The toolkit / Semrush

Search demand.
Before another page.

A practical starting point for Semrush, one of Candi’s favorite tools.

Start with the buyer’s question.

Write down the service, problem, or decision your buyer is trying to understand. Use that as a starting point in Keyword Magic Tool to explore related queries. Keep the search intent beside the keyword: an informational question and a buying decision need different pages.

Turn the list into a decision.

Group useful queries around a clear topic. Compare them with the pages you already have. Decide whether an existing page needs a better answer or a distinct buyer question deserves its own place. Keep a short list of priorities rather than treating every keyword as a content assignment.

What the tool cannot decide.

A keyword list does not tell you which offer is strongest, whether your proof is credible, or whether the inquiry process works. Use research to inform judgment. Do not confuse a large volume estimate with a guarantee of traffic or revenue.
