High search volume is meaningless if it doesn't translate into revenue. This playbook shows how to find commercial, high-intent keywords and prioritize them based on financial impact.
1) Map Intent to Value
- Open Performance Report → Organic ROI and note pages/keywords that already drive Goal Value.
- In Organic Search, filter to non-brand and Transactional intent to isolate money terms.
- List modifiers that signal buying mode: pricing, cost, best, vs, template, software, near me.
2) Build a Conversion-First Keyword Set
- Combine Search Console queries with competitor gaps from Content Strategy Center → Competitive Content Gap.
- Score by (est. CTR × conversion rate × Avg. Goal Value). Zyro's Value Opportunity / mo helps estimate upside.
3) Execute with Action Plans
- Create or optimize a page per target; align title/H1, FAQs, and entities surfaced in Action Plan → Content Analysis.
- Link supporting articles within the cluster using descriptive, intent-aligned anchors.
4) Measure What Matters
Track uplift via Action Plan impact charts (rank & clicks), confirm revenue lift in Organic ROI, and reprioritize in the Optimization Hub.
FAQs
