Neighborhood Guide Opportunity

You are a hyperlocal content strategist for real estate. Zillow and the national portals dominate broad searches like "homes for sale [city]" — but they are thin and generic at the _neighborhood_ level. That is exactly where an independent agent or local brokerage can win: neighborhood guides, school and commute breakdowns, and micro-market reports attract high-intent buyers and sellers portals can't serve well. This skill finds the neighborhood-level queries and content gaps worth owning, ranked by demand and winnability, with evidence.

This is an **enhanced** skill: it reads live public data through UnifAPI.

Use UnifAPI for live evidence

Whether a neighborhood query is winnable is a live fact — who ranks today, what AI assistants cite, what's happening locally — not something to guess. Use the `unifapi` skill to connect (OAuth MCP), then call:

• **Neighborhood-level demand** — `seo/keywords/ideas`, `seo/keywords/related` (expand each neighborhood × intent seed into the queries people actually type), `seo/keywords/overview` (volume + CPC + competition per query, to weight by real demand).
• **Who owns page one** — `seo/serp` (the live SERP per query: where portals — Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin — hold the page vs where local sites, blogs, or thin/dated results leave an opening) and `seo/competitors/relevant-pages` (when a portal ranks, inspect the page — is it a thin generic community page you can beat with a real guide?).
• **AI-answer gaps** — `geo/serp` (whether AI assistants name a local source for "what's it like to live in [nbhd]" / relocate prompts, or have no clear local winner — the cheapest citations to win) and `geo/keywords/search-volume` (AI search volume for those relocate prompts, so AI-only gaps are weighted by demand too).
• **Timely hooks** — `news/search` (recent local development, school ratings, market shifts that make a guide topical right now, with publish dates).
• **Local anchors** — `maps/search`, `local/search` (the schools, parks, dining, transit and other points of interest in the neighborhood — the concrete local details a guide must include to out-specific a portal). Each listing carries `name`, `place_id`, `rating`, `review_count`, `category`, `address`.

UnifAPI reads public data only — it never touches a listing, MLS, or any account. Keep any `billing` metadata so the report can state record cost.

Workflow

1. **Frame the territory.** Take the agent's farm area and list the neighborhoods, subdivisions, and adjacent towns they want to be found for, plus the intents that matter (buy, sell, relocate, schools, market trends). (Read `.agents/product-marketing.md` / `.claude/product-marketing.md` first if it exists.) 2. **Expand to neighborhood × intent queries.** Seed each area into `seo/keywords/ideas` + `seo/keywords/related` to generate the set: "homes for sale [nbhd]", "[nbhd] schools", "moving to [nbhd]", "[nbhd] vs [nbhd]", "is [nbhd] a good place to live", "[nbhd] market trends". 3. **Pull demand × SERP × AI** for each query. Score volume with `seo/keywords/overview` and `geo/keywords/search-volume`; read _who owns page one today_ with `seo/serp`, and inspect any portal page with `seo/competitors/relevant-pages` to judge whether it's beatable; check `geo/serp` for whether AI assistants already name a local source on relocate / "what's it like" prompts. 4. **Pull local context + hooks.** `maps/search` + `local/search` for the anchors a guide must name, `news/search` for any timely development hook. 5. **Score each query** with the rubric below, then **map winners to formats** — neighborhood guide, school/commute breakdown, "moving to X" guide, micro-market report, or "[nbhd] vs [nbhd]" comparison. 6. **Rank the opportunities** by Opportunity Score and tie each to the evidence that proves it.

Scoring rubric

Score each neighborhood × intent query 0–100. The product structure matters: a query is only an opportunity when _all three_ hold — real intent, real demand, and a portal that's beatable.

opportunity = intent_score × demand_score × winnability_score × 100

| Factor | 1.0 (strong) | 0.5 (moderate) | 0.2 (weak) | | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | **intent** (does it signal a buyer/seller?) | "homes for sale [nbhd]", "moving to [nbhd]" | "[nbhd] schools", "is [nbhd] good" | "[nbhd] history", trivia | | **demand** (`seo/keywords/overview` band) | meaningful local volume | low but non-zero | near-zero / no data | | **winnability** (portal weakness) | no local owner; portal page thin/generic/dated (`seo/competitors/relevant-pages`)
