Beginners Guide To Keyword Research For SEO

by Nick Eubanks

4.6
47 ratings

Keyword research is quite possibly the most important part of SEO.

You cannot plan for a search campaign unless you know which keywords to target, and you cannot estimate costs and returns from SEO unless you know who you’re competing against.

I have spent years creating a process that has helped me to grow new websites to over 100,000 organic visits per month, that is proven and repeatable.

This guide will take you through all of the details in my process, including:

  • How To Identify The Best Keywords For Your Website
    This is a step-by-step walkthrough, highlighting all of the tools I use, including Google's new Keyword Planner and Display Planner.
  • How To Identify Search Intent
    One of the most important pieces of keyword research is to understand how your target audience looks for information, how they indicate context, and how these keywords can be grouped to move visitors through your conversion funnel.
  • How To Do SEO Competitive Analysis
    I will show you quick ways to identify your site's top ranking potential and calculate the cost and timeline it will take to get there.
  • How To Create A Keyword Opportunity Model
    Every keyword is a unique opportunity to gain qualified traffic to your website. You will get a copy of the actual Excel model I use to evaluate thousands of keywords at a time, and I will show you how to set it up for your website.
  • How To Build a Keyword Matrix
    If built properly a keyword matrix can increase your rankings and keyword spread exponentially. I give you my Excel template, complete with sample data, and show you step by step how to build it out.
  • How To Conduct A Keyword Performance Audit
    I will show you how to use Google Analytics to get an immediate sense of how your SEO efforts are working, and where you're leaving money on the table.

I've have also included never before shared tips and hacks for getting the most keyword data possible out of Google.

Bonus Features:

  • Keyword Funnel Templates
  • Download Link to Free Keyword Combiner Tool
  • Keyword Opportunity Template
  • Download Link for Free Search Intent Template for Excel

This guide will remain evergreen.
I will continue to update this guide as I come across new information, complete new tests, and when there are changes needed to keep the information accurate.

The information in this guide is useful, but it's the *exact same* information and text used in his blog posts. You don't need to pay to get it!

This is an excellent and easy to understand keyword research guide. Ideal for beginner to intermediate search marketers. It coverts all the important points you need to consider when doing keyword research for SEO, pro tips, and recommended tools. I have really enjoyed Section 6 "Create A Keyword Evaluation Model". A guide I will keep at hand and recommend.
