Been working on a large Keyword Research project in an arena I’m largely unfamiliar. This has led to casting a wide net to find the relevant keywords.
As such I’ve collected more keywords than normal. Identifying the signal amidst the noise is a challenge.
Through seed keywords and competitor analysis, I curated a set of 51,538 keywords to analyze.
This is before including the relevant competitor’s sites this has all led me to.
I narrowed these down to 3,422.
Now, of these 3,422 only a small portion are highly relevant based on relevance, intent, and Cost Per Click value (CPCv).
Leveraging the strength of Google Sheets formulas makes all of this palatable.
I was struggling with my VLOOKUP tables. It was not dynamic enough.
What I discovered was the IF Formula. Based on a series of IF, IF ELSE statements.
My IF Statement was growing outside of my comfort zone so I recruited the help of AbleBits IF Formula Builder.
I’ve used AbleBits add-ons before but was never compelled to purchase - till now… signing up for a lifetime subscription.
Research is complete. I understand the landscape, opportunities, and gaps that intersect with our strengths.
IF statements!
