A holiday is only really memorable when you have discovered the most beautiful things in the place or country. It's the same with keywords. What is a first-class page if it is not seen by anyone due to a lack of keyword optimisation? Your summerSEO journey continues with keyword selection and content strategy.
This is exactly the question you should continuously ask yourself when selecting keywords and creating content. After all, your website should satisfy a need of its visitors, provide a solution to certain questions or generally be found for relevant search queries - for example with a suitable product or service. In the context of keyword selection and optimisation, sighteeing is therefore to focus on what will bring you a lot of traffic with strong rankings - after all, it is not without reason that the sights of a city attract the most visitors.
There are many different ways to find out suitable keywords. SEO tools are one of them, but talking to customers, business partners, your own team or customer service can also help. It is not at all uncommon for webmasters to develop a kind of "tunnel vision" and select keywords in the way they think is right - even though the users are actually looking for something completely different. Extensive expertise in the respective subject area or industry can therefore even be a hindrance, because users sometimes do not have this expertise and therefore search for completely different terms or phrases on Google and Co.
But don't forget the following step: Check the search volume of the keyword! And the next step after that: ask yourself how competitive the respective keyword is. Experience shows that keywords with a very high search volume also have a very high competition density. That is logical, because there is a lot to gain in terms of traffic. Sometimes, however, it can make sense to focus on niche keywords with lower volume instead, where it is easier to get strong rankings. A mix of both options is of course equally possible. You will inevitably have to do some trial and error, testing and observing.
Our tip is to focus on your niche keywords.

If you need some help in choosing suitable topics, you can take a look at the tool "Answer the Public". It's also a good idea to take a look at your competitors who are ranking well. Once you've made your selection, your summer SEO journey will lead you to Info-Mindmaps and Pillar Pages.
Pillar Pages revolve around a specific topic and capture additional relevant further information, which is then called a "cluster" - simultaneously connecting to the main page via internal links, which makes navigation easier and strengthens the page's link framework. You should make sure that the user finds his destination with as few clicks as possible.
An info-mindmap can help you with this on your SummerSEO. Here, important discussion points are recorded in the middle and connected with lines. This makes your website more structured, organised and gives it a natural flow - both technically and in terms of content.
