# Keyword Research & Competitive Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyword Research Process
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Seed keywords** — Start with obvious terms for the topic
|
||||
2. **Expand** — Find related terms, questions, long-tail variations
|
||||
3. **Analyze** — Check search volume, difficulty, intent
|
||||
4. **Prioritize** — Balance volume, difficulty, and business value
|
||||
5. **Map** — Assign keywords to pages (one primary per page)
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyword Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | What It Means | Action |
|
||||
|--------|---------------|--------|
|
||||
| Search volume | Monthly searches | Higher = more potential traffic |
|
||||
| Keyword difficulty | Competition level | Higher = harder to rank |
|
||||
| CPC | Ad cost per click | Higher = more commercial value |
|
||||
| SERP features | Snippets, maps, images | Affects CTR potential |
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyword Types
|
||||
|
||||
**By intent:**
|
||||
- Informational: "how to", "what is", "guide"
|
||||
- Navigational: brand names, specific sites
|
||||
- Transactional: "buy", "price", "discount", "best"
|
||||
- Commercial: "vs", "review", "alternative"
|
||||
|
||||
**By length:**
|
||||
- Head terms: 1-2 words, high volume, high competition
|
||||
- Long-tail: 3+ words, lower volume, easier to rank, higher conversion
|
||||
|
||||
## Competitive Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### What to Analyze
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Who ranks** — Top 10 for target keywords
|
||||
2. **What they cover** — Topics, subtopics, depth
|
||||
3. **How they structure** — Format, headings, media
|
||||
4. **Where they link** — Internal and external links
|
||||
5. **Why they rank** — Authority, content quality, technical
|
||||
|
||||
### Gap Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
Find opportunities competitors miss:
|
||||
- Topics they don't cover
|
||||
- Questions they don't answer
|
||||
- Formats they don't use (video, tools, calculators)
|
||||
- Depth they lack
|
||||
|
||||
### Content Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Factor | Competitor A | Competitor B | Your Content |
|
||||
|--------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
|
||||
| Word count | | | |
|
||||
| Subtopics covered | | | |
|
||||
| Media (images, video) | | | |
|
||||
| Freshness | | | |
|
||||
| E-E-A-T signals | | | |
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyword Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
One primary keyword per page. Related keywords support the primary.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/page-url/
|
||||
├── Primary: main target keyword
|
||||
├── Secondary: related keyword 1, related keyword 2
|
||||
└── LSI: semantically related terms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
Track rankings over time:
|
||||
- Weekly for competitive terms
|
||||
- Monthly for long-tail
|
||||
- Note algorithm updates that affect rankings
|
||||
|
||||
## Tools
|
||||
|
||||
Free options:
|
||||
- Google Search Console — actual queries driving traffic
|
||||
- Google Trends — relative search interest
|
||||
- Google autocomplete — real user queries
|
||||
- People Also Ask — question-based keywords
|
||||
- Related searches — bottom of SERP
|
||||
|
||||
The skill does keyword research without external tools by analyzing SERPs and using public Google data.
