2) Analyzing Monthly Trends: Using SV Data for Content Prioritization

@yigitkonur
Being prepared for trend changes are one of the key success metrics of SEO.

@yigitkonur
Generally, Google does not have a tendency to show specific data. Just aggregated ones.

@yigitkonur
SEOmonitor is not only sharing “keyword-level” search volumes, but also 5 yrs of search volume
graphs to help consultants better when it comes to trend analyis.

@yigitkonur
To make it efficient, you need to create conditional formatting of each row - not whole table.

@yigitkonur
By sorting with color, I can easily find each keyword’s “top trend month” and sort by them.

@yigitkonur
If I prepare my SEO strategy one month in advance, I can find all top keywords for next month.

@yigitkonur
Ahrefs does same thing with Clickstream data for more keywords but aggregated data might not help you.

@yigitkonur
What we will do?
• Scraping monthly Search Volume
trend of all keywords I’m targeting for.
• Using “conditional formatting” feature
of Excel for better visualization.
• Sorting keywords by using their own
seasonal trends.
• Great data to use for planning on
better SEO strategy.
• Being prepared for seasonal trends &
changes before they happen.
• Creating pages earlier than
competitors & prioritizing link earning
on specific pages.
Tools: Google Adwords, SEOmonitor, Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets

@yigitkonur
3) Discover New Keywords: Using +Broad or “Phrase” as a Keyword Tool

@yigitkonur
You can filter your “match types” to run “Search Terms Report” for better keyword discovery.

@yigitkonur
By adding “how” / “what” like question words as (close variant), you can discover more long tail keywords.

@yigitkonur
You can create more value on this data by adding SEO metrics as well.
- Missing part of this data:
- Position on SERP
- URL on SERP
- Monthly Search Volume
- Opportunity of Keyword
- SERP Features (image/video/featured snippet)
- How you can enrich this data:
- Adding all potential keywords to SEOmonitor.
- Export all possible columns on the software.
- Then merge with Adwords data by using
VLOOKUP on Excel or JOIN for SQL.

@yigitkonur
Google’s DSA is another great opportunity to discover new keywords for PPC & SEO purposes.

@yigitkonur
What we will do?
• Filtering for “broad” and “phrase”
related keywords in Adwords.
• They will trigger lots of different
keywords might have potentials.
• We can define a long-tail keyword
strategy by using them.
• Most fresh keyword data on the
internet for content creation.
• It is better than any keyword tool,
because they don’t get impacted by
any viral effects.
• Thanks to real-time data, it might
create new opportunities for you.
Tools: Google Adwords + DSA, SEOmonitor, Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets

4) Increase Quality Score: Using SEO Relevancy as a Guide for PPC

@yigitkonur
Optmyzr has great features for understanding Quality Score in deep-dive.

@yigitkonur
What is my most relevant page with the keyword “SimilarWeb”?

@yigitkonur
To increase “landing page experience” and “ad relevance” - I’ve to change landing page URLs.

@yigitkonur
What we will do?
• Finding keywords that have low quality
scores to optimize.
• We will assume that Google’s quality
determination algorithms are similar
for booth QS and SERP relevancy.
• Then we will find most relevant pages
and modify our PPC landing pages.
• Serious increase on quality scores of
keywords.
• Better landing page experience and
relevancy for your potential clients.
• Increasing QS of Campaigns and
Accounts for overall optimization.
Tools: Google Adwords, SEOmonitor, Optmyzr, Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets

@yigitkonur
5) Integrate SC with Adwords: Getting Help from Google to Merge Data

@yigitkonur
Search Console integration is hidden behind of many tabs. You can follow this steps to verify your site.

@yigitkonur

both SEO & PPC results for some
highly converting keywords.
