Keyword Research: Your Daily 15-Minute Practice
Most marketers do keyword research once, build a list, then ignore it. The best marketers treat it as a living process — adding new keyword opportunities every day as their market evolves.
Daily Keyword Research Workflow
- Start with a seed keyword — one topic relevant to your business today
- Google autocomplete — type your seed keyword and note all autocomplete suggestions
- "People Also Ask" — gold mine of question-based keywords with search intent
- "Related searches" at the bottom of Google results — often overlooked, always valuable
- Log to your keyword spreadsheet — columns: keyword, estimated volume, intent (info/commercial/transactional), content type, assigned to URL

- Commercial ("best coffee shops in Saigon") → create comparison / list content
- Transactional ("buy specialty coffee online") → optimize product / service pages
The compound effect: 15 minutes of keyword research daily = 5,000+ keywords catalogued per year. This library becomes your entire content strategy, SEO roadmap, and ad targeting foundation.
