1. Choose Primary and Secondary Target Keywords
Read the page’s content and identify two (2) or three (3) keywords that are most relevant to the overall page topic. Then use Keyword Grader to determine which long-tail keyword variations to target based on a balance between high monthly search volume and low difficulty. Don’t be afraid of lower monthly search volumes though, especially when you’re first starting out. The key is targeting keywords that have little competition, yet as high a search volume as possible.
Choose one (1) primary target keyword based on the primary focus of the page, and two (2) supporting secondary keywords per page. If you can’t identify one primary keyword for a page, then you’ll need to create new website pages to separate the concepts.
