Lousy Google search results? That's your cue for easy ranking potential. TopicRanker goes beyond keyword difficulty metrics, pinpointing problematic SERPs which are ripe for the taking.
Hey ProductHunters!
I'm Dmitry Dragilev, founder of TopicRanker. I’ve worked in SEO for the last 12 years.
Started and scaled 3 startups from scratch to acquisition by Semrush in 2023, by Google in 2014, by early employees of Slack in 2024. Case studies here.
Ran keyword research & SEO (as a consultant) for companies such as Dow Jones, Barrons, MarketWatch, Realtor.com, Nextiva, Aura, Pipedrive, Wistia, Culture Amp, Help Scout, Swan Bitcoin.
I've translated my expertise into TopicRanker software platform which I’m sharing with you today!
👇 A different type of keyword research 👇
Tell me if this sounds familiar...
1. You want to organically rank on Google for more relevant terms.
2. You open up Semrush / Ahrefs (or any other keyword tool you use) and punch in a term you want to rank for
3. You check out the report of 100+ keyword suggestions, you look at their relevancy, search volume and keyword difficulty metrics
3. You choose a keyword that looks good and assign it to your content team to create and publish the article. You ping your link building agency to start hammering links to this new article.
4. Three months later you're still ranking on Page 3 of Google. You're frustrated!
What happened?
Over the last 12 years, countless clients have told me:
"This page won't rank, can you help make it rank"
My immediate response is:
"Does it deserve to rank? Is there a problem or weak spot you see on the search results that warrant you to take someone else's place in SERP?"
The problem with the above process is that you skipped SERP analysis on the suggested keyword. You do not know if the search results have a problem or weak spot.
Here are some key indicators a SERP has weak spots and will be easy-to-rank for you:
*Low authority & backlinks sites ranking in top 10 spots
*Title mismatch - the search query googled does not match the title in top 10 results that are ranking
*Outdated content
*Thin content - content ranking in top 10 is less than 800 words in length
*Poor load score on mobile for top 10 ranking - takes more than 3 seconds to load
*Poor readability for top 10 ranking
*High spam score of the domain ranking in top 10 and others
If you find a keyword where one (or more) of the above is true, you can rank #1 in a month. I've done this myself. Here is a case study of how I did this with a brand new domain when I first bought the topicranker.com domain:
New domain ranked #1 on Google within two weeks: Here's my process for finding easy-to-rank keywords.
I was tired of doing manual keyword research with SERP analysis for my clients so I built a tool to do it automatically.
TopicRanker uses an AI powered bulk SERP analysis to suggest easy-to-rank target keywords in your niche based on specific weaknesses and problems identified in search results that your competitors are struggling with.
(the platform is complete with AI writing tools to jumpstart your writing effort as well)
Unlike most SEO tools, we made it crazy affordable so that everyone can use it, plans start at $9/mo.
🔥 TopicRanker Quick Walk Through 🔥
Enter your website URL and a seed topic (any general term you want to rank for) into TopicRanker.
The platform will analyze & grade millions of SERPs to show you only search results pages where your competitors have problems and weaknesses in the top 10 results on Google, such as:
•Low authority & backlinks sites ranking in top 10 spots
•Title mismatch - the search query googled does not match with the title in top 10 results that are ranking
•Outdated content
•Thin content - content ranking in top 10 is less then 800 words in length
Etc. - as outlined above.
Each TopicRanker report includes:
*Specific easy-to-rank keyword recommendations based on weak spots in SERP
*Competitive analysis of your domain authority and backlinks compared to your competition
*Specific weaknesses and problems on the SERP for the keyword recommended and a plan of what you should do to outrank all the results for the given SERP
*Report of your current rankings in top 10 and what needs to be adjusted to rank better

hey this sounds like a great idea to have such good product come live on board congrats,but is it only for ranking blogs and xite,sand whats serp? cheers
TopicRanker is a helpful tool for those who do not need a year-long learning curve. Ideal for in-house marketers not needing the heady duty functionality of a $350/mo SEO analysis tool.
Love TopicRanker! I'd recommend this for anyone creating SEO-optimized content.
What I love about it:
1. TopicRanker can easily replace another SEO tool: With detailed reports, this platform shows you the "very easy vs. very hard" keywords you can rank for. It also gives you overall seed topics to start your keyword research.
2. How your content measures up: TopicRanker shows you the total number of backlinks and authority ranking of each page competing for your keywords, so you can determine if your content has a chance of ranking.
3. The missteps other content creators make: TopicRanker points out the problems that other content has on their pages, so you can leverage those missed opportunities. For example, TopicRanker will show you how fast other content pages are loading, so you can make yours load faster.
4. Readability level for content: Ideally, all content should be at least an eighth grade reading level. You can see how other content measures up, so you can make your content easier to read.
5. Built-in, useful AI: With a few clicks, TopicRanker will create a content brief, suggested SEO-focused title, and surprisingly useful outline to kickstart your content.
Beyond that, it's just easy to use. Go check it out!
Nice, about time more simple, budget-friendly versions of Ahrefs/Semrush hits the market. Looking forward to where you take this!
Congratulations! Currently on my first month of Ahrefs @ $99/mo. Need to make a decision on whether to jump on this.
Pros
+ Clear video!
+ You have nailed your user persona.
+ Decent price for a base plan.
Cons
- First interactive presentation was not so clear. Consider using Arcade, for a beautifully interactive demo.
Seems quite helpful @dragilev - especially at the price you guys are offering.
I'm building a relatively new product that revolves around Gamified & Interactive marketing content for businesses to gamify their sales & lead gen process- would definitely recommend TopicRanker to my team!
Good luck with the launch
Well done, @dragilev !
Keyword research didn't change much over the past few years, but Google and the SERPs most definitely did.
TopicRanker is probably the only keyword research tool I've stumbled upon that takes keyword research to the next level, which until now required manual checks, SERP by SERP. Looking good, and best of luck!
This looks good guys, this seems like something I just need right now. Will definately try.
Good luck!
TopicRanker is helpful for those who are tired of the hit-or-miss nature of traditional SEO tools. Great job, Dmitry!
Nice work @dragilev. A true competitor to LowFruits. You consider a lot more variables, I'm very curious to try it out and see the results.
Does it work for the Spanish-speaking market? Wishing you lots of success on your Product Hunt launch!
Very helpful tool for identifying "hidden gem" keywords that are relatively easy to rank for.
