Am I wasting time on keyword analyses?

In previous blog posts we have explained how to perform a keyword analysis, in case you missed it. Many online marketeers use a large portion of their time to gather & analyse keywords for their clients or organisation. While preferably that time could and should be spent on strategy and creativity. First, let's find out if you are wasting your time in the current methods you have for keyword analysis.

We have created a small checklist to find out how much time you are wasting currently. Answer the questions below for yourself and you will know.

1. Are you using (multiple) tools to find an extensive list of keywords, covering a certain topic?
2. Are you extracting or guessing which intention people have when using these keywords?
3. Are you comparing the ranking of different competitors for certain keywords?
4. Are you grouping or clustering your keywords by hand or with excel formula's?
5. Are co-workers double checking one of the actions mentioned above?

If you answered yes to 3 or more questions above, you are probably wasting your time on processes that can be done much faster. If you answered no to 3 or more questions, you are either forgetting important parts of a keyword analysis leading to more time investment or you have found ways to automate this process.

How can I speed up my keyword analysis?

There are many ways to speed up keyword analyses, however most lead to a decrease of quality. So what can you do to speed things up while keeping quality high or even improving your keyword analysis outcome. In our eyes there is only one option, becoming data-driven. Yes, we know many of you are already data-driven. Please read our blog about data-inspired vs. data-driven keyword analysis.

Create data-driven keyword analyses

The first part of your analysis will stay the same, you use your brain, expertise and tools to create an extensive list of keywords concerning your topic. This should be easy, do not filter out too much. Keep everything in you think has a link to your clients website or topic.
