Why should you analyze search results and how does SERP analysis benefit your SEO strategy?
How SERP analysis benefits your SEO
- You can use SERP analysis to help with your keyword research. You probably won’t analyze the results of every single keyword you have in your analysis, as you may have hundreds or thousands of keywords. However, you can focus on analyzing high-priority keywords. These are usually the ones with higher search volume and lower competition.
- SERP analysis can also be useful if you are analyzing your competition, looking for content inspiration, or if you just want to find out which websites appear most often in search results.
- This miner can also be used for Barnacle SEO. This tactic basically means that you try to get your site linked from the page that appears in the search results for highly competitive keywords for which you don’t have a chance to rank with your site. For example, a forum like Quora, an encyclopedia like Wikipedia, or an authoritative article from which you can try to get a backlink.
