SEO Keyword Research Template

SEO is the number one marketing channel to bring in new people who have never heard of your brand before. Through search, you can reach thousands of people looking for your organization’s content, resources, services, and more. And all things SEO starts with keyword research.

Keyword research is the process of identifying what you want your brand to be known for through search queries, and matching it with search data. For example, our client Kai XR — an ed-tech company that creates VR virtual field trips — did a lot of research around how people search for “virtual field trips”. By doing this research, we identified the low hanging fruit to go after, and we started ranking #1 for terms like “benefits of virtual field trips” and “are VR headsets safe” within months.

There are a lot of processes to make SEO a strategy to help any organization win and reach more people through Google. That’s why at Slam, every website project we do starts with keyword research. We’re a digital marketing agency hyper-focused on SEO, Webflow design & development, content writing & strategy, and brand identity. We’ve had big wins in SEO across a wide array of industries, including VC, education, fintech, the travel visa system, and more.

Features of the keyword research template

We’ve added features to our Keyword Research Template to make it easy to use for everyone, whether you’re new to SEO or have been doing it for years. Our template lives on Google Sheets, a free tool that marketing teams big and small are familiar with.

Inside the template, you’ll get access to several templates:

• Brainstorming and research space
• Research organization space

We’ve created a space for writers and marketers to brainstorm ideas for keyword research. It all starts with first identifying the topics you want to be known for, followed by listing out all of the variations that you can think of on how people might search for that term.

Next, we’ve created a template for you to organize the research. We’ve created a template that aligns with keyword clustering tools (like Keyword Insights AI) so that you can easily move data from your export to your research sheet.

To get started easily, our template also includes step by step instructions on how to do keyword research.
