SEO Keyword Research

A prioritized opportunity map that separates near-term article ideas, supporting clusters, evidence, and topics to avoid.

The problem

Keyword research produces broad high-volume lists when it is not anchored to the business, audience, product proximity, and existing authority.

AI can connect keyword data, SERP patterns, competitor evidence, and project context while the operator owns positioning and priority.

What you do

  1. State the business goal, audience, product proximity, markets, and topics to avoid.
  2. Choose approved keyword and competitor data sources.
  3. Review the opportunity map and select content priorities.

What the agent does

  1. Translate the business brief into explicit opportunity criteria before collecting data.
  2. Use approved keyword, SERP, and competitor sources and preserve provenance.
  3. Cluster by intent and business fit, score with transparent tradeoffs, and propose concrete article angles.

When this workflow helps

A reusable method, adapted to the request.

  • A project needs SEO opportunities from seed terms, competitors, or an agent-defined research angle.

Before it starts

Connection required

  • A business goal, audience, market, and product-proximity boundary
  • Topics to include and avoid
  • Connected keyword and SERP data sources or approved exports

What proves it worked

Evidence, not a success claim.

  • Source-linked keyword set
  • Intent and business-fit clusters
  • Transparent priority scoring
  • Concrete article angles and avoidance list

Workflow path

The reusable stages of the work.

A real run expands these stages around the request, context, selected tools, approvals, and dependencies.

4 ordered workflow stages

    Capture Learning

    Record reusable lessons or rejected patterns for future runs.

    Verified outcome

Safe stopping and recovery

Useful even when the whole path cannot run.

  • Stop after the prioritized opportunity map; article production is a separate approved job.
  • If a provider is unavailable, use approved exports or stop with the exact missing dataset.
  • Do not fill the report with broad terms that fail the product-proximity or authority test.
