Keyword analysis

Find the searches that actually drive business, and a plan for what to win first.

What a keyword analysis is

A keyword analysis should end as a plan you can act on. We map demand, search intent, competition and commercial value, then tie it to the pages and topics that can move your business in classic search and in AI answers. It works on its own, or as a core deliverable in a Baseline.

You get one shared picture across marketing, content and management: what is a real opportunity, what is noise, and where the effort belongs first.

The output is a working document. It drives briefs, topic clusters and the first sprints, so the analysis turns into visible progress instead of a report nobody opens again.

Why it matters

Without a sharp analysis you are guessing. With one you know where the growth sits.

Most companies have plenty of search data and too little clarity. Big volumes pull attention, while the searches that actually convert, or where you have a realistic shot at winning, go unnoticed.

At the same time AI answers change how people find things. Ranking for a keyword is no longer the whole job. You need to understand the intent behind the question, which entities get named, and which content becomes the source the answer is built on.

How we run the analysis

From data to priorities, with the guesswork taken out.

We start with demand in classic search and in AI answers: what people ask, which intents sit behind the questions, and where you already have coverage or an obvious gap.

Then we weigh competition, realistic chance of winning and commercial value. Not every search is worth the same, and not every search is worth chasing right now.

Last we rank by opportunity against effort. You end up with an SEO backlog you can execute: what to win first, what can wait, and how the content should be shaped to match the intent.

What you get

What you get in hand

A map of your market: which questions get asked, what intent sits behind them (information, research or purchase), and where the demand sits in the search engines and in AI answers.

When it pays off most

The natural starting point before new content, a new strategy, or when the effort is scattered.

You are putting a Baseline in place, shifting focus or scaling content, and you need one shared picture of what deserves the investment.

You already publish steadily, but visibility does not follow. That usually comes down to priorities and the intent behind the articles, rarely to volume.

What we look at in the analysis

Demand and search volume are only the starting point. We split volume by intent, from information seeking through commercial research to purchase-ready queries, so you are not building content off the wrong signal.

Your current coverage shows where you are already close. Pages sitting in the middle of page one, thin clusters and URLs cannibalizing each other are usually faster wins than brand new topics.

Competitors set the bar: content depth, entity coverage, internal linking and authority. We use that to land on a realistic ambition instead of copying their sitemap page for page.

In AI answers we look at which questions come up, which sources get cited, and where you can become the preferred reference alongside a classic ranking.

Finally we filter by business: which searches sit closest to revenue, lead quality or strategically important categories. That lens is what makes the priority list sharp enough to execute.

A typical prioritized slice looks like this: (1) category searches with high purchase intent where you already sit on page one but lack depth, (2) comparison searches where competitors own the AI answers, (3) informational topics that build topical authority before the next sprint. That kind of clarity sits behind many of the results in our cases.
