1. Keyword Research

Keyword research hem i base blong konten strategi. No gat hem, yu i stap guessem wanem blong raetem. Wetem hem, yu i bildim pej blong ol queries we i alreadi gat demand.

Ol 4 dimenchan blong wan keyword:

Dimension	Wanem hem i minim	Wanem hem i metta
Volume	Monthly searches	Trafik potensial
Difficulty	Competition strength	Ranking probability
Intent	Wanem ol yuser i searc olgeta	Konten format match
CPC	Ad cost per click	Commercial value signal

Falaem keywords:

1. Seed keywords — Statim wetem produkt/service terms (ex: "project management software")
2. Long-tail expansion — Adum modifiers: "best project management software for remote teams 2026"
3. Question queries — "How to", "What is", "Why does" (gud blong blog konten)
4. Related searches — Google's "People also ask" mo "Related searches"
5. Competitor keywords — Wanem ol competitor i rank blong i no gat

Volume vs. difficulty trade-off:

High Volume + Low Difficulty = Gold (raer, grabim i mediately)
High Volume + High Difficulty = Long-term goal (bildim authority first)
Low Volume + Low Difficulty = Quick wins (stack plante blong dis)
Low Volume + High Difficulty = Avoid (poor ROI)

Quick win: Exportim ol Google Search Console queries (Performance > Queries). Sortim long impressions descending. Faendem queries we yu i aparem long pej 2 (positions 11-20) wetem high impressions. Diswan hemi ol best konten optimization targets blong yu — yu i klos long pej 1.

2. Search Intent Matching

Google i klasifai evri searc long wan intent kategori. Sapos konten blong yu i no match wetem intent, hem no go rank — no matter hao gud hem i.

Ol 4 intent types:

Intent	User wants to...	Konten format	Example query
Informational	Lesin samting	Blog post, gid, how-to	"wanem i minim technical seo"
Navigational	Faendem wan specific sait	Homepage, brand page	"langr seo login"
Commercial	Kompaem ol options	Comparison, review, list	"best seo tools 2026"
Transactional	Baem o sign up	Product page, pricing	"langr pro plan pricing"

Falaem intent:

1. Googleim keyword
2. Lukim top 5 results
3. Wanem format oli? (blog post, product page, list, video?)
4. Wanem angle oli tekem? (beginner, advanced, comparison?)
5. Matchim dat format mo angle — tanem i betta

Intent mismatch example:

• Query: "best running shoes"
• Wrong: Wan single product page blong wan shoe (transactional format for commercial intent)
• Right: Wan comparison article we i reviewim 10+ shoes wetem pros/cons

Quick win: Lukim yu top 20 pej long Search Console. Blong evri wan, Googleim primary keyword mo kompaem yu pej format wetem top 3 results. Sapos yu format i no match (ex: yu raetem wan blog post be Google i soim product pages), reformat o target wan difren keyword.

3. Konten Auditing

Bifor yu mekim niu konten, auditim wanem yu i alreadi gat. Most sait i gat konten we i olfala, underperforming, i competition wetem hemsef, o missing olgeta.

Ol 4-bucket konten audit:

Bucket	Criteria	Action
Keep	Ranking well, driving traffic	Monitor, minor updates
Improve	Page 2, high impressions, low CTR	Optimize title, refresh content
Merge	Plante pej targeting same keyword	Kombain long wan stronga pej
Remove	No traffic, no backlinks, outdated	301 redirect or noindex

Audit process:

1. Exportim ol URLs blong yu sitemap o crawl
2. Pulim trafik data (GSC o analytics) blong evri URL
3. Chekim rankings (weich keyword evri pej i rank for?)
4. Identifim cannibalization (plante pej i faet blong same keyword)
5. Kategorize long 4 buckets
6. Execute long ora: Remove/Merge first, then Improve, then create niu

Konten cannibalization signals:

• Tu pej i rank blong same keyword (alternating positions)
• Namba no pej i rank long top 5 (bota i weakened)
• Pej A i yusum blong rank well, bifo Pej B i bin published mo bota i drok

Quick win: Searc site:yourdomain.com "keyword" long Google. Sapos plante pej i aparem blong same keyword, yu i gat cannibalization. Kombain oli long wan definitif pej mo 301-redirect ol nara.

4. Topic Clusters

Topic clusters i organizem yu konten long wan hub-an-spoke model. Wan pillar page i coverim wan broad topic comprehensively, mo cluster pages i coverim specific subtopics long depth — ol i link bak blong pillar.

Wanem clusters i wok:

• Google i evaluatem topical authority (yu i coverim diswan subject deeply?)
• Internal links bitwin cluster pages i pasim relevens signals
• Ol yuser i faendem comprehensive ansa no lefum yu sait
• Yu i avoid cannibalization long design

Cluster structure example:

PILLAR: "Complete Guide to Remote Work" (3,000+ words)

├── CLUSTER: "How to Set Up a Home Office on a Budget"
├── CLUSTER: "Remote Work Communication Best Practices"
├── CLUSTER: "Managing Time Zones in Distributed Teams"

• Pillar page: broad topic, 2,000-5,000 words, links to ol clusters
• Cluster pages: specific subtopics, 1,000-2,500 words, link bak to pillar
• Evri cluster i target wan unique keyword (no overlap)
• Internal links i yusim descriptive anchor text (no "click here")
• Updateim se pillar taem niu clusters i aded

Quick win: Pikim yu most important service o produkt. Map out 5-8 kwestin we yu customers i ask long hem. Evri kwestin i kamap wan cluster page. Mekaem se pillar page we i tie oli tuka.

5. Konten Formats
