage 1: competitor GMB reviews analysis

1. Open your website dashboard, ChatGPT and GSC.
2. Search Google for **primary keyword + city** and identify the
   competitors.
3. Read their reviews: why 5 stars? Why 2 or 3 stars? What are the pain
   points?

Positive and negative reviews are **equally** important.[^khurram-notes]

### The prompt sequence

**Prompt 1: AI warm-up**

```text
You are an SEO expert with decades of experience in local businesses. Update yourself with 2026 trends in SEO, AEO, GEO, EEAT, LLMs, AI Overview, NLP and user intent.
```

**Prompt 2: market research**

```text
I'm a [niche] business in [City]. Please conduct complete market research: business, customers, competitors, local landscape, everything to outperform competitors.
```

**Prompt 3: reviews analysis**

```text
Here are competitor GMB reviews. Identify: semantic entities, pain points, frustrations, what customers appreciate, 5-star reasons, negative review reasons, common problems, expectations. Give me data for: website content, FAQs, semantic entities, blog posts, new pages.
```

**Prompt 4: blog ideas**

```text
Please give me blog post ideas based on this review data.
```

## Stage 2: Google Search Console data

Export your GSC data: queries, pages, countries, keywords,
performance.[^khurram-notes]

**GSC prompt (ChatGPT)**

```text
This is my Search Console data. Website is approx [X] days old. Deeply analyze and suggest priority improvements. Identify: what's working, where weak, which pages need improvement, which keywords need better targeting, which new pages to create.
```

**Claude implementation**

```text
Evaluate these recommendations and implement relevant improvements on my website.
```

> [!TIP]
> ChatGPT for analysis, Claude for implementation: use the two together.

## Stage 3: SEMrush keyword gap

1. Search the primary keyword in SEMrush.
2. Identify the competitors.
3. Run a keyword gap analysis: your site + the competitors.
4. Identify the missing keywords.
5. Export the complete list.[^khurram-notes]

## Stage 4: keyword mapping

**Prompt 1 (first)**

```text
These are my website pages and posts. Keep them in context for the next keyword mapping task. [Paste sitemaps]
```

**Prompt 2 (after)**

```text
These are missing keywords from competitors. Map them with existing pages. Identify: which page targets which keyword, which keywords need new pages, which need blog posts, where to improve current content. [Paste keyword gap export]
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Give the context prompt first: follow the sequence.

## The core formula

> Competitor research + real user data + GSC data + keyword gap + AI
> analysis + implementation
> **= a continuously better website = better rankings = better revenue**

> "Tools only give you data. The actual result depends on your research,
> implementation and consistency." (Sir Khurram Malik)

> [!TIP]
> This is not a one-time process: repeat it continuously, and the website
> and its rankings keep improving.
