You’ve exported your CSV file, and now it’s time to go to work. If you don’t select “Custom” and limit the rows, and just let it default to the “First 1,000,” when you select “Include SERPs” you just ate up ~100,000 of your monthly export credits – which would mean in this case instead of me using just ~15,000 credits (150 rows x 100 results per SERP), I just lit ~85,000 credits on fire. This is also really important, mostly for your credit balance (and bank account), but when you go to export your results make sure you select Custom under “Number of rows” (and set the number of rows that meet your click threshold, so for me in this case it’s 150) – and then check the box for “Include SERPs.” What this also means is that of the 38,458 keywords that Ahrefs has in their keyword index that include the word “chatbot” less than 150 of those terms get more than 100 clicks/month. What you’re doing now is reviewing the Click volume across all the terms with the most clicks, to understand how big of an export pool you’re going to need.Īhrefs shows 50 results per page, and the “Quick export” feature allows you to export the first 1,000 rows – so you need to determine if you need more than the first 1,00 rows of term data.įor the purposes of this post, I’m not interested in any keywords with less than 100 clicks/month, so by page 3 of results I’m out of the terms I want to grab data on (for now). Here’s an example of terms that actually result in more clicks than searches (meaning that the searchers are bouncing back to the search results and clicking more than one result): Instead of the more traditional approach of sorting your term population by search volume (“Volume”), at time when nearly 50% of all searches do not result in a click, instead sort sort descending by Clicks:Īs you scroll down through your list, pay attention to the large disparities between Volume and Clicks it’s kind of incredible. This is a very important, but nuanced step. Step TwoĬlick the “View all” link under the far left column titled “Having same terms” This is important because at this stage we want to get the largest volume term to cover as much of the competitive landscape as possible. In this case, the term is already the parent topic – if it’s not, re-run your search using the parent topic. Step Oneĭrop that bad boy into Ahrefs Keyword explorer: To dive in you’ll need to start by selecting a “seed” keyword, ideally this is a really high-level 1 or 2 word term that represents the vertical market you’re looking to target at 50,000 feet.Įxamples of seed terms across a few different verticals are:Īgain, for the purpose of demonstrating this particular process for keyword research, I’m going to use chatbot. If you’re specifically looking to optimize bottom-of-funnel pages, consider reading about keyword research for conversions (it focuses a lot more on identifying purchasing intent at later stages in the customer journey. Instead, this is a simple ( modern) process for getting moving, and demonstrates the thought process and approach to identify opportunities that can kick start your keyword strategy.

This process is not to conduct comprehensive keyword research, for that I’d encourage you to read about how to calculate a total addressable market. I’ve decided to use a very competitive head term keyword chatbot.


To make this process as tangible as possible, I’m going to actually run through it for real.
