Let’s say you’re about to do keyword research for a website.

But there’s a problem… you don’t know much about the niche.

Don’t just jump into SEMrush (my favorite marketing tool) or Ahrefs (great for niche research in blogging).

Follow these steps instead:

1️⃣ Start with Google – Get some basic knowledge about your niche. Read what’s already out there.
2️⃣ Ask GPT – Explain what you’re looking for and get primary keyword suggestions.
3️⃣ Head to SEMrush – Open the keyword overview tool.
4️⃣ Enter Your Primary Keyword – Run the campaign.
5️⃣ Analyze the Metrics – If the keyword meets your criteria, keep it.
6️⃣ Scroll Down – On the right side, find the “Top 10 URLs” in SERP analysis section.
7️⃣ Check the Top 10 Sites – These are ranking for your keyword.
8️⃣ Analyze Each One – Pick out their best-performing keywords.
9️⃣ Explore Keyword Ideas – Find and select the most relevant ones.
🔟 Save Everything – Store your final keyword list in Google Sheets.

Boom! Now you’ve got top-ranking, niche-relevant keywords ready to go.

This is my personal keyword research method with SEMrush and GPT. Hope it helps in your SEO journey!
