Why Keyword Research is the Foundation of SEO

Keyword research is the first step in building a long-term SEO strategy that drives organic traffic and leads. By identifying high-ranking, relevant keywords, you can:

• ✅ Optimize your website for search demand

• ✅ Improve Google rankings

• ✅ Attract more visitors who are searching for your services

Socially Versed simplifies keyword research with an AI-powered tool that helps you find, analyze, and select the best keywords for your business.

📍 Where is the Keyword Research Tool in Socially Versed?

The Keyword Research tool can be found under the "Strategy" tab in your Socially Versed dashboard.

💡 Pro Tip: If you're unsure where to start, use the "Suggested Keywords" feature to see AI-powered recommendations for your business.

🔑 How to Use the Keyword Research Tool

1️⃣ Enter a seed keyword – Start by typing a keyword related to your business, like "DIY SEO software" or "best local marketing tools."

2️⃣ Review keyword suggestions – Socially Versed will generate a list of high-ranking keywords, along with their search volume & difficulty level.

3️⃣ Analyze Search Volume – This metric tells you how many people search for a keyword each month.

4️⃣ Check Keyword Difficulty – Keywords are ranked as Low, Medium, High, or Very High based on competition.

💡 Pro Tip: If you're new to SEO, start with Low or Medium difficulty keywords for faster rankings.

⏳ Estimated Ranking Timeline:

✔ Low-difficulty keywords: 3-6 months

✔ Medium-difficulty keywords: 6-12 months

✔ High-difficulty keywords: 12+ months

📊 Example Keyword Analysis

Keyword Search Volume Difficulty Worth Targeting?

• "DIY SEO Software" 8,100 Low ✅ Yes - Service-specific

• "SEO Agency Near Me" 5,600 Very High ❌ No - Highly competitive

• "SEO for Small Businesses" 3,500 Medium ✅ Yes - Niche-targeted

💡 Pro Tip: If your business serves a specific location, target geo-specific keywords like "SEO services in Miami" instead of broad terms like "SEO agency near me."

📌 Keyword Filters & Additional Tools

Socially Versed allows you to filter and refine keyword selection with powerful tools:

🔹 Your Ranked Keywords – Find keywords you're already ranking for in Google

🔹 Blog Ideas – Get AI-generated SEO-friendly blog titles

🔹 Competitor Keywords – Discover what your competitors rank for

✅ AI Review – Let AI analyze your selected keywords and recommend improvements before moving forward.

🚀 Part 2: Keyword Mapping (The Keyword Sitemap)

Now that you’ve selected your keywords, it’s time to assign them to specific pages on your website. This is called Keyword Mapping and is a critical step in building a well-optimized website.

📌 Why is Keyword Mapping Important?

✔ Helps search engines understand what your pages are about

✔ Ensures each page ranks for the right keywords

✔ Avoids Keyword Cannibalization (competing with your own pages)

🔍 How to Map Keywords in Socially Versed

• 1️⃣ Go to the Keyword Sitemap tool under the "Strategy" tab.

• 2️⃣ Add pages to your sitemap – Include homepages, service pages, product pages, and blogs.

• 3️⃣ Assign 3-4 keywords per page – Avoid keyword stuffing and keep keywords highly relevant to each page.

• 4️⃣ Use Auto-Assign Feature – Let Socially Versed automatically assign keywords if they’re already ranking.

⚠️ Keyword Pitfalls to Avoid

❌ Keyword Cannibalization: When multiple pages compete for the same keyword, hurting rankings.

❌ Keyword Confusion: If a keyword is already ranking for one page, avoid reassigning it to another.

✅ Fix: Use AI Review to check for conflicts and optimize your keyword assignments.

Final Steps: AI Review & Optimization

Once you've mapped your keywords, run an AI Review to:

• ✅ Ensure keywords align with your business

• ✅ Spot keyword conflicts & errors

• ✅ Get recommendations for improvement

Once complete, you’ll see a ✅ Green Checkmark (good to go) or a ⚠️ Yellow Warning (needs attention).
