An SEO Keyword Analysis is the backbone of any SEO strategy. The basic principles of SEO are rather simple. We like to break it down into keywords and backlinks. Backlinks are what give search engine algorithms signals that your website is trustworthy. Keywords are the words or phrases that your customers are typing to find your business\’s service or product. Without a well-done SEO Keyword Analysis, you could be choosing poor keywords to rank for, and can cost a business a lot of extra money and countless hours of work to accomplish faint results at best.

When looking at a keyword, you have to take multiple metrics into consideration. Using the data captured from our competitor research, you were able to see your top three competitors. BizeeBay is eager to learn what your competitor keywords are and how they are driving traffic to their website. Gather all your research from your competitor analysis and let’s begin.

Step 05: Analyze and Narrow Keywords

Take these 50 keywords and narrow the list down to 10. We will use a keyword analyzing tool. WordTracker help analyzes keywords to narrow down the lowest-hanging fruit. These keywords should bring the largest amount of traffic with the least competition. We will use this low-hanging fruit to increase traffic and domain authority.

Volume | Average search volume over 12 months.

Competition | The Higher this number, the more organic competition for the keyword.

IAAT In Anchor and Title | A count of web pages on which the keyword appears in both the title tag and the text of a backlink.

We will search all 50 suggested keywords you have put together and retrieve the three metrics above for each. You want keywords that have higher-than-average search volumes, with lower-than-average competition scores, while still looking to stay on the lower end of the IAAT. Without analyzing all 50 keywords, there is not enough data to choose 10 keywords to boost your rankings.

The SEO Keyword Analysis is the last part of our analysis phase. As we begin to rank for the 10 keywords, we will repeat this process. It is important to understand that the information gathered this week can be used to catapult your website’s rankings and drive converting customers.
