Striking Distance Keywords

Page 2 rankings are wasted impressions. Turn them into traffic.

Find keywords close to page-one rankings for quick wins.

The Problem

Positions 5–15 are your biggest untapped opportunity

Keywords ranked between position 5 and 15 already have impressions — people are searching, your page is showing up, but almost no one is clicking. A position jump from 12 to 5 can increase clicks by 10×. But finding these opportunities across thousands of keywords without automation takes hours you don't have.

10× more clicks

going from position 12 to position 5 for the same keyword

Hours of work

to manually scan GSC for position 5–20 keywords with impressions

Missed wins

every week spent on harder targets while easy gains sit untouched

How It Works

See it in action

Striking Distance Keywords turns raw Search Console data into clear signals and next steps.

01

Automatic striking distance scan

Rankerli identifies every keyword you rank for between positions 5 and 20 with meaningful impression volume.

02

Ranked by opportunity size

Keywords are sorted by potential click gain — so you work on the ones where a small push makes the biggest difference first.

03

AI-suggested optimizations

Each keyword comes with specific suggestions: update meta title, add internal links, refresh content, or improve page authority.

What You Gain

The value of having the right data

Highest ROI optimization work available

Improving a position 8 keyword to position 3 delivers more clicks than creating 10 new pieces of content.

Already halfway there

These pages already rank — Google already recognizes their relevance. You're not starting from zero.

Prioritized, not overwhelming

Instead of a list of 500 keywords, you get a ranked action list focused on impact — making the next step obvious.

Faster results than new content

Optimization of existing pages shows ranking improvements in weeks, not months.

Without This Feature

Without Striking Distance Keywords, quick wins go unclaimed

Spend time creating new content while existing pages with near-page-one rankings go unoptimized

Manually export GSC data and filter for positions 5–20 every time you want to find opportunities

Miss the compound effect of dozens of small ranking improvements adding thousands of clicks per month

Let competitors push your position-8 keywords down while you focus on building new ones from scratch

Capabilities
