Keyword
A keyword is a word or phrase that users enter into search engines to find relevant content, and that website owners target within their content to achieve rankings for those queries. Keywords are the foundation of SEO strategy, connecting user search intent to the content a page provides.
Keyword identification and analysis is performed using tools like Ahrefs' Keywords Explorer, SEMrush's Keyword Magic Tool, Google Keyword Planner, and Moz Keyword Explorer. Key metrics evaluated include search volume, keyword difficulty, click-through potential, and user intent classification.
