Get a 14-day free trial instead of a 7-Day trial so now we’re logged into our Sam Rush account and we can already see on the left side all the different tools that we can use to optimize our website to rank higher on Google Now I’m not

Going to be going through each and every single one of them in this video in detail because this video video would be over 5 hours long I’m going to be focusing on the most important ones that you’ll be using implementing the keyword research process I’m going to be showing

You and also the process to optimize your content and your website in general samas has also sorted all of these tools into different categories so here we have the SEO tools local SEO advertising social media content marketing Trends and agency Solutions so Semus is kind of like an all-in-one marketing tool but

The strength is definitely in the SEO tools and in this video we’re going to be focusing mostly on this tab here the SEO tools all right so now I’m going to show you a stepbystep keyword research process to find key opportunities for your website and Industry so the first

Thing you want to do is come over to the SEO tools and then under keyword research click on the keyword magic tool then here here we’re going to have to enter a seed keyword this is going to be the starting point for Sam rush to find more keyword ideas and

Opportunities for your industry so for example let’s say we are in the AI tool Niche and maybe we’ve created a website with AI tools or we are a Blog writing about AI tools the first thing as a seed keyword I would enter here is just AI tools and then click on

Search and now with we can see that Sam Rush gives us a lot of different keyword ideas related to AI tools but before we go through each of these ideas I want to First go through each of the different metrics that Sam Rush shows us for each of these keywords because it’s really

Important that you understand what everything means so that you can make good decisions about what keywords are actually a good opportunity and what you should not go for so the First Column shows you the intent of the keyword this is one of the most important important things you want to think about when

Deciding what keyword to Target and also how to create your content to make sure you rank for that keyword so intent just basically means what is the person who typed that phrase into the search bar actually looking for what is the goal of that person and Sam Rush basically gives

You four different intent categories there is commercial there is informational there’s navigational and then we also have transactional and here we can see an overview of all of these different intent categories so the first category is navigational so for example if somebody just types in Subaru website

Then this person just wants to go to the specific website which is Subaru then we have informational when somebody types in what is a good car then the person is not really ready to buy a car yet the person just wants to find some information about how to make the

Decision what car to buy then we have commercial investig ation when people compare different providers or services like Subaru versus Nissan this person is not quite yet ready to buy a car it’s still trying to um compare different brands to finally make the decision which brand to go for and then we have

Transactional when somebody types in buy Subaru Forester this is really specific and the buy definitely shows us that this person is ready to actually buy the car so this person is the furthest along in the funnel to becoming a customer now it doesn’t make sense for us to go for

Navigational keywords if we aren’t really the Subaru website so what we want to be focusing on is mainly on informational commercial and transactional the most valuable keyword in terms of each click is definitely the transactional one because people who type in these keywords are further along

And it’s a lot easier for us to convert them into a client or a customer compared compared to let’s say informational intent keywords because those people are just just looking for information and aren’t ready to buy something yet so looking at the keyword intent will give you a good idea about

How likely it is for the traffic to convert into customers or clients compared to other keywords so the conversion rate for the transactional keywords is a lot higher compared to the conversion rate of the commercial keywords and then the conversion rate here is a lot higher than the conversion

Rate of informational keywords so this is also how I would prioritize targeting different types of keywords also taking into account how much traffic volume there is for those keywords and the volume we can see in the third column this shows us the average monthly searches over a 12month period for our

Keyword so on average about 15,000 people type in AI tools into the search bar per month so obviously the high higher volume the better because if more people search for something potentially the more traffic you can get but usually the higher the volume the uh difficulty

To rank for that keyword is also higher then in the next column we have Trend which shows us the trend of the searches over a 12- month period so for AI tools we can see that the trend is going up which is a good sign if you want to

Target that keyword it just shows us that the interest in AI tools is actually going up over time then sometimes you also have these spikes here so for example for Dragon AI tool we can see that there was a big spike a few months ago but now the searches are

Really low so just you want to keep that in mind so don’t expect to just get 1,900 in traffic volume for that keyword every single month because there was just a big spike which increased this number um but maybe now it only gets like a 100 or even less searches per

Month and then you probably don’t want to Target this keyword uh if you compare it to other ones who have a more stable Trend in general I would recommend to just go for more stable keywords like for example AI writing tools here you can see there’s a consistent demand for

This keyword and it’s a lot easier to predict if it’s going to be worth it to Target at this keyword instead of just uh looking at these spikes which are really unpredictable then we have keyword difficulty which is also one of the most important metrics you want to take into

Account when deciding what keywords to Target the higher the number the more difficult it will be to rank for that keyword so in the next step we’re going to be filtering out all of these difficult ones so we only see the keywords that we actually have a chance

For ranking with a new website obviously if you have a website that has a higher authority then you can also go for keywords that are a bit more difficult to rank for but in the beginning if you have a new website it makes no sense to try and go for keywords that are

Difficult or even very hard to rank for just because it’s going to be uh virtually impossible for you to rank for them so you will not get any traffic even though the volume of this keyword is quite High then we have CPC which stands for cost per click this will give

You an idea about what advertisers are willing to pay per click to show their website to people who type in that keyword so you probably know that when you type in something on Google let’s say AI tools then there’s always these sponsored posts that are at the top and

Also some in the middle and for example Sam rush because it says sponsored are paying to appear here at the top of the search results and if I would click on here they would probably pay around $220 uh for just getting the click onto their website usually that also shows

You how valuable that keyword is so for the keywords that are more likely to convert into customers those keywords usually have a higher CPC which means advertisers are willing to pay more to appear for those keywords and then we have competitive density this gives you an idea about how many advertisers are

Trying to show their website for this keyword and the higher the number here the more advertisers there are so the higher their competition then under Ser features we can see about how many Ser features there are for this keyword so for example for AI tools we are not only

Seeing these regular um website results in the search we also see things like people also ask or when we scroll further down we can see related searches sometimes you also have videos from YouTube or like shopping things on the right side and these are called Ser features and in general the more Ser

Features you have here the less real estate there is on the page for your regular website that you want to rank so that’s makes it a bit harder to rank on the first page or higher on Google because there are all these Ser features in between but I wouldn’t worry about

This too much to be honest then we have the number of results shown for that keyword and at the end we can see when the last time was that Sam Rush updated these metrics all right so now that we understand what all of these metrics mean let’s go ahead and find some

Keyword opportunities now the first thing I would do is set some filters because uh right now we have a lot of keywords that are very hard to rank for we can see that here under KD like I said before for for a new website with low Authority it’s going to be almost

Impossible to rank for these keywords so what I would do is just go to the filters up here and then under KD I would start with the very easy keywords so from 0 to 14% for the KD just click here and then it will filter out

Everything that is not very easy so now let’s go through these keywords the first one is why is auto blogging AI the best AI writing tool this is kind of weird keyword because it’s just focused on autoblogging AI this looks like a campaign they have done and you can also

See that here in the in the trend this traffic Spike here so I I would say it doesn’t make sense to to Target this keyword because one there’s the spike and now there’s probably very little traffic if anything at all and also it doesn’t make sense based on the intent

Because unless you own the website autoblogging AI so I would not put this on my list then we have kiwi AI tool here we can see in the trend that this was very popular for a time and then now the trend kind of died down so I would

Probably also not Target this keyword so let’s move on to the next one we have Ox solo AI video generator tool also the spike so I’m just trying to avoid anything that has like this Spike and now it’s probably dead so let’s move on to maybe this one AI remove close tool

So this definitely looks interesting okay because an AI remove close tool is probably something that is pretty new and we can also see that here the demand for that keyword has just increased in the last few months and if this actually does work then it’s probably something

That people will continue to look for also in the future so if you would have like a website that actually offers this kind of tool or a website or a Blog that talks about different AI tools then it might make sense to actually Target this keyword and like let’s say make a list

Of different AI remove close tools um and and be early here in the trend for for this keyword so I would definitely put this on my list um so what I would do is just click on the plus icon here and then we’re going to create a new

List and I’m just going to name this AI tools and then click here and now this keyword is on the AI tools list then the next one is AI illusion tool this also could be interesting we have a KD of one so it should be absolutely no problem to

Rank this very high on Google we have a pretty uh consistent traffic volume and we have a traffic volume of 110 average searches per month so it’s probably going to be difficult for you to decide on what traffic volume is going to be worth it for you to Target the keyword

This really depends on a few factors first if you have a new website then you probably have to go for low volume keywords like low volume long-term keywords because the other ones are just going to be too difficult for you to Target and you want to build up some

Traffic just using just going for uh low competition keywords to build up your Authority and then slowly over time you can also go for keywords that have higher volume and that have also higher keyword difficulty and it also depends on your industry so for some Industries

Each customer or each client is going to be worth a lot so even if you just get let’s say 50 clicks on your website per day but then one of these uh clicks converts into a customer you maybe already make like a th000 or $2,000 from that customer so it’s already going to

Be worth it for you to still Target low volume keywords so as long as as you do get some clicks and you think it’s worth it for you in terms of How likely this viewer or this visitor will be to convert into a customer then it definitely makes sense to uh to Target

That keyword if the intent is there if the intent will most likely lead to a conversion so I would just also put this one on my list so we just want to continue to go through these keywords and add all the ones that we think it

Might be worth ranking for at some point you probably want to stop because the volume is just getting uh getting lower here the lower we go because it’s sorted by traffic volume and if you have a hard time finding keywords that have a decent volume in the very easy keyword

Difficulty category then you can just change this from very easy to easy and then just go up to find keywords with a higher traffic volume and something you can do to find even more different types of keywords is to change up the seed keyword here at the top so something I

Would do is just go to Google and then type in the general category or my first seat keyword then scroll down and look for related searches right here so here you can see Google gives us uh different types of things people are typing into the search bar that is related to our

Topic so for example AI tools for writing or AI tools for students let’s maybe for example use this one so let’s go back here then type in AI tools for students and then click on search and this will give us a completely new list then we can also uh clear this filter

Here so we can see the entire list that is specific for AI tools for students so this was the first of two keyword research methods I’m going to show you so in the first one we just used the keyword magic tool and now in the second one we’re going to use our competitors

To find keyword opportunities and we’re going to use the keyword Gap tool under the competitive research uh tab so let’s click on keyword Gap and then here we want to type in our own websites domain so as an example I’m just going to use the Sam Rush website so Sam rush.com and

Then we want to add some competitors so here Sam Rush already gives us some options for our competitors so I can just choose them here based on this list if you want to get a larger list of competitors for your specific website what you can do is go to the organic

Research tab open this up in a new tab and then you just want to type in your here so again I’m just going to typee in Sam Rush click on search and then we just want to go to competitors right here and here when we scroll down we can

Find a list of our top competitors and that’s based on the amount of similar keywords that both our website and the competitor websites are ranking for so let’s go back to the keyword Gap tool and then just enter some competitors from the list that samros provides us with so HS

Uh let’s maybe add this one as well and then also this one and then click on compare and then here we want to scroll down to the keyword list and now this is going to show us keywords that us and our competitors are both ranking for so

For example Google search console Wii or in this case semrush is ranked number five for this term and then similar web ranked number 79 19 8 and 32 so what we want to do is find keyword that all of our competitors are ranking for but we

Are not ranking for and we can simply filter those keywords by clicking on missing the missing filter here and now we can see for example Amazon affiliate program uh all of our competitors are ranked for this keyword and this actually has a high volume but we aren’t

Even ranked so it might be a good idea for us to Target this keyword because all of our competitors are ranking for it which make which makes the chances of us ranking for it a lot higher as well but obviously we want to make sure that these keywords make sense in terms of

Our SEO strategy so maybe something that would make more sense is something like how to find keywords on a website and then here again you can see for example HRS is rank number two but we are we don’t have any ranks so so Sam Rush probably doesn’t have even any content

Around this keyword and because this phrase is actually quite relevant for an SEO tool like semrush I would say it definitely makes sense to think about creating content around this keyword so we can also rank just like our competitors and potentially get some more traffic and also new customers now

We’re going to take a quick break to thank our sponsor which is the Subscribe button so for a limited time you can now subscribe for free to my channel so make sure you take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity and click on the Subscribe button below this video all

Right so now that we have a few keywords that we might want to Target it’s time to do some further research and find out how to optimize our content so we have the highest chance of ranking for those keywords so first let’s go to our keyword list by heading over to the keyword

Manager then let’s go to the AI tools keyword list and here we find all of the keywords that we have added to this list so as an example I’m just going to use this one here AI tools for real estate agents so to do some further investigations let’s click on this

Keyword and this will open up the keyword overview for this keyword we have just clicked on and then here at the top we can see the same metrics that we have already seen in the keyword research process so we have the US traffic volume the global volume the

Keyword difficulty the trend and also the other metrics right here but what we want to do is we want to scroll down and go to serup analysis so this basically shows you what Google actually shows when people people type in that keyword and here you can see the top 10 pages

That are visible on Google when people search this term so what we want to look at here is what kind of websites are actually ranking for this keyword currently and then also at these metrics here at the right side so here we have the page or the the page Authority score

This just means on how authoritative the URL or the website is which is currently ranking so the higher the score the the more Authority this site has this is based on the amount of links going to this site the amount of traffic this site gets and the amount of organic

Search results this site has So currently the top website ranking for this term has an authority score of 16 which isn’t that high then we also have um websites have a Authority score of even zero so this definitely tells us that we have a chance of ranking for

This term even though even if we have a new website that we just started then we we also want to look at referring domains this means how many different websites are linking to this specific page that is ranking so the the top page currently has two um or has four

Backlinks from two different domains linking to this to this page and then we can also see the second one has 22 different domains linking to the page and then we we have these ones which have zero backlinks linking to the page so again we can see that even if we

Don’t have a lot of backlinks we can still rank on the first page so this gives us a good overview of the top ranking results but we want to take a closer look at these search results and see if you can find some patterns of what’s actually ranking for this term on

Google so let’s open up a new incognito browser window and then type in the Target keyword and then here let’s see if we can find some patterns so at the top we have 11 must have real estate AI tools every realtor needs then we have ai tool or AI for real estate agents

Nine tools to keep up with the blah blah blah then we have nine powerful AI tools so the first thing that I notice here is that usually we have a list so we have 11 tools we have nine tools we have nine tools we have eight

538 so what seems to work here for this keyword is just giving a list of the best AI tools that’s already very valuable information because that’s this tells me that usually people click on these uh list posts then next next we also want to click on each of these

Pages that are at the top and just see how they are structured how they structure their content so this looks like a just a simple blog post where they just list all of the different tools with some images and some further information then on the second page it’s

Kind of the same we have just a list of all the different tools so again this gives me a good idea about how to structure my content to have a high chance of of ranking for this term as well and now I’m going to show you another semrush tool that will help you

Optimizing your content for your Target keyword so let’s go back to our tools and then under on page and Tech SEO let’s click on SEO content template then here let’s enter our Target keyword and click on create content template and then here Sam Rush gives you a few more recommendations when it

Comes to creating the content for this keyword based on the top results that are currently ranking so I would look at the key recommendations here so first we have the semantically related words these are just keywords that you might want to include in your content then we

Have backlinks we’re going to talk more about backlinks later in the video but these are just similar websites that you might want to reach out to and get backlinks from pointing to your content then we have readability this gives you an average readability score for the top

10 search results this just means means on how hard it is to read the text on average we have a score of 50 here and when we go to the uh table of what this means we can see 50 to 60 means it’s fairly difficult to read or even college

Level difficult to read so this just gives you an idea on how on what is currently working for the top ranking results and usually you want to keep about in the same range and later I’m going to also show you how to check your content on what your readability score

Is so you can adjust accordingly and then lastly we have the text length this is actually one of the most important things you want to consider when creating content for the keyword is that you hit about this amount of words you don’t want to go too much above or too

Much below because this is what’s currently working the best so we want to make sure to have a a let’s say blog post that has around 1,400 words this would be optimal great so now we have some guidelines when it comes to creating content for our Target keywords

Now I want to show you the semrush writing assistant which is going to help you to stay in those guidelines when actually creating the content so on the left hand side let’s come to content marketing and then let’s click on the SEO writing assistant and then we already have the

Keyword here because we have created an SEO template for this keyword so let’s click on Quick Check and then here we can just paste in our content to see what recommendations we get from Sam Rush uh for us to optimize our content for our Target keyword so just as an

Example I’m going to go to one of these results that came up for my keyword and I’m just going to paste the content that they have to see if we get some recommendations here for their page so let’s just go back here and then paste

That in and then we can see here on the right side that they’re doing a pretty good job so they have a 7.8 out of 10 the SEO is pretty good readability is pretty good tone of voice is good but the originality could definitely be improved now what I would do here is

Then start and just click on each of these categories so let’s start with readability and then just go through the list down here so here first of all we have the readability of 43.9 and it should be a 50 or around 50 so it’s actually pretty good it’s pretty

Close to 50 then this should definitely be improved moved so we want to have uh a a bit more content here because the target would be uh 1,431 words and we only have 1,078 so I would definitely make this content a bit longer to hit this word

Count right here then we can scroll down title issues we have no issues here then um we should split long paragraphs write hard to rewrite hard to read sentences and so on so again just uh go through the list and make sure you fixed the these issues the same thing with SEO

Just click on SEO and then look at all of these things that uh that Sam Rush recommends and fix these issues now I’m going to show you how to set up position tracking for your Target keywords so you can always stay updated on what your current ranking is in the Google search

Results so to do that we’re going to come over here under keyword research and go to position tracking then here just type in your website’s URL so I’m just going to use the website of Sam rush and then click on setup tracking then under location I’m going

To set it to the United States and click on continue to keywords and then here we can now enter the keywords that we want to track or we can also import them from a file so just as an example I’m going to enter a few keywords and then click on ADD keywords

To campaign then they will be shown down here and now if you leave this option ticked then you will get a weekly email updating you about your current ranking for these keywords so let’s click on start tracking and now the ranking for the keywords that we have added will be

Tracked for our website and we can see all kinds of data here so under overview you can see the average visibility for all of our keywords the average position uh for the keyword so um what we want to look at is basically just at the position and also if something has

Changed so if we lose a position then we probably want to look at why that is maybe we need to send some more links to that page or we need to optimize the content in a certain way so that’s just something you need to keep track of because um that’s eventually where your

Traffic is coming from now I want to show you how to find the keywords that your website is already ranking for but you’re not at the first position on Google yet which means you could potentially get a lot more traffic if you were to optimize your pages and rank

Higher or even rank on the first position of Google because let’s take a quick look at this study that backlinko docomo and third until the 10th position is getting compared to the other positions so the first position on Google usually gets 27.6% of the traffic which is almost

Double what the second position gets and it’s 10 times as much as the ninth position on Google so let’s say we are currently sitting at position five for our Target keyword but if you were to optimize our page and maybe also send some more backlinks to this page then we

Could potentially end up in position one and get over four times the traffic that we have gotten before so improving your pages that are currently sitting at position two to about 15 for a specific keyword that is relevant to to you is one of the best ways how to spend your

Time and resources in order for you to get more traffic to your website so now I’m going to show you how to use Sam rush to find the keywords where you are currently sitting at position 2 to 15 and where it might be worth it to optimize the pages that are ranked at

This position so let’s head back over to semrush and then let’s go to organic research then here type in your website I’m going to use another one this time I’m just going to use mailer light which is an email marketing platform let’s click on search from here let’s go to

Positions and then we can see the keywords that currently are getting us the most traffic now we can still see the curus where we are currently at position one so we want to filter those out by going to positions and then we’re going to do a custom range from position

Number two to position number 15 let’s click on apply and this gives us a list of all of the keywords where we are currently at position two to 15 and what I would do also is start with the easy keywords first so let’s go to keyword difficulty here and then

Let’s look at the very easy ones first and here for example we can see for the keyword November newsletter this gets about 390 searches per month and we are currently at position three we can also look at the page that is ranking for that keyword this is how it looks like

So Mele light actually has a blog post about the uh 93 special events to inspire your November newsletter so this is relevant to uh this keyword so it might be worth it to look at this page and see if we can optimize something or see if we can send some more backlinks

So we can get from number three to number one and potentially get a lot more traffic but now how do we know what what we need to optimize on our page to potentially boost our rankings here is where I would use the semrush on page

SEO Checker so let’s open this up in a new tab then here we have to enter our domain so in this case this would be mailer light.com then United States is fine and then here we want to go to manually and then enter the page we’re trying to optimize so let’s come back

Here and let’s say we want to increase our ranking for this keyword travel landing page currently we are sitting at position six and this is the page that we are ranking for this keyword so let’s copy the keyword and then go back to the on page SEO Checker paste in the keyword

Here and then we also want to paste the page we want to optimize so that’s this one so let’s copy that as well and then paste that in here then click on ADD page and collect ideas then once it’s done loading let’s click on optimization

Ideas and then we want to filter by the page we want to optimize so we can either enter the keyword here or the URL I’m going to just paste in the URL here and then we can see here’s the URL this is our Target keyword and semrush gives

Us four ideas of what we could optimize so let’s click on four ideas and then we get to the suggestions so Mite actually does a pretty good job optimizing all their Pages for SEO so there aren’t too many suggestions but one thing that we could do uh under content is focus more

On creating a more informative content so the competitors use long form content on their web pages which are ranking higher so this might be something to think about then uh the content should be a bit more readable and then when we scroll down here we could add a few more

Related keywords like landing page template or social proof and then we can also try and get some more backlinks from these sites here you can also click on detailed analysis to see some more information about how many times the competitors who are ranking higher are using specific keywords so you can

Really get uh into the details here for these suggestions but it’s definitely going to give you a good guideline of what you can optimize in order for you to boost your ranking now let’s also look at a few backlink and Link building tools of semrush you probably know that having high quality

Backlinks pointing to your website is very important in terms of increasing your Authority in a specific industry and therefore also being able to rank higher for more competitive keywords so the first thing I would do is go to the backlink Gap tool and here we can compare our backlink profile file with other

Competitor websites to see if we need to spend some more time and resources on getting backlinks and also find some websites we could potentially get backlinks from so first you want to enter your domain I’m just going to um use the mailer light website again and then here we want to add some

Competitors so I’m just going to use some that um Sam Rush is offering me here so let’s lose this this and maybe get response then let’s click on fight prospects then here let’s first click on this drop- down arrow for the charts which will give us a nice overview of

How well we are doing compared to the competition so first of all for the authority score you can see that most of the competitors are round about in the same range everybody’s about 50 Authority score with the exception of subscrib page.com they’re quite a bit

Lower so they have a lot of work to do in terms of increasing their Authority score and getting more backlinks and under referring domains we can see how much M light has been investing in SEO and backlinks over the last 12 months you can just see how many more backlinks

They have compared to the competition so here we can already see that melee light is doing an incredible job but what’s really interesting is actually the prospects 4 section here this shows us what websites our competitors have backlinks from but we don’t so for example forbes.com is is a a very

Authorative website it has a score of 100 which is insanely high it’s the highest one you can have and all of our competitors have backlinks from forbes.com but Mite has zero backlinks so this would definitely be a good opportunity to get in contact with forbs and maybe talk to them about exchanging

Backlinks or what we would have to do to get a backlink from this page and then we have another tool to help you finding good websites to to get links from which is this link building tool so let’s click on this then here let’s enter our domain in

This case I’m going to again use Ma light.com then just continue here and here we have some of the main competitors let’s click on start link building and here once it’s done analyzing we can click on prospects and then look at all of the potential prospects to get backlinks

From here we can also sort by prospects based on keywords or also based on competitors so once you find or decide on who you want to contact you can just click on to in progress and then it will be kind of moved along in the process

And you can click on in progress here and this shows you your list of all of the websites you want to contact you can even contact them in the semrush tool so when we click on contact here you can connect your email and then do all the communication through Sam Rush which

Will probably make it a lot easier for you to keep track of your link building activities now I’m going to show you how to do a site audit on your website which will show you all of the technical issues that your website might have and that might be holding you back when it

Comes to getting more traffic so let’s come over here to the left side and click on side audit in the on page and Tech SEO section and then for our example I’m just going to enter a random food blog that I found called budgetbytes.com so let’s click on start
