# Tools Opportunity List

**Last Updated:** 2026-03-29  
**Purpose:** Keyword → tool mapping for new rechner prioritization. Merge SISTRIX output (volume, competition) when available.

## Data sources

- **Candidate keywords:** `docs/content/tools/tools-candidate-keywords.json`
- **SISTRIX output (after run):** `docs/content/tools/tools-keyword-sistrix.json`
- **GSC (API or CSV):** Live pull: `php v2/scripts/tools/collect-tools-performance-gsc.php` → `tools-performance-gsc.json`. Manual: CSV export + `gsc-export-to-json.php` — [TOOLS_PERFORMANCE_DATA.md](TOOLS_PERFORMANCE_DATA.md).
- **GA4 (API):** `php v2/scripts/tools/collect-tools-performance-ga4.php` → `tools-performance-ga4.json` (last 90 days, paths containing `/tools/`).
- **Scripts:**  
  - Collect SISTRIX: `php v2/scripts/tools/collect-tools-keywords-sistrix.php` (use `--limit=N` for testing).  
  - Merge SISTRIX (and optional GSC) into a table: `php v2/scripts/tools/merge-tools-opportunity-data.php` (see `--help`).

## Opportunity list (keyword → tool mapping)

**Merged 2026-03-29** from `tools-keyword-sistrix.json` + **live** `tools-performance-gsc.json` (GSC Search Analytics API, last 90 days). `GSC_clicks` = clicks to `/tools/{suggested_tool_slug}` when the slug is present in GSC data; otherwise **—**.

| Keyword | Suggested tool slug | Volume (SISTRIX) | Competition (SISTRIX) | GSC_clicks |

**Fit notes (editorial, unchanged):** Elterngeld- und Pendler-Tools sind live. Krankengeld-/Mutterschaftsgeld-/Kurzarbeitergeld-Rechner sind Kandidaten für Neubau. Zuschlagsrechner deckt „Gehaltsrechner mit Zuschlägen“-Intent ab (siehe Quick wins unten).

## How to merge SISTRIX and GSC/GA data

See [TOOLS_PERFORMANCE_DATA.md](TOOLS_PERFORMANCE_DATA.md). In short: refresh `collect-tools-performance-gsc.php` / `collect-tools-performance-ga4.php` as needed; run `collect-tools-keywords-sistrix.php`, then `merge-tools-opportunity-data.php` (use `--gsc` when `tools-performance-gsc.json` exists); paste the table into the opportunity table above; re-sort and update [TOOLS_PRIORITIZATION_2026.md](TOOLS_PRIORITIZATION_2026.md).

## Annual update burden (candidate tools)

| Suggested tool slug | Annual update burden | Notes |
|---------------------|----------------------|--------|
| elterngeldrechner | High | Rates/regulations change; Bundesland, Basismonate, etc. |
| pendlerpauschale-rechner | High | Entfernungspauschale rates (e.g. 2024/2025/2026) |
| krankheitskosten-rechner | Low | Formula stable; optional rate updates |
| krankheitstage-rechner | Low | Mostly formula; Lohnfortzahlung period rules |
| kurzarbeitergeld-rechner | High | KUG rates and caps by year |
| urlaubsgeld-rechner | Medium | Tarif/company-specific; legal minimums can change |
| wunschnettolohn-rechner | High | Tied to Brutto-Netto (tax/Sozialabgaben yearly) |
| mutterschaftsgeld-rechner | High | Caps and employer top-up rules |
| krankengeld-rechner | High | KV-Bemessungsgrenzen, daily rate caps |

Use this when scoring effort for prioritization (high burden = higher ongoing cost).

## Quick wins (no new tool)

- **Zuschlagsrechner:** Optimize for "zuschläge berechnen rechner", "gehaltsrechner mit zuschlägen", "steuerfreie zuschläge rechner" (content + meta).
- **Prozentrechner:** Fix technical/SEO (strategy doc notes 85,900 potential, 1 session — verify in GSC).
