🎓 Use Cases

Use Case 1: Identify Quick Wins

Find low-effort, high-impact optimization opportunities:

import asyncio
from services.seo_tools.gsc_analyzer_service import GSCAnalyzerService

async def find_quick_wins():
    service = GSCAnalyzerService()

    analysis = await service.analyze_search_performance(
        site_url="https://mysite.com",
        date_range_days=90
    )

    opportunities = analysis['content_opportunities']
    quick_wins = [o for o in opportunities if o['effort'] == 'Low' and o['priority'] == 'critical']

    print(f"Found {len(quick_wins)} quick wins!")
    for opp in quick_wins:
        print(f"- {opp['action']}: +{opp['estimated_click_gain']} clicks potential")

Use Case 2: Competitive Benchmarking

Understand your market position:

analysis = await service.analyze_search_performance(
    site_url="https://mysite.com",
    date_range_days=90
)

competitive = analysis['competitive_positioning']
print(f"Market Position: {competitive['position']}")
print(f"Your Score: {competitive['your_visibility_score']}")
print(f"Market Average: {competitive['market_average']}")
print(f"Gap to Leader: {competitive['gap_to_leader']} points")

Use Case 3: Content Planning

Plan new content based on data gaps:

report = await service.get_content_opportunities_report(
    site_url="https://mysite.com",
    min_impressions=100,
    date_range_days=90
)

opportunities = report['opportunities']
print(f"\n3-Phase Implementation Plan:")
print(f"Phase 1 (Weeks 1-2): +{report['phase_1']['estimated_traffic_gain']} clicks")
print(f"Phase 2 (Weeks 3-4): +{report['phase_2']['estimated_traffic_gain']} clicks")
print(f"Phase 3 (Month 2+): +{report['phase_3']['estimated_traffic_gain']} clicks")

🔧 Advanced Features

Opportunity Scoring

Opportunities are scored on multiple factors:

Opportunity Score = (Traffic Impact × 0.4) + (Implementation Ease × 0.3) + (Feasibility × 0.3)

Example:
- Traffic Impact (0-100): 85 × 0.4 = 34
- Implementation Ease (0-100): 90 × 0.3 = 27
- Feasibility (0-100): 80 × 0.3 = 24
─────────────────────────────────────────
Opportunity Score: 85 (Very High)

Phase-Based Planning

3-phase implementation timeline with:

Phase 1 (Weeks 1-2): Quick wins - Effort: Low - Impact: Immediate - Estimated gain: 5-15% traffic

Phase 2 (Weeks 3-4): Ranking improvements - Effort: Medium - Impact: 2-4 weeks - Estimated gain: 10-20% traffic

Phase 3 (Month 2+): Long-term strategy - Effort: High - Impact: Long-term - Estimated gain: 20-40% traffic
