Keywords ranking 4-20 already pass Google's relevance bar. They don't need new content, they need a nudge: a sharper title, more depth, a better internal link. This is usually the highest-ROI work on the site.

## From the dashboard

Open any site, then **Analysis → Striking distance**.

You'll see a filtered list of keywords where you rank 4-20, sorted by `potentialClicks` (what you'd gain reaching position 3). Each row: current position, monthly impressions, the URL that ranks, and volume.

<tip>

Filter by `minImpressions: 100` to skip noise. A keyword with 3 impressions isn't worth rewriting a title for.

## From MCP

```ts
gsc_query({
  type: 'analysis',
  preset: 'striking-distance',
  period: '28d',
  limit: 20,
  minImpressions: 100,
})
```

In Claude Code, ask:

> Find my striking-distance keywords for the last 28 days and pick the top 5 worth rewriting titles for.

The AI reads the result, opens the pages that rank, and proposes title/description edits. Paired with [`seo_audit_page`](/pro/docs/reference/mcp/audit-prompts#seo_audit_page) you get the full diagnosis in one turn.

## What to do with the list

1. **Pick the top 3-5 by potentialClicks**. Ignore the long tail.
2. **Open each ranking URL**. Check if the page still reflects the query intent.
3. **Rewrite the title** to include the exact query phrasing.
4. **Add the missing sub-topic** if the SERP top 3 cover something you don't.
5. **Ship, then wait 1-2 weeks** before re-checking position.

## Why position 4-20 specifically

- Position **1-3**: already winning; edits risk regression.
- Position **4-10**: page 1 but below the fold. One SERP feature or a stronger title gets you to 3.
- Position **11-20**: page 2. Usually needs a content depth fix, not just a title.
- Position **21+**: Google doesn't consider the page a serious candidate. Rewriting won't fix that, writing something new might.
