You have been asked whether a competitor is genuinely stronger on a topic cluster or just louder about it. The honest answer needs data, and you have until the end of the day.
Turning a keyword list into a coverage map
Take the cluster's keyword list — say three hundred terms — and prepend site:competitor.com intitle: to every line. Each resulting query asks Google a specific question: does this competitor have a page whose title targets this term?
Reading the results
The pattern in the answers is the finding. Fifteen titled pages across three hundred terms means they own a handful of head terms and nothing else, and the long tail is genuinely open. Two hundred titled pages means they have systematically covered the cluster and you will need a different angle than volume.
Why this beats a tool subscription for this question
Third-party estimates of a competitor's coverage are modelled from sampled data. This asks the index directly. For a one-off strategic question, that directness is worth more than the dashboard.
