What it answers

Six questions every search budget should be able to answer.

Most cannot. The map exists to answer each of these from data, and to say so plainly when the data does not support an answer.

01

How much commercial demand exists?

Every search people use when they compare, evaluate or buy in your category, grouped by intent and sized by what that attention is worth.

02

Where does it go today?

The sites capturing that demand right now, including the directories, review sites and publishers that take clicks without selling what you sell.

03

Why do those sites win?

The page types, structure, content depth, internal linking and authority behind the results that hold the top positions in each cluster.

04

What is your site missing?

Your coverage measured against the page families the market rewards, marked as covered, partial or missing.

05

What should you build next?

A ranked build order: what to build now, what comes next and what to leave alone until your authority can support it.

06

What will it take?

The authority and link gap between you and the sites that win, and what is realistically needed to close it.

How the map is built

Software reads the whole category. A person decides what it means.

Automation lets us analyse far more of the market than a manual audit could cover. It does not get the final say on what any of it means.

01

Collect the market

Searches, competitors, ranking pages, traffic estimates and links from public and specialist data sources, across the whole category rather than a sample of it.

02

Separate the demand

We remove unrelated traffic, separate buying searches from research, and work out which site and which specific page wins each cluster that carries business value.

03

Read the winning pages

For every cluster that matters we examine the pages holding the top positions: their type, structure, depth, internal links and the authority behind them.

04

Decide what it means

A senior specialist with twelve years in search turns the model into a build order: what to build, what each page family has to do and what to leave alone.

Inside the map

Eight sections. Told as the story of your market, not as a pile of charts.

The answer comes first. The evidence follows. Every section can be opened to the data behind it.

01

Executive market view

The size of the organic market, your current share, the main organic competitors, the largest unclaimed opportunity and the three actions that matter most. The answer before the detail.

02

Where the market goes

How search demand in the category is divided between direct competitors, comparison and review sites, publishers, directories and other site types. Ownership of demand, not keyword volume.

03

Who owns the market

For each significant competitor: visibility, traffic ownership, winning clusters, winning page types, content footprint, authority and links. And in every case, why they win.

04

Winning patterns

What the sites that win have in common: product pages, use-case pages, comparisons, alternatives, integrations, templates, categories, educational content. The market pattern set against your coverage.

05

You against the market

The page families the market expects, and for each one whether you cover it, partly cover it or do not have it at all. One simple view of the gap.

06

Opportunity map

Every opportunity scored on demand, intent, business value, competition, authority requirement and existing coverage, then sorted into build now, build next and ignore for now.

07

Authority and links

Not a backlink export. The authority gap that exists, which competitor pages earn links and why, the patterns that repeat, and what you realistically need.

08

The build plan

Foundation, commercial expansion, content and authority, as three phases. And separately, the first ninety days, so you know what to do on Monday.

How to read it

We separate what we measured from what we concluded.

The market is full of generated SEO reports that present every line as a fact. Every statement in your map carries one of three labels, so you always know whether you are looking at data, at reasoning or at a recommendation.

01

Measured · Taken directly from data

Search volumes, rankings, pages, links and traffic estimates, with the source shown beside each figure.

02

Inferred · Concluded from several signals

Why a competitor owns a cluster, what a page type is doing, where authority comes from. Each one opens to show the reasoning.

03

Recommended · A senior judgement call

What to build, what to ignore for now and in what order. Labelled as a professional recommendation, not dressed up as a fact.

04

Why Gravity One believes this

Every inferred and recommended statement opens to the signals behind it. If you disagree with a conclusion, you can see exactly what it rests on.

Sample map

An independent study of one category, published in full.

We are mapping one US software category end to end and publishing the complete report for a representative company, built entirely from public data and without that company's involvement. It will appear here when it is ready, so you can judge the depth of the work before you buy it.

01

Built on public data only

No client access, no private analytics. Exactly what the map can see about any company from the outside.

02

Not affiliated with the company studied

An independent capability study. The company is a subject, not a client, and is named as such in the report.

03

The full report, not an excerpt

Every section of the map, with every measured, inferred and recommended label in place, so the method is visible.

Price and scope

One price. The whole market.

A single one-time project. No retainer required, and no obligation to continue with us once you have the map.

After the map

The map tells you what to build. We can also build it.

The map stands on its own and many clients take it to their own team. If you want the work done as well, it usually leads to one of these: a website built around the page families the market rewards, a monthly growth engagement that works through the build order, or the mentions and links the winning pages in your category already have.
