Your First VOID Loop Workflow
🎯 What we'll build
A PAA (People Also Ask) analysis workflow that identifies content gaps in your niche using the complete VOID Loop methodology.
Vision
Pattern: "I need to find content gaps by analyzing what questions people ask about my topic."
Why automate: Manual PAA research is time-consuming and inconsistent.
Objective
Input: 5-10 seed keywords in your niche
Output: Clustered PAA questions with content opportunity scores
Success metric: Find 20+ unique content ideas in under 5 minutes
Implementation
Let's build it step by step:
Step 1: Import and Initialize
from voidseo import PAAExplorer
import json
# Initialize the PAA Explorer
explorer = PAAExplorer(
openai_api_key="your_key_here",
max_questions_per_keyword=10
)
Step 2: Define Your Keywords
# Your seed keywords (adjust for your niche)
keywords = [
"seo tools",
"keyword research",
"content optimization",
"serp analysis",
"backlink analysis"
]
Step 3: Scrape PAA Questions
# Scrape PAA questions for each keyword
print("🔍 Scraping PAA questions...")
questions = explorer.scrape_paa_questions(keywords)
print(f"Found {len(questions)} questions")
Step 4: Cluster by Intent
# Cluster questions by semantic similarity
print("🧠 Clustering questions by intent...")
clusters = explorer.cluster_questions(
questions,
n_clusters="auto",
algorithm="kmeans"
)
print(f"Created {len(clusters)} content clusters")
Step 5: Export Results
# Export to CSV for analysis
explorer.export_csv(clusters, "paa_content_gaps.csv")
print("✅ Results exported to paa_content_gaps.csv")
Deep Dive
Analyze your results:
- Which clusters have the most questions? (High demand topics)
- Which clusters are underserved by existing content?
- What's the search intent behind each cluster?
💡 Pro Tip
Look for clusters with 5+ questions but low competition. These are your golden content opportunities!
