Workflow: Cannibalization audit

The overlap set is the whole subject of this workflow. Get it first, and get the column order right — comparing a domain against itself returns two position columns with identical headers, and only the argument order tells them apart.

Prompt

For {your-domain.com} in {country}, compare the domain's Google Ads keyword portfolio against its own organic keyword portfolio and return only keywords where it appears in both. Pass {your-domain.com} as the paid entry first and as the organic entry second. The two position columns come back with identical headers, so read the first as paid_position and the second as organic_position — do not infer which is which from the values. A position of 0 means no presence on that side; drop such rows from this step. Return these columns: • keyword • paid_position • organic_position • cpc • search_volume • keyword_difficulty • competitive_density • overlap_class Set overlap_class as: • own_both_top — organic_position is 3 or better and paid_position is 3 or better • organic_strong — organic_position is 5 or better • organic_mid — organic_position is 6 to 20 • organic_weak — organic_position is above 20 Sort by search_volume descending. Limit: 40 keywords. Where keyword_difficulty is unavailable, label it inferred.

Example Output (illustrative)
