It is strongest for trend discovery, market and product research, useful for content opportunity scanning, especially when the buyer profile looks like content strategists finding emerging topics, founders watching market trends, teams planning timely SEO content.
The gap to plan around is simple: optimization usually starts after someone has already chosen the topic or draft. Before buying, ask: Who chooses the topics and produces drafts before the optimization layer starts helping?
