Episode notes
Translate SEO Into Business Outcomes
- Speak the client's language by translating technical SEO into business outcomes like leads and revenue.
- Use keyword clustering as the first step to map opportunities and get client buy-in.
Begin Clustering With Site Crawl + Data
- Start clustering by crawling the site and pulling Search Console and GA4 data to understand existing visibility.
- Then expand with keyword tool data (e.g., SEMrush) to build a keyword universe by topic and volume.
Combine NLP Clusters With SERP Signals
- Combine NLP clustering with SERP analysis rather than relying on one method alone.
- Use SERP intent signals to recognise when the market favours a different experience (e.g., e-commerce results dominate transactional intent).
