SEO Trust Center
Keyword Research Methodology
Intent, topical authority, and semantic depth \u2014 not density.
Search intent
Every target query is classified by intent (informational, navigational, transactional, commercial) before content is planned.
Topical authority
We map clusters of related queries to a coherent body of work rather than chasing isolated head terms.
Semantic relationships
We design content around entities, sub-topics, and questions a knowledgeable expert would naturally cover.
User needs
Final scope is shaped by what users actually need to accomplish — not by keyword volume alone.
What we do not recommend
Keyword density targets, exact-match repetition, and tactics that prioritize machine pattern-matching over readability.
