Ranking opportunity (rank 5–20)

What it is: a ranking opportunity is an article that already ranks in positions 5–20 for real queries — on page 1 or 2, but not yet winning the clicks. BurstWriter finds these in your Search Console data, sorted by impressions so the biggest opportunities come first.

Why it matters: these are your cheapest wins. The page already has authority and relevance; a focused refresh — more depth, an FAQ targeting the exact queries, better internal links — often lifts it onto page 1, where the vast majority of clicks happen.

Goal: turn near-misses into page-1 rankings without writing anything from scratch.
