What is the Number of Keywords I Can Use for SEO?

The decision on the number of keywords to be used for SEO all boils down to the number of pages you have on your site; you can start with 4-9 keywords, and then consider adding more to it as time goes on.

Optimizing Keywords

Search for those key phrases your successful competitors are ranking for, and use them in a non-plagiarized manner to produce better content. You can also use the following steps in finding keywords for your SEO.

  • Brainstorm keywords on those topics people are currently searching for on Google
  • Write out the list of relevant topics in your business
  • Perform keyword research by using Jaaxy (Highly Recommended)
  • Find other keywords by using Google autosuggest
  • Find related search terms by looking at other topics that appear at the bottom of the page
  • Use different tools such as UberSuggest, Google keyword planner to trim down your keywords
  • Ensure you have a mix of long and short-tailed keywords on your SEO

Conclusion

Building a successful search strategy requires targeting the relevant types of keywords. If you notice a good keyword opportunity, you should ensure you use it in a proper manner to drive leads and traffic to your brand.

Hi Israel,
I understand the urgency and process of finding good keywords.
What I don't understand is how and where to place them. Here you are talking about 4-9 and even more keywords, but the new AIO SEO allows you to place only one keyword phrase (unless you have a Pro version). Do you know how can I place more than one keyword?
Thanks, Jane

Helpful training Israel. Thanks for pointing out that bounce rate and average time spent on a page are equally important.

We are Blessed.

Oh yes, Mark! Without improving bounce rate, there's no way you can gain organic traffic to your site. This means a lot to Google. Thanks for contributing powerfully!
