  • Keyword research v1.0 to define site architecture & content types #008
    Oct 31 2021

    First iteration of keyword research

    • time vs making pages not perfect
    • tools - semrush, ahref, keywordtool.io, keywordinsights.ai
    • Structured vs non structured content
    • templated content (landing pages, products, directories)
    • structured
    • competitors architecture
    • work by template in a precise way but still reassess in future
    • non structured content (blog long form)
    • competitors articles + kw tools
    • doing vs precision
    • refine where to go and optimise kw research by series of articles not one by one
    • don't go back until article it's at peak and you have more for the same series

    recap

    • differentiate by content type the approach
    • don't waste too much time on day one vs launching pages
    • understand best time for each content format on revisiting the kw research and targeting

    Oct 15 2021

    After a long break and some exploration I am back on the project. Deciding between search and social it's a topic I went through during this slow phase.

    Started from securing social media handles

    How I thought about social as opposed to focus on search

    Evaluating search vs social opportunity and investment time frame

    A run through of social platforms and opportunities

    Feed based social platforms vs YouTube

    YouTube vs publishing SEO content

    Youtube if you plan to be serious about it in parallel with search.
