2. Keyword research is the first step in your SEO Journey.
It is important in two common scenarios:
Know Your Niche: keyword research provides a great
overview of what sub-topics are interesting for people in
your niche or industry.
Finding Content Ideas: Keyword research can help you
to find most profitable keywords and content ideas.

3. Where to find
keywords?
Your first task comes with a seed keyword and
then let other platforms find you more ideas

4. GOOGLE SUGGESTION
Google offers many keyword suggestions directly in
the SERP. Features such as Google Autocomplete,
People Also Ask or Related Searches can be a great
source of keyword ideas.

5. KEYWORDS TOOLS
There are many free & paid keyword tools that can
give you hundreds of keyword ideas based on a
single seed keyword.

6. Keyword Metrics
Your goal is to find relevant keywords with high
search volumes and low keyword difficulty

7. Content creators did keyword research only to
find the keywords with high search volumes.
Search volume
They stuffed them into content to trick the
search engine algorithms and ensure high
rankings in organic search. Since then, keyword
research has become a lot more complex.

8. Once you find keywords you want to rank for,
you’ll need to find out how hard it will be by
evaluating the competition. It is usually
expressed with the metric called keyword
difficulty.

9. Last but not least, your keyword must be
relevant. By looking at the SERP you can
identify what’s the search intent behind the
query and whether it matches your content.
