Keyword Research & Strategy
In-depth keyword research with search intent mapping, difficulty scoring, and competitor gap analysis. Delivered as a prioritized keyword map aligned to your funnel stages and existing content.
What's included
- Seed keyword expansion using Semrush and Google's own data
- Search intent mapping across informational, navigational, commercial, and transactional
- Difficulty and opportunity scoring are weighted by your domain authority
- Competitor gap analysis to find keywords rivals rank for, and you don't
- SERP analysis on priority terms to understand what actually ranks
- Funnel stage mapping so each keyword ties to top, middle, or bottom of the funnel
- Content gap and cannibalization review against your existing pages
- Cluster grouping so related keywords get covered by one strong page, not five thin ones
- AI search and zero-click consideration for terms losing traditional CTR
- Prioritized keyword map with recommended page type, target URL, and next action
Why it matters
Most keyword research ends up as a spreadsheet nobody opens twice. Either it's a dump of high-volume terms with no chance of ranking, or it ignores intent and sends the wrong traffic to the wrong pages. A proper strategy ties every keyword to a specific funnel stage, an existing or planned page, and a realistic shot at ranking. You stop chasing vanity terms and start building content that actually moves pipeline.
