Google rewards topical depth — we build the clusters that prove it. ### Localized Keyword Research City, region, and country-specific keyword sets with local volume data. Essential for businesses targeting specific geographic markets or running multi-location SEO. ### B2B Keyword Research Long-tail, high-intent keywords for complex sales cycles. Industry jargon, comparison queries, and decision-stage terms that attract qualified leads, not casual browsers. ### Keyword Research for Content Marketing Topic clusters, question-based keywords, and editorial calendar planning. Every keyword maps to a content piece, a funnel stage, and a business outcome. ### International Keyword Research Multi-language, multi-market research with native-speaker validation. Search behavior differs across countries — we research each market individually, not through translation. ## Our Keyword Research Process in 5 Steps A structured methodology that turns raw search data into a prioritized roadmap your SEO and content teams can execute immediately. ### 1. Business & Audience (discovery) We learn your products, services, customer personas, and competitive landscape before touching any keyword tool. ### 2. Data Collection (research) Seed expansion, competitor gap analysis, SERP review, and search volume pulled across Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Google Keyword Planner. ### 3. Intent & Clustering (analyze) Every keyword tagged by intent (informational, commercial, transactional) and grouped into semantic clusters for content mapping. ### 4. Pages & Priorities (map) Keywords mapped to existing or planned URLs. Content gaps identified, cannibalization flagged, and priorities ranked by impact. ### 5. Roadmap & Brief (deliver) Final deliverable: keyword map, content roadmap, competition analysis, and page-level briefs your writers can execute. ## What Our Keyword Research Agency Delivered Keyword research that led directly to rankings, traffic, and revenue — not just a spreadsheet. ### [Lone Star Neurology](https://mettevo.com/projects/lone-star-neurology) — Healthcare - **300+** Keywords ranked - **+491%** Organic traffic Niche keyword research across 200+ neurological conditions.

We deliver a strategy you can act on — with intent mapping, content briefs, and competitive context. ### Intent, Not Just Volume Every keyword is tagged by search intent. A 50-volume transactional keyword can be worth more than a 5,000-volume informational one. We prioritize accordingly. ### Competitor Gap Focus We reverse-engineer what your competitors rank for and identify keywords they're winning that you're not — then build a plan to close those gaps. ### Actionable Deliverables You get keyword maps, content briefs, and editorial calendars — not a raw export. Your writers and SEO team can execute immediately. ### Industry Expertise Healthcare, legal, SaaS, fintech, B2B manufacturing — we understand the terminology and search behavior in each vertical.

A standard keyword research project takes 1–2 weeks. Larger projects covering multiple verticals, languages, or dozens of competitor domains may take 2–4 weeks. We deliver a complete keyword map with content briefs, not just a list. ### What's the difference between niche and semantic keyword research? Niche keyword research focuses on finding terms specific to your industry vertical. Semantic keyword research expands around those terms with related phrases, synonyms, and entity variations that help Google understand your topical authority. We do both as standard. ### Do you handle international and localized research? Yes. Our international keyword research covers multi-language, multi-market analysis with native-speaker validation. Localized keyword research targets specific cities, regions, or countries with geo-specific volume data. ### How much does keyword research cost? One-time keyword research projects start at $1,500. Ongoing research as part of an SEO retainer is included in plans starting at $2,000/month. Complex multi-market or multi-vertical projects are scoped individually after a discovery call. ### What deliverables will I receive? A prioritized keyword map with volume, difficulty, and intent tags. Semantic clusters grouped by topic. Content briefs for priority pages. Competitor gap analysis. And an editorial calendar showing which pieces to publish first for maximum impact. ## Ready to Find the Keywords That Drive Revenue? Tell us about your niche and goals.
