How to get best keywords for SEO?

You know, keywords are the Key to SEO in showcasing what our page is all about to search engines. That's how we get ranked for the search queries that are relevant to our website.

There are plenty of keyword listing methods that either I, as a digital marketer follow or many of you follow. Here is one among them, a step-by-step guide to finding the best keywords for SEO for any website:

--> Understand the business: This is the first and most crucial step. If you don't know the business your client is into, chances are you wouldn't understand what is important for your client. The way to nail this is by involving clients as much as you can. Arrange calls with the client, and get a brief from them. Ask them questions about their target audience and what they want to achieve with SEO. Ask them for keywords that they believe can be helpful

--> Check out the competitors: Chances are competitors have already done all the research and found out the best keywords for them. Going through the competitors' websites may help you save time and look in the right direction.

--> Find seed keywords first: There are literally thousands of keywords out there but not all of them are important or primary to your business. Find 4–5 keywords that are most relevant to the business and have a decent search volume. Relevancy is the key to getting the right kind of traffic on the website.

Use these seeds keywords to find more keywords.

--> Use refine option KW planner: Google keyword planner provides an option on the right to refine the keywords. This really comes in handy when you want to remove your competitors' keywords from the list

--> Go through keywords one by one: Once you have a sufficient number of keywords, do go through them one by one and eliminate any unnecessary keywords from the list

Why Should You Set Up Google Analytics 4?



Universal Google analytics has been good enough for tracking visitors on the website and seeing how they interact with it But with the new features available in GA4, there are even more benefits to switching over right now!

1. Better attribution models

In UA, you can only set one attribution model per view—but now, with #GA4, you can have multiple attribution models running simultaneously and compare their results side-by-side. It will help you understand which campaigns are more successful than others at generating conversions so that you can optimize your strategy accordingly!

2. Better integration with other Google products

GA4 integrates well into the other Google platforms such as AdWords or Search Console. It means that you don't have to bounce back and forth between multiple sites when analyzing your data—everything will be right where you need it! So, if something goes wrong on one of these platforms, it will show up in Analytics too!

3. Understand Customer Life-cycle

GA 4 comes with an event-based measurement model that can now track user interaction when they visit your website from their phone, log in to their account on their laptop, then buy something with an app later. GA4 will connect all those interactions to see what happened when and where at each step!

4. Generate Predictive Insights from Data

GA4 allows you to generate predictive insights from the data on your site. It uses machine learning to create sophisticated predictions about user behavior and conversions. If a user does one thing, you can predict that they will do another. With this helpful feature, you can predict what will happen in the future based on what's already happening.

5. Engagement Metrics over bounce rate

Instead of giving you the bounce rate, or the percentage of users that leave a page without any interaction, GA4 gives you positive data on user engagement. A session is considered engaged when it lasts for at least 10 seconds, has at least one conversion event, or involves at least two page views.

Enhanced measurement events—such as scroll, site search, video engagement, and file downloads—let you know exactly how users are interacting with your site and content.

Explanation of the content life cycle for your #SEO clients

 Explanation of the content life cycle for your #SEO clients [so you get approvals to update old content] 👇


When you've studied the performance of individual blog posts at scale, a pattern emerges.

A piece of content will often follow a similar life cycle that has a big impact on how your content performs.

+ ESPECIALLY as you get to 100s or 1000s of blog posts on your site.


1️⃣ Early Traction

When you publish new content, it will take some time for it to start to rank/drive organic traffic.

How long this stage lasts is based on a number of factors:

- Authority on published topics
- Amount of related content on your site
- Backlinks
- Etc.

What this might look like in GSC:

You might notice a few mini spikes in traffic here and there for a couple of months.

Impressions will show up first, followed by clicks.

Keywords with the most impressions will fluctuate while Google continues to "understand" your post.

2️⃣ Growth

As your content gains more backlinks and ranks higher and for more queries, the organic traffic to the post will continue to grow.

Every post and topic is different in terms of how fast the growth happens/for how long.

What this will look like in GSC:

The longest tail/most accurate queries will generate clicks early on.

As you add internal links/backlinks - and Google understands more context, you'll see more queries generated.

As rankings for these new queries also rise and featured snippets/PAA are achieved, you'll continue to see increases.

3️⃣ Peak

The peak stage is when the growth starts to taper off.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: This is going to happen no matter what. A single piece of content will not grow forever.

Reasons a piece of content might peak:

• It stopped gaining backlinks/is no longer improving in the SERPs

• The post reached the top slot for the keywords in the topic and has hit a natural ceiling/limited by the total searches per month

• A competitor has published new content/updated their content
The peak stage is also very dynamic.

For some URLs, it may only remain at the peak for days or weeks before moving into the decay stage.

Or it may plateau at the peak and stay that way for months. Not growing, not decaying.

4️⃣ Decay

As older content becomes less relevant and/or less competitive in the SERP, it will move out of the peak/plateau stage and begin to decay.

It may not be “old” per se. Competitive/time-relevant topics see shorter life cycles than evergreen content.

Decay happens as your rankings slowly drop.

The largest appearances of decay are often associated with:

- Losing a featured snippet spot on page 1
- Slowly sliding down the rankings
- Falling from page 1 to page 2

The biggest culprits of decay:

👉 Content age (relevance)
👉 Internal competition (cannibalization)
👉 External competition (competitor posts)
👉 Search intent shifts (query intent has evolved)
👉 Topical depth (your 500-word blog is no longer covering enough of the topic)

Local SEO - Key Takeaways


It's optimizing your website and content for a specific geographical area. This can be done by targeting keywords that are relevant to your location, as well as creating local business listings and citations.


So, how do you go about doing this? Here are a few tips:

1. Target local keywords

When creating content, target keywords that are relevant to your location. This will help to improve your website's ranking in local search results.

2. Create local business listings and citations

Make sure to create local business listings and citations on directories like Google My Business, Yelp, and Foursquare. This will help to improve your website's visibility and credibility.

3. Optimize your website for mobile devices

Since most people now search for local businesses on their mobile devices, it's important to optimize your website for mobile devices. This can be done by using a responsive design or creating a separate mobile site.

4. Use locally targeted ads

Google AdWords offers a variety of locally-targeted adoptions, which can help to improve your website's visibility in local search results.

5. Monitor your website's performance

It's important to monitor your website's performance in local search results so that you can make necessary changes and improvements. You can use tools like Google Search Console to do this.

6. Monitor your competitors' performance in local search results

It's also a good idea to monitor your competitors' performance in local search results so that you can try and outrank them. Again, Google Search Console can help with this.
