Seed Keyword

Definition

Seed Keywords are the foundation of keyword research. They are typically short, broad terms that represent the main topic or concept you want to target with your content. From these seed keywords, you can expand your research to find related long-tail keywords, variations, and semantic keywords.

In the context of Google Search Console, seed keywords can often be identified by looking at the top queries driving traffic to your site. These can then be used as a starting point for further keyword research and content optimization, helping you discover new opportunities to expand your search visibility.
