A derived list of every tracked keyword whose latest position is between 4 and 20, with the page that holds it. It appears on the Overview tab, drives the 'strike' proposal in the weekly audit, and is a named factor in how keywords get assigned to pages — proximity weighs a position-4-to-20 term above a fresh term of equal size.
Also called: quick SEO wins · page 2 keywords · almost ranking · positions 4 to 20
- 1The API derives striking = latest position between 4 and 20 across all tracked keywords.
- 2The weekly audit emits a 'striking' proposal naming up to five of them with their pages and the exact refresh actions.
- 3In the page-target model, proximityOf() gives positions 4–20 a factor of 1.35 — the highest in the model.
- 4When the autopilot applies the strike proposal, it clears the reviewed stamp on the named posts and records why, so the refresh becomes visible work.
Stated in the proposal text itself: "Positions 4–20 are the cheapest wins on the board." A page already on the edge of page one needs a title tightened and two internal links, not a new article — but with rankings presented as a flat list, those pages were indistinguishable from the ones fifty positions back that need a rewrite.
- Nearly-ranking pages were invisible inside a flat ranking table.
- Effort went to new content when refreshing an existing page was cheaper.
