Learn about Content gaps
A content gap happens when viewers can't find enough quality search results on YouTube for a specific search. You can use content gaps as inspiration to create content that doesn't exist or could be improved.
A content gap can happen when:
- Viewers can't find any results for their searches.
- Viewers can't find an exact match for their searches.
- Viewers can't find relevant videos for their searches – for example, the content is old or low quality.
