Semantic gap analysis identifies which entity attributes, subtopics, and co-occurring concepts are missing from your content, not which keywords you forgot to include. Run a keyword gap tool and you get a list of queries your competitors rank for that you do not. Run a semantic gap audit and you get something more useful: a
What is the Screaming Frog MCP? The Screaming Frog MCP server (released in SEO Spider v24) lets Claude run crawls, generate reports, execute custom Node.js scripts against crawl data, and write findings to your project files, all without leaving a Claude Code session. You give Claude a domain and an audit brief. It crawls, reports,
A Knowledge Panel audit compares four signals side by side, your Entity Home, your Wikidata record, your on-page schema, and the Knowledge Panel Google currently displays, then identifies which corroboration gaps are stopping Google from raising its confidence in your entity. The Claude Code workflow below runs that comparison in one session using parallel subagents,
The Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) framework is a content structuring method that mirrors how Google’s Knowledge Graph stores information. Every entity Google recognizes, whether a brand, a person, a product, or a local service, is described through a set of attributes, each holding a specific value.

Entity salience is Google’s measure of how central an entity is to a document, expressed as a score from 0.0 to 1.0. A page about fence installation in Portland might score “fence contractor” at 0.58 and “wood staining” at 0.04. The higher the score, the more Google treats that entity as the subject of the
