SERP Gap who holds page 1 + the 6 vacuums

live UK top-10 · DataForSEO · 29 May 2026 + 4-agent wave

For each money/symptom/wedge term: who actually holds page 1, whether AI Overview fires, and whether there's a winnable angle. Pattern is consistent — UK retailer/media wall on commodity head; US medical or UK fashion media on women's-specific; pharmacies on GLP-1; private clinic + Louise Newson on perimenopause symptoms. Nowhere does a UK women's supplement brand authority exist. AIO firing on ~85% of priority queries per Agent 4.

The SIX vacuums we exploit: (a) UK brand vacuum on female-specific cluster — PubMed/ARU/Vogue/Mayo win; (b) UK citation gap on worried-buyer — US Healthline/Cleveland/Harvard win; (c) UK symptom-funnel gap — NHS+private clinic own head, supplement layer empty; (d) NEW: Magnesium Authority gap — Healthspan only UK ranker; (e) NEW: Collagen Authority gap — vendor + media listicle wall; (f) NEW: English-language ayurveda × perimenopause gap — no commodity brand has positioned.

9kineticasports.comUK sport brand

No UK female-specialist brand or authority in top 10. ARU at #2 is the academic credibility benchmark — perfect to cite + co-author with. H&B at #8 is the only consumer-facing UK entry. Wide-open commercial wedge.

magnesium glycinate vs citrate — 5,400/mo · AIO:Y ⭐ NEW (Agent 3)

SERP per Agent 3: vendor + small SEO sites + 1-2 US wellness blogs. WIDE-OPEN. AIO firing. Direct decision-help page with affiliate links to the winning glycinate (BetterYou / Pure Encapsulations / Solgar) + the winning citrate (Solgar / Wild Nutrition). The ⭐ direct-conversion gold of the entire research.

magnesium glycinate benefits — 14,800/mo · AIO:Y ⭐ NEW (Agent 3)

SERP per Agent 3: Healthspan is the ONLY UK ranker (plus US wellness). AIO firing. Easy displacement with named-RD + EFSA-anchored content. The brand absorbs ~30-50% of the AIO citation share within 6 months.

best collagen for women — 9,900/mo · AIO:Y · PAA:Y ⭐ NEW (Agent 3)

SERP per Agent 3: vendor + media listicle wall (Vogue + Marie Claire + Good Housekeeping + MyProtein). AIO firing. Female-specific dosing + skin/joint differentiation + heavy-metals lab data wins the citation.

strength training perimenopause — 70/mo · £0.09 CPC · WIDE-OPEN ⭐

Gym chains + academic + US lifestyle hold the SERP. No supplement brand with named strength coach owns this. Tiny head + £0.09 CPC = pure citation play; the coach co-authorship is the entity differentiator.

creatine side effects — 22,200/mo · AIO:Y

SERP: H&B + PubMed + Cleveland Clinic + Mayo Clinic + Frontiers + OrthoInfo + Sloane Street Surgery + GoodRx + PubMed + YouTube. 22.2k volume, all US medical + H&B. Massive citation opportunity for a UK-named-RD-authored "creatine side effects: the honest UK guide" page.

creatine and hair loss — 2,900/mo · LOW comp + does creatine cause hair loss 8,100/mo · NEW (Agent 3)

Persistent creatine FUD. Both queries: AIO firing + WIDE-OPEN UK SERPs + LOW comp. The honest 40-60w answer wins citation. Sister cluster on `creatine and kidneys` 1,600 + AIO/PAA.

Pillar Quiz / Personalised

personalised vitamins UK — 210/mo · £6.10 CPC

SERP: Get Nourished · Vitl · Boots · Standard · Alyve · Guardian · Bioniq · Everly. £6.10 CPC = high commercial intent. No menopause-specific player. The quiz + life-stage specificity = brand differentiator.

The six positions to attack
A · UK brand vacuum (female)
Wild Nutrition's menopause blind spot
40.5k brand search vs 110 on "wild nutrition menopause". First-mover window 6-18 months.
B · UK citation gap (worried buyer)
US medical owns it; we own UK
Mayo + Cleveland + Healthline + Harvard own 22.2k creatine side effects, 49.5k protein-need. UK gap = no named-RD, no EFSA-anchored authority.
C · Louise Newson / US-tech displacement
The perimenopause sub-cluster
Magnesium glycinate / creatine menopause / strength training perimenopause SERPs held by Newson + Midi + ThePauseLife. Fitness-anchored UK brand wedges in via the strength + Stacy-Sims position.
D · Magnesium Authority NEW
Healthspan-only UK ranker
Glycinate benefits 14.8k + side effects 8.1k + vs citrate 5.4k AIO. Easy displacement; ⭐ direct conversion gold.
E · Collagen Authority NEW
Vendor + media listicle wall
Best for women 9.9k + marine vs bovine 3.6k AIO. Citation-led displacement with female-specific dosing.
F · Ayurveda × Perimenopause NEW
English-language vacuum
Ashwagandha 165k UK + shatavari 3.6k. Named UK ayurvedic-practitioner co-author = entity moat no commodity brand has positioned.
