How Tools Like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, and Ahrefs Work

Noethera Studio uses a variety of keyword research tools to identify the most effective keywords for SEO. Each tool offers unique features that help us analyze search volume, keyword difficulty, and trends over time.

• Google Keyword Planner: Originally designed for Google Ads, Keyword Planner is an essential tool for discovering keywords that people are actively searching for on Google. It helps us find keyword suggestions based on specific topics or phrases, as well as data on monthly search volumes and competition levels. This tool is especially useful for identifying keywords that can be targeted in both organic and paid search campaigns.
• SEMrush: SEMrush is one of the most comprehensive SEO tools available, offering a wide range of features beyond just keyword research. Noethera uses SEMrush to analyze keyword difficulty, search volume, and competitive data. SEMrush provides insights into how competitors are ranking for certain keywords, which helps us refine our SEO strategy and target opportunities where the competition is lower.
• Ahrefs: Known for its powerful backlink analysis features, Ahrefs is also an excellent tool for keyword research. At Noethera, we use Ahrefs to track keyword performance, search for new keyword opportunities, and analyze ranking difficulty. The platform’s keyword difficulty score allows us to assess how hard it will be to rank for a specific keyword, helping us prioritize which terms to focus on.

These tools work together to give us a full picture of the keyword landscape, allowing us to make data-driven decisions about which keywords to target for better SEO performance.

Finding Relevant Keywords with High Search Volume and Low Difficulty

One of the biggest challenges in keyword research is finding the right balance between search volume and keyword difficulty. High search volume keywords often have more competition, making it harder to rank for them, while low competition keywords may not drive significant traffic.

At Noethera, we use our suite of keyword research tools to identify keywords that offer the best of both worlds: high search volume with low ranking difficulty. Here’s how we approach it:

• High-Search-Volume Keywords: These are the keywords that are most frequently searched by users. By targeting high-volume keywords, Noethera ensures that our content has the potential to reach a larger audience. Google Keyword Planner helps us identify these keywords and see how search volume fluctuates over time, which is useful for planning seasonal content.
• Low-Competition Keywords: While high-search-volume keywords are attractive, they’re often more competitive. That’s where tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs come in. They allow us to assess keyword difficulty, which measures how hard it will be to rank for a specific keyword based on the current competition. Noethera prioritizes keywords that strike a balance between high search volume and lower competition, giving our content a better chance of ranking higher on SERPs.
• Long-Tail Keywords: In addition to general high-volume keywords, Noethera also focuses on long-tail keywords—specific, multi-word phrases that often have lower search volume but higher conversion potential. These keywords are more targeted and can help us attract users who are further along in the buying process. SEMrush and Ahrefs make it easy to find these long-tail opportunities.

Using Keyword Research Tools to Improve Content Optimization

Once Noethera has identified the right keywords, the next step is to incorporate them into the content in a way that enhances SEO without compromising readability. Here’s how keyword research tools help us optimize content effectively:

• On-Page Optimization: Tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs help us place keywords strategically within the content. We ensure that primary keywords are included in the title tags, meta descriptions, headings, and throughout the body content. This approach not only helps search engines understand what the page is about but also ensures that users find the information they’re searching for.
• Content Creation and Planning: Keyword research tools also help Noethera generate content ideas based on trending keywords and topics. For example, if SEMrush shows that there’s a rising trend for “sustainable fashion in Indonesia,” we can create blog posts, articles, or guides that tap into this interest. This approach ensures that our content remains relevant to current search trends and user intent.
• Tracking and Refining Strategy: After publishing SEO-optimized content, Noethera continues to track keyword performance using tools like Ahrefs. We monitor how well our targeted keywords are performing, and if necessary, we refine our strategy based on real-time data. This ongoing process ensures that our SEO campaigns remain effective and that we adapt to changes in search engine algorithms or trends.
