Keyword Research That Earns Traffic, Not a 10,000-Row Spreadsheet

Most keyword research stops at search volume and hands you a CSV nobody opens. Mine maps intent, finds the topical gaps your competitors miss, and turns it into a publishing plan. You get 200 keywords that matter, each with a brief and a slot on your calendar.

Why your keyword list isn’t pulling traffic

📊

Volume obsession

Chasing 50,000-volume head terms you’ll never outrank instead of the long-tails that actually convert and rank in months, not years.

🎯

Intent mismatch

Targeting informational keywords on a sales page, or commercial terms on a blog post. Google sends the traffic somewhere else.

🏝️

Isolated keywords

No clusters, no hub-and-spoke structure, no semantic links. Single posts can’t build the topical authority Google rewards.

📉

Copying competitors

Targeting only what the top 10 already rank for, while ignoring the gaps they left wide open for you.

📋

Spreadsheet graveyard

5,000 keywords in a CSV with no priority, no briefs, and no order. So nothing gets written.

🔄

Stale research

Keyword data from two years ago. Search behavior shifted, AI Overviews changed the SERP, and your list never caught up.

What you actually get

A content strategy built on intent and competitive gaps, not a keyword dump. Every priority term ships with a brief.

  • Seed expansion through Ahrefs plus manual research
  • Search intent classified for every keyword
  • Topical clusters mapped hub-and-spoke for authority
  • Competitor gap analysis across your top 10 rivals
  • SERP feature and AI Overview opportunities flagged
  • A content brief for every priority keyword
  • A 12-month editorial calendar in publishing order
  • Quarterly refresh so the plan tracks on-page SEO shifts

Before and after

10,000 keywords, no plan→200 prioritized terms with briefs
Random one-off posts→Clustered content that builds authority
Copying competitor terms→Targeting the gaps they miss
One-time research→Quarterly refresh, always current

How I research your keywords

1

Seed discovery

I audit your content, study your niche, and pull seeds from your goals, customer questions, and competitor blind spots.

2

Expand & classify

Every keyword gets expanded in Ahrefs, tagged by intent, and scored on difficulty versus real opportunity.

3

Cluster architecture
