Importing keywords is the foundation of content planning and rank monitoring. GoSEO will organize topic clusters based on keywords, target URLs, search intent, and business priority to help you decide which keywords to write first and which existing pages need updating.

Detailed Steps

Clean your keyword list before importing to ensure each keyword has a clear target page or business priority. After importing, check the grouping results to avoid mixing brand keywords, competitor keywords, and informational/content keywords.

Post-Import Checks

After the import is complete, GoSEO will assign keywords into topic clusters. Please check whether synonyms have been incorrectly split, whether brand keywords have been grouped separately, and whether each keyword has the correct target URL.
