From my personal experience in reading and investigating this topic, I have found that there are plenty of articles that explain how to perform keyword research step by step. Also, digital marketing gurus have moved away from speaking only about technical issues and have started to provide useful insights about customers\u2019 intentions, which I believe, illustrates current market trends. However, the percentage of dull content out there is still ridiculously high. I\u2019ve scrolled through too many posts where no one mentioned users and the bloggers were only focused on giving advice on how to put searchable keywords in the right places. So, now you&#8217;re curious about what will be discussed in this post. Am I right?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The idea is simple \u2013 I want to cover a pretty wide niche. I am constantly astonished nowadays by the absolute insufficiency of content highlighting &#8211;\u00a0how to spot the best keyword opportunities using forecasting. I believe this secret is definitely protected by SEO experts in order to prevent other folks from figuring out how to get a slice of this pie.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I don\u2019t feel that I need to get too deep into explaining how to perform keyword research. \u00a0However, I want to share a couple of tips that I have found useful from my personal experience.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2298\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip1.png?resize=640%2C38\" alt=\"tip1\" width=\"640\" height=\"38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip1.png?w=848&amp;ssl=1 848w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip1.png?resize=300%2C17&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Only using Google Keyword Planner isn\u2019t the smartest way to collect the most valuable and promising keywords. Try collecting data using various tools like SEMrush, Spyfu, Searchmetrics, and Keywordspy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2299\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip2.png?resize=640%2C38\" alt=\"tip2\" width=\"640\" height=\"38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip2.png?w=848&amp;ssl=1 848w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip2.png?resize=300%2C17&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Not surprisingly, Autosuggest has a lot to suggest. But pulling Google\u2019s Autosuggest data manually doesn\u2019t seem to be a great idea, so I highly recommend at least using Ubersuggest. Or if you have the budget for another fancy tool, then take a look at <a href=\"http:\/\/keywordtool.io\" data-wpel-link=\"ignore\">Keywordtool.io<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip3.png?resize=640%2C38\" alt=\"tip3\" width=\"640\" height=\"38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip3.png?w=848&amp;ssl=1 848w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip3.png?resize=300%2C17&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Don\u2019t forget about long-tail keywords, which can also work really well and bring a lot of visitors to your website.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2301\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip4.png?resize=640%2C38\" alt=\"tip4\" width=\"640\" height=\"38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip4.png?w=848&amp;ssl=1 848w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/tip4.png?resize=300%2C17&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Don\u2019t forget that a huge portion of website traffic can be triggered by branded keywords, and branded traffic isn\u2019t related to SEO. So, you need to have a clear understanding of the difference between branded and non-branded keywords in order to work with the right statistic and metrics.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So, you have a final list of keywords. What next? Now is the best time to focus on the right keywords, which can get your website in the Top 10 or even the Top 3. Also, keep in mind that the best approach here is to maintain a balance between focusing on keywords that\u00a0have less competitive SERPs and the number of times users search about them on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You can certainly go with Excel and build everything with it, but it\u2019s time-consuming and not so easily scalable and manageable. I searched high and low for the perfect tool and finally found it, and now I want to share this goldmine with you. \u00a0This tool is called <a href=\"http:\/\/seomonitor.com\" data-wpel-link=\"ignore\">SEOmonitor.com<\/a> and it separates branded and non branded traffic on the fly, shows competition levels for SERPs by each keyword, and, on top of that, you\u2019ll have the ability to scale, tweak, and share this data with colleagues or even with clients.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of a list of keywords from SEOmonitor. You can see the columns showing the Opportunity Level and Keyword Difficulty for each keyword:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/24.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2290\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/24.png?resize=640%2C453\" alt=\"SEOmonitor\" width=\"640\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/24.png?w=726&amp;ssl=1 726w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/24.png?resize=300%2C212&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Difficulty metric gives me an idea of how difficult it\u2019ll be to get my website to rank in the Top 3 for a certain keyword. The visualization is pretty simple. When I see that it\u2019s notated in the color red, it alerts me that a certain keyword in my list has a high level of competition. If it\u2019s notated in the color green, then it\u2019s a pretty open niche.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Opportunity metric shows the most profitable keyword for your website. \u00a0It indicates the ratio between how many resources you\u2019ll need to get in the Top 3 and your site\u2019s monthly estimated revenue. To simplify everything, it helps you earn more revenue with fewer resources by pointing out the right keywords.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As an alternative to the Keyword Difficulty metric in SEOmonitor, I recommend taking a look at\u00a0the SEMrush Keyword Difficulty Tool, which also uncovers data concerning how hard it\u2019ll be to get your domain in the top search results using a particular keyword.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/semrush.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2303\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/semrush.png?resize=640%2C319\" alt=\"semrush\" width=\"640\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/semrush.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/semrush.png?resize=300%2C149&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, the problem is that you still need to collect metrics from multiple sources and bring them together in Excel. You must also modify all collected data sets in Excel in order to have an at-a-glance overview like you\u2019ll have access to with SEOmonitor. For me, visualization is king. That\u2019s why I enjoy SEOmonitor so much!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The next step after spotting the right keyword opportunities should be to set up clear KPI\u2019s based on the predicted traffic growth for your SEO campaign. \u00a0Previously, I used Excel, \u00a0and I had a huge formula that automatically calculated how much traffic I\u2019d get if I were to get a certain group of keywords in the Top 10 and then in Top 3. Honestly, it was pretty handy and I haven\u2019t experienced any problems with these tweaks to Excel. The real issue came when I needed to send it to a client. In order to create a proper proposal, I was spending a couple of hours collecting everything in one PPT and then converting it to a PDF. But now, I don\u2019t need to do this, because in SEOmonitor, you can do it in only one minute. This feature is called the Business Case Builder, and it allows you to select a group or groups of keywords with which you want to work. After that, it will automatically calculate your future SEO traffic and even estimate the cost of running an AdWords campaign for the same traffic as you are supposed to earn via an SEO campaign.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, the problem is that you still need to collect metrics from multiple sources and bring them together in Excel.

If you want to show that your work is paying dividends, then there\u2019s no other way other than forecasting future traffic and working hard to get these numbers to happen. Also, you can\u2019t blindly select keywords; you need to first check the difficulty of being highly ranked with them. So this means that properly executed keyword research must end with a traffic-forecasting stage, which will show the value of SEO traffic for your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have had the pleasure and, in some cases, the pain to browse tons of articles on the subject of keyword research.
