# Top 3 Hunter agent: align your content with what actually ranks

> Compare the editorial quality of your content against the top 3 Google pages for your target keyword and get prioritized recommendations with ready-to-apply…

### In summary

**What you can do:** Analyze the top 3 Google pages for your target keyword, benchmark your content against competitors on editorial depth and user experience, and get prioritized recommendations with before/after rewrite proposals you can apply immediately.

**Who it's for:** SEO managers and content managers whose content has a strong Content Score but stagnates on page 2 or at the bottom of page 1.

**Why it's useful:** Content Score measures your semantic coverage. This agent goes further by analyzing what the pages ranking above you are actually doing across the dimensions Google values most: content depth, structure, readability, and alignment with search intent.

### What it changes for you

**The problem:** A strong Content Score does not guarantee page 1 rankings. Writers often optimize in isolation, without knowing what the pages ranking above them are actually doing on Google. Understanding why a piece of content fails to reach page 1 despite a strong semantic score requires a manual, time-consuming editorial competitive analysis.

**The solution:** The Top 3 SEO Editorial Assistant agent automatically analyzes the top 3 Google pages for your target keyword (excluding Wikipedia and government sites) and compares their editorial quality to your content across two axes: content depth and user experience. It includes a specific focus on the introduction and heading structure, two elements Google scrutinizes closely. The output is a set of prioritized recommendations with before/after rewrite proposals, ready to apply.

**The impact:**

* **Automated editorial competitive analysis:** understand in minutes what sets the top-ranking pages apart from yours.
* **Two precise comparison axes:** content depth (angle, data, topic coverage) and user experience (readability, heading structure, intent alignment).
* **Introduction and structure focus:** the two entry points most critical for rankings and bounce rate.
* **Immediately actionable recommendations:** written before/after proposals ready to copy directly into your editor.

> **Good to know ℹ️:** The agent automatically uses the primary keyword associated with your page to identify the top 3 competitor pages to analyze. Make sure the target keyword is correctly set in your editor before running the agent.

#### 2) Add custom instructions (optional)

Before running the agent, you can provide specific guidelines to focus its analysis or shape its recommendations.

**Examples of useful instructions:**

* "Focus primarily on the introduction and heading structure analysis"
* "Disregard the competitor in position 1 as it is a generalist media site"
* "Our content targets an expert audience, not beginners. Keep that level in the recommendations"
* "Prioritize recommendations that do not require a full rewrite"

> **Tip ✅:** If your content targets a mixed search intent (both informational and transactional), mention it in your instructions. The agent will factor this in when evaluating your page's intent alignment.

⏱️ **Duration:** 1 to 2 minutes depending on the length of the competitor pages analyzed **ℹ️ Cost:** 10 AI credits per run, 10 AI credits per follow-up message

#### 4) Read the competitive analysis

The agent delivers a structured analysis in two parts. The first covers content depth: the editorial angle used by competitors, data points present, coverage of subtopics, and gaps identified in your content. The second covers user experience: readability, heading structure, search intent alignment, and introduction quality.

For each identified gap, the agent indicates its priority level and estimated impact on rankings.

> **Good to know ℹ️:** You can ask the agent to go deeper on a specific point of the analysis, investigate a particular competitor in more detail, or rephrase a recommendation to fit your editorial constraints.

#### 5) Apply the prioritized recommendations

The recommendation plan lists the changes to make in your content, each accompanied by a written before/after proposal. Start with the high-priority actions, which correspond to the most impactful gaps relative to the top-ranking competitors.

Apply the changes directly in the Semji editor to see the effect on your Content Score in real time.
