The keywords already worth working on
Aergos surfaces the keywords you already rank for in positions 4-20 — sorted by the traffic each one would unlock if its page moved up — and turns each into a content task or an action-plan item with one click.
The highest-ROI work in SEO: pages that already have retrieval momentum, one focused edit away from a meaningful lift.
The highest-ROI work in SEO
A page already ranking for a keyword has internal links, retrieval momentum, and engagement signals you'd otherwise be building from scratch. Aergos surfaces those keywords — anywhere in positions 4 to 20 — so the next sprint's work is finishing what's started rather than starting over.
Positions 4–20
Close enough to the top that a focused improvement produces meaningful traffic — without rewriting the page or starting a new one.
Already-built retrieval
The page exists, the engine knows about it, and it ranks. Internal links and authority signals are baked in.
Faster lift cycles
Edits to an already-ranking page move faster than new pages competing from scratch. The compounding work happens within a refresh cycle.
Ranked by potential clicks, not by volume
A 12,000-volume keyword stuck at position 19 is rarely the right next move — the realistic traffic lift from moving up may be smaller than a 1,500-volume keyword sitting at position 6. Aergos computes potential clicks for every candidate using the CTR curve at each position and the query's monthly volume, then sorts the list by the lift the work would actually produce.
potential_clicks = volume × (target_ctr − current_ctr). No black-box score, no guessing weights — just the click delta the lift would generate.Two sources, one list, no double-counting
Aergos pulls candidate keywords from both Google Search Console (every query GSC reports for the site) and the Aergos rank tracker (daily monitoring on priority terms). The two streams are merged and deduplicated so a keyword that appears in both never gets counted twice.
Google Search Console
Every query GSC reports impressions for, with average position and impression-weighted CTR. The widest possible candidate pool.
Aergos rank tracker
Daily-monitored priority keywords on a per-client schedule. Gives current rank stability and the trend the GSC averages can't see.
From candidate to lift in two clicks
Pick a candidate; Aergos hands it off to one of two execution paths, depending on whether you want to write now or queue the work for later.
Create Content with Keyword
Opens the Content Wizard pre-filled with the keyword, the existing page if one already ranks, and the intent context. The writer or your agent picks up from there in Content Studio.
Add to Action Plan
Queues the keyword as a task on the next action plan you generate for the client. Useful when the work belongs in a sprint, not in the moment.
Lift tracked from publish
Pages flagged as published from the platform are tracked for rank movement and traffic from the publish date forward. When a striking-distance keyword's page is updated or replaced, the lift shows up against the same keyword in the next report — no manual attribution.
