The complete guide to choosing keywords for SEO

Websites are starting to choose keyword keywords from  keyword

planner,  so he begins by choosing a general word in the field of his website/blog and writes, for example

(Cars, real estate, used phones, etc.) Then he chooses some words that…

Google suggests it to him and based on it, he builds his website pages.

This method is not effective at all and will not guarantee the success of your site, especially since Google

It gives you some suggestions for words similar to the word you entered, but it does not give you…

All available keyword ideas.

More important than choosing the keyword is knowing the language the visitor speaks, or the visitor’s goal in the search process

It may be strange words to you, so how will you know the visitor’s goal?

.. Will I judge intentions?

Let us give you a small example. If you have a blog like a marketing blog and you deal with b

Some explanations about SEO, and now you want to write a complete guide about

Explanation of SEO  and we have (2 types of visitors: Tamer , Ahmed ).

Tamer : He does not have a general background in search engine optimization, but it is a type of marketing

It helps him get his website to the first page of Google.

Ahmed : He has a commercial website/ profitable blog and has already done the basics of configuration

His site is internally and externally and has risen in some results on Google.

I wonder if I wrote an article explaining the search engine optimization process, you would write the same

The article is by Tamer and the same article by Ahmed? Answer: No

Will Tamer write the keyword in the search box that is the same word that…

Will Ahmed write it in the search box? Answer: No

Suppose, for example, that you chose the word (Search Engine Optimization Explained), so this is it

An informational word in which the visitor wants to obtain some information about SEO, is it

It will benefit you or the visitor if you choose this word for a page on your site that you present

Paid consultation for website owners? Answer: No

Therefore, we will follow systematic steps to obtain semantic words

(Knowing what the visitor wants >> getting the idea >> knowing the number of searchers >>

competitor analysis)

The article is large and contains a lot of tasks that you must apply to it

You may need to save the article (Save as bookmark) and refer to it to do it well.

Keywords

Before you choose keywords, you should know that there are three types of

Search words

1.  Informational words : The visitor needs to know some things or information about

Certain things in your market, for example / profit from the Internet, how to create a WordPress blog.

2. Legal words : Now the visitor learned about ways to profit from the Internet and found

The most suitable thing for him is to create a blog and blog, but he is hesitant to choose a hosting company

It will be written in the search: “The best hosting companies”, how do I choose hosting

Suitable for my site.

3. Purchasing words : The visitor decided to purchase hosting from Bluehost , but he wants

To obtain more information about the company or an offer, he will type in Google:

Bluehost company review, discount coupons from Bluehost.

Every stage the visitor goes through must be taken into consideration. How will he benefit from your blog?

How do you move it from the first step to the second step, or from the second step to the second step?

The third? This is known as the Buyer Journey because the visitor does not buy from the first day!

 

Step 1: Get keyword ideas

First, you need to get as many keyword and topic ideas as possible

About which you can write articles for your blog (regardless of the number of searches)

But you want to get general ideas.

Determine the personality of your target visitors to attract them to your blog and anticipate what the general topics will be

What do you think they care about?

Anyone interested in making a profit from the Internet needs to know the different traffic sources/

Ways to profit without a large investment / creating and managing websites / tools and templates that

He will rely on it without having experience in design, programming, etc.

There are some sources we will turn to to get these ideas

1 ~ Forums 

Despite the widespread spread of social media, forums are still…

Effective means of communication and an environment for presenting content among interested people

Type in Google  “keyword” + “forums”, for example if your keyword is: education

Children, we will write in the search box “ raising children” + “forums ”

 

Now, browse the results that will appear to you from the forums, then browse the sections

What the forum includes, you will find in each section new ideas, and also browse some

Website addresses written in this forum, you will find many and more ideas.

2 ~ Wikipedia

The large site, which is visited by millions of visitors and is considered a treasure trove of information in more than…

Language, you will definitely find great articles for the market you are talking about and unique ideas

For this market, how about you get more keyword ideas?

Go to Wikipedia and type a general word in your market, for example: raising children

 

You will find many pages on the site that talk about raising children

Select some of these pages and look at the  “ Contents” section on the page

 

There are a lot of ideas for content and keywords you can get from

The contents of each page are present.

3 ~  Social bookmarking

Social bookmarking refers to sites where the public participates

By sharing his favorite pages and articles, one of the most famous of these channels is

Reddit is in foreign content, but there is not much of it in Arabic content

We do not know anything like this other than the i/o calculation , and you can also rely on groups

Facebook and get some ideas from it.

4 ~ Self-education sites

 Self-education sites that offer you training courses, including free ones

Paid, whether foreign, such as Udemy , Coursera , or Arabic, such as Edraak ,

Rwaq  is the best place where you can get content ideas or ideas

For semantic words, especially if you are providing educational content, because the lecturer

He took care in choosing the course topics and therefore they are great topics that you can enjoy

Talk about it.

For example, we will choose the Rwaq platform and start searching for courses related to “education.”

 

There are about (40) educational materials in this section. After a quick look, we will find that

The child behavior guidance course is suitable for us.

We will choose this course and then browse the (Subject Curriculum) section.

 

We also see that the trainer chose to explain (guiding the child’s behavior) and addressed this

The course covers the causes of negative behavior in children, steps to modify behavior, etc.

Through these courses you can get a lot of great ideas.

5~Competitors

Of course, I have collected the best blogs and websites in your field

A list of leading competitors with some famous words in the field in which

You work in it.

We will rely on this wonderful tool >> Similar web  and copy the URL

The competitor’s basic profile and putting it in the search box will show you a lot of information

About it (part of the information is free and part is paid but we will depend on the part

Free at first).

Then we go to the search box and you will find the keywords that bring the most visitors to the site

For example, if we analyze the “Mawdoo3” website in the aforementioned manner

 

You will find the most keywords through which visitors come to the site, for example 0.78%

From visitors to the topic who come from search engines with the word “crafts and professions.”

“Prophets”… So perhaps you might write a topic in your blog based on this word.

6 ~ Get more

In this method, we will rely on a wonderful free tool, which  is keywordtool

By putting your keyword in the search box and you can specify the language/search engine/

The target country comes to you with hundreds of keyword ideas.

We also explained that the goal of the previous six steps is to obtain more…

Ideas for content and keywords (regardless of monthly search rate

And the exact words we will choose.

.. Simply put, the semantic words that we will choose will be divided into two parts

Short words:  They contain (two or three words) and are

The average search is more than 2000 searches per month, for example / weight loss,

self-defense.

The advantage of choosing such words is that you receive thousands of visitors every month to your site from an article

One and without much effort, but it has the disadvantage that the competition is often great

You cannot reach the first result easily, especially if your site is new.

Long words : They contain more than three words and are average

The monthly research is small, but it is targeted, for example/ways to lose weight for women

Pregnant women, means of self-defense for women in the street

Your choice of these words will be very targeted, as you know what the visitor is looking for

Exactly, and you can create a suitable page for it, and the competition is small, and you can

Get to the first page without much effort.

But you will spend a lot of effort and time to get a large number of visitors.

Imagine that you chose ten short words, each of which has a monthly search rate

500. You will write 10 articles in order to get only 5,000 visitors per month

From search engines!

As we explained, each type has its advantages and disadvantages, so you need to make a combination in choosing

Words: Choose some short words and some long words.

Step 2: Identify keywords

In the previous step, we obtained a large number of ideas for content

Semantic words will be discussed on our website, but what are the words?

Which will we take and rely on in our website?

.. We will rely on the wonderful free tool that Google offers us, which is

(Keyword planner)

First we will create a Google AdWords account (free)

Register on Google AdWords

Then we go to Tools >> Keyword Planner

Google AdWords List1

Now you will find that key word planner gives you 3 options for obtaining keywords

The most important choice for us which allows you to get more semantic ideas

And know the monthly search rate based on the word/sentence that you entered

“Search for new keywords using a phrase, website or category”

It is the most important option for us to know the number of monthly searches for keywords

Enter the set of keywords you specified in the first step by placing

A comma between each word like this (Search Engine Optimization, Email Marketing

Email, content writing, Google ranking factors, etc.)

Then select the location/language (if you do not have a local company, select all countries and all languages)

As for the rest of the search options provided by keyword planner, they are suitable for advertisers on AdWords

Now click on Get ideas

 

You will be shown the average monthly searches (Avg. search monthly) for the words

That you entered and you will also find below some suggestions that you can

Use it.

For (competition, suggest bid, ad impr. share, add to plan)

This is information for advertisers on AdWords and is not related to SEO

Delete words that have poor search rate and choose good ones

As we explained (some are short words and some are long words), let us analyze

Competition is next.

Step 3: Competitor analysis

Take one of the words you chose and type in the Google search engine

Naturally, just like a normal user, so you know the pages and sites

Leaderboard on this word.

Take the first 3 results that appear and analyze some things about them

Knowing the trust of the site and the trust of the page that tops the keyword

(Domain authority& page authority)

In this step, we will use the Open site explorer tool provided by Moz or…

You can rely on the add-on it provides to the browser, which is  MozBar .

 This tool will help us to know the strength of the position we have in order to rise to this

Just enter the URL.

Now I will search on Google for: bodybuilding for beginners

And I’m going to take one of the top results and analyze it with the banana tool

Use the banana tool

We will take into account more than one piece of information that the tool gives me

Domain authority : This is the trust of the domain itself on which the site is built. as we see

For the displayed model >> 8/100 is a weak rating and the site has little trust with Google.

If you are going to create a new website and you are making a good effort in optimizing it for engines

Search, God willing, you will be able to defeat any Domain authority site >> 25

2- Page authority : which is the trustworthiness of the aforementioned page. We also see the page’s trust rating

1/100 means there is no trust for the mentioned page.

3.  Spam score:  The tool’s evaluation of the amount of spam on the site (more than 4/16) is an evaluation

Negatively, the site relies on spam. As for the aforementioned site, its rating is 6/16

This means that he takes some black hat roads and his location is not good.

4. Established domains : These are the sites that point to it (Backlink).

Root domains : means the number of domains that point to it.

total domains : The total number of pages or backlinks.

The number is supposed to be close, for example if Root domains = 5

And Total domains = 100, this means that he has 100 backlinks from 5 sites

It is best to get a backlink or two from each site so that it is not felt

Google that you agree with the site owners.

As for the mentioned site, it has 0 backlinks.

So as a general analysis of the site we can overcome it very easily and we will include a word

(Bodybuilding for Beginners) for the words that you will work on for your website.

One of the things you will evaluate yourself is Search intent

(Visitor’s goal in the search process)

If we think a little about the person who is searching for bodybuilding exercises for beginners

We would have known that he is a common person who started new in bodybuilding and joined a gym

It’s close to home, and he wants to get some exercise and a schedule to follow

To reach his goal of sports, with a healthy and athletic body at first.

It is as if he asks Google and says to him: Google, I am a beginner in bodybuilding

He is torn between gym equipment and the captain does not have much experience and is not available

Always for me, I want a site with an expert who can explain to me a schedule that is suitable for me.

If we analyze the first results, we will never find that they answer this question

Or an explanation of the good system and schedule that a beginner follows.

The beginner needs to arrange the exercises, taking into account whether he is skinny or fat.

And the steps it takes (what does it start with and what does it end with)

Explanations will need to be in GIFs or videos, and perhaps some

Nutritional advice.

Do the top sites on this word not provide content with these qualities? So you

You can overcome them by providing better content and moving up in search engines.

Don’t think that you are doing a routine job or that writing content and knowing Search intent is not important.

Because Google has made significant developments in its search algorithms and the spiders that rely on them

It tries well to rely on artificial intelligence to know exactly what the visitor wants.

..And if you search more and read about Search intent, you will know how important it is to Google

And also for the visiting visitor, of course (: .

The last thing you will analyze on competitor sites is the site’s internal performance

There are some things that Google takes into consideration for your site’s performance

By improving the user experience process, Google knows this from visitor behavior

Your location, such as: the time a visitor sits on the site, exit speed

The visitor from the site and clicking on (Back). Will the visitor navigate within the pages of your site?

There are some things on your site that will help you increase improvements

1 ~ User experience​ ​

What experience will the user have when browsing the site?

Is it a good experience or a bad experience?

If the website owner uses a bad template so that words and images overlap

Some of them, or the speech is not coordinated enough, or there are too many ads (Pop

up) by simply clicking on any space on the site page.

The user will have a negative experience while browsing the site and may exit

Once again, you can overcome this part of your site.

2 ~ Site speed ( Page speed )

It is a very important factor because if the visitor finds your site slow and the page takes 10

For example, for a few seconds, he will often not be patient and will not complete the browsing process.

We will rely on the  PageSpeed ​​Insights tool  provided by Google to evaluate your speed

And your site’s performance by giving you a general indication of its performance on desktop or mobile

By entering the link of the target site to be analyzed.

 

As you can see, Google gives me a green signal for my site and a rating of 87/100 on

Desktop and this is a very good rating, but 75/100 on mobile is considered a rating

Average but not bad.

If the rating gives you a red signal, it means that the site speed is bad and there is

Some things must be fixed by the programmer. We previously talked about how owners can

Websites increase the speed and performance of improving their WordPress sites without having programming skills .

3 ~ Social signals

We also explained that social participation is a necessary factor on which it depends

Google, it knows how interested people are in the content you provide to them and your posts

With their friends.

We will rely on this tool to find out the number of social shares for a particular page.

All you have to do is enter the link to the target page and you will get it

Report on the number of social shares

Know the number of social shares

You find that this page received more than 8,000 shares on Facebook and 34

Share on Google+ (quite a big number, isn’t it!)

If you find that a competitor has received a large number of social shares

So keep in mind that you are getting a greater number of it, or superior to it in factors

other for your site.

4 ~ Configuration for mobile phone

Now thousands of visitors come to you from mobile phones, and if your site is not ready to appear

Well, this will be a negative factor for Google.

We will rely on this tool to find out if a competitor’s site is friendly

For mobile phone or not.

 

The site we tested is well optimized for mobile to read on small mobile screens without problems.

But if a competitor’s site is not mobile-friendly, this is a weakness that you can overcome.

Now we have done the wonderful series to get semantic words

 Knowing what the visitor wants >> Getting the idea >> Knowing the number of searchers

>> Competitor analysis >> Word selection

In fact, the process is big and requires a lot of effort from you, but it is your choice

For keywords, the effort is really worth it.

The SEO process begins with choosing keywords in a healthy manner. Imagine that you have

By choosing the wrong words, then I wrote the content and made marketing efforts

It is very important for marketing your site or improving its appearance in search engines.

I regret to tell you that all this effort may have been in vain…

Imagine that the visitor is searching for a specific topic with a specific word and you want it to appear

A page on your website that talks about something else, isn’t this misleading the visitor? Is that what

Does Google want it or does it want to improve the user experience in using the search engine?

We hope you have benefited from this article to learn about the process of choosing keywords

Like a professional, if you find this useful information, we hope you share it with your friends

Those interested in optimizing their sites for search engines.
