I will do in-depth keyword research and search intent mapping for your niche
About this gig
I will do in-depth keyword research and search intent mapping for your niche, turning a messy guess-driven content plan into a prioritized, intent-tagged keyword roadmap you can act on immediately.
If you are publishing pages, blog posts, or product copy without knowing exactly what your audience types into Google — or why they type it — you are leaving traffic and conversions on the table. I dig into your niche, your competitors, and real search behavior to hand you a structured keyword set, each term mapped to the intent behind it (informational, commercial, transactional, or navigational) so you know precisely what to write and where it belongs in your funnel.
What you get
- A master keyword spreadsheet (Google Sheets + Excel/CSV export) listing every researched term with its core data points side by side.
- Search volume, keyword difficulty, and competition estimates for each keyword, pulled from established research tools so you can prioritize realistically.
- Search intent labels on every keyword — informational, commercial-investigation, transactional, or navigational — so you can match each term to the right page type.
- Intent clusters / topic groups: related keywords bundled together so one well-built page can rank for a whole family of queries instead of cannibalizing itself.
- Primary vs. secondary keyword tagging per cluster, telling you which term to target as the main keyword and which to weave in as supporting phrases.
- A column of long-tail and question-based keywords (the "how / what / best / vs / near me" style queries) that are easier to rank for and convert well.
- A competitor keyword snapshot: which terms 2–3 of your named competitors are visibly targeting, and gaps they are missing that you can claim.
- A priority / opportunity score for each cluster (a simple high / medium / low ranking based on volume, difficulty, and intent fit) so you know what to build first.
- A short summary document (1–2 pages) explaining the patterns I found, the quick wins, and recommended next content to publish.
Everything is delivered in plain, editable formats — no locked dashboards, no tool subscription required on your end.

If your project sits between two tiers or needs a larger keyword set, message me first and I'll outline a custom scope before you order.
How it works
- You brief me. You send your website (if you have one), your niche or main topic(s), target country/language, and 2–4 competitor URLs if you know them. The more context you give, the sharper the output.
- Discovery & seed expansion. I start from your seed topics and expand outward using keyword research tools, autocomplete data, related searches, and "people also ask" patterns to build a broad raw list.
- Data enrichment. I pull volume, difficulty, and competition metrics for the candidate keywords and strip out junk — irrelevant, off-language, or zero-value terms.
- Intent classification. I review each surviving keyword and tag the search intent behind it, because two keywords with identical volume can need completely different pages.
- Clustering & prioritization. I group keywords into topic clusters, assign primary/secondary roles, and score each cluster for opportunity so you get a build order, not just a list.
- Delivery & walkthrough. You receive the spreadsheet plus the summary. I include written notes explaining how to use it, and I'm available for follow-up questions within your revision window.
Typical turnaround is a few business days depending on tier and topic breadth; I confirm a delivery date with you before starting.
Why choose this
This is hands-on research done by a real person, not an exported tool dump. I read the SERPs, sanity-check the intent labels manually, and remove the noise that automated lists are full of. You get a roadmap that respects how Google actually ranks pages today — clustered by topic and intent rather than a flat alphabetical list of disconnected terms. The deliverable is yours to keep and edit forever, and every recommendation is tied to a concrete next action: which page to build, which keyword to target, and why.
Who it's for / use cases
- Bloggers and content creators planning an editorial calendar and wanting topics that can actually rank.
- Small businesses and local services that need to be found for the exact phrases their customers search.
- E-commerce stores mapping category and product pages to commercial and transactional queries.
- Agencies and marketers who need a clean, intent-tagged keyword foundation to hand to writers.
- SaaS and startups building a content engine and looking for low-competition entry points.
- Anyone relaunching or auditing a site that ranks for the wrong terms or none at all.
FAQ
Q: Which tools do you use for the data? I work with established, industry-standard keyword and SEO research tools to source volume, difficulty, and competition figures, combined with manual SERP review for intent. All metrics are estimates the tools provide — useful for prioritization, not guarantees.
Q: Do you guarantee first-page rankings? No, and I'd be wary of anyone who does. Keyword research is the foundation that tells you what to target and why; rankings also depend on your content quality, site authority, and on-page execution. I give you the map — you (or your writer) still drive.
Q: What do you need from me to start? Your niche or main topic(s), target country and language, and ideally your site URL plus a few competitor URLs. If you only have a rough idea, that's fine — I can help shape the seed topics during the brief.
Q: Can you write the content too? This gig covers research, intent mapping, and clustering — not the writing itself. The summary tells you exactly what to create, so a writer can pick it up directly. Reach out if you'd like to discuss content work separately.
Q: What language and region can you target? I primarily research English-language keywords and can target specific countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, and others). Tell me your market in the brief so the volume and competition data reflect the right region.
Q: How is the delivery formatted? A structured Google Sheet (with Excel/CSV export) plus a short written summary document. Everything is editable and yours to keep — no proprietary dashboard or ongoing subscription needed.
Q: What if I need more keywords or topics than a tier includes? Just message me before ordering. I'll scope a custom version based on the number of topics, competitors, and keywords you need, and confirm everything in writing first.
Q: How many revisions are included? Basic includes 1 revision, Standard 2, and Premium 3. Revisions cover refining the focus, swapping in keywords, or re-prioritizing clusters — they're not a full re-research of a brand-new topic, which would be a separate order.

Really thorough work on a pretty obscure niche. The intent breakdown helped me see which queries were buyers versus people just browsing for info.
- @works7★★★★★5
Got a detailed keyword sheet with search volumes and intent grouped into topic clusters. Exactly what I needed to plan my content calendar.
- @alexz★★★★★4
Solid research for my niche and the spreadsheet was well laid out. Took a little longer than I expected but the quality made up for it.
- @mintforge★★★★★4
Clean keyword research delivered in a tidy sheet, and the intent columns made prioritizing pages straightforward. Would order again.
- @thecoder★★★★★5
The keyword list was massive but actually organized by search intent, so I knew exactly which terms to target with blog posts versus product pages. Super clear and easy to act on.
- @eli_r★★★★★5
Loved how every keyword was tagged informational, commercial, or transactional. That intent mapping saved me so much guesswork.
- @finn_design★★★★★3
The intent mapping was genuinely useful, but a chunk of the keywords felt a bit broad for my small niche and I had to trim the list myself.
