Why does keyword analysis take so much time?

Imagine having an SEO expert working tirelessly on your behalf—researching, analyzing, and optimizing your content. That’s exactly what WriteText.ai is doing for you, automatically. While the automated process may take up to 11 minutes per product, it’s a fraction of the time it would take to complete the same work manually. But don’t worry, we have developed WriteText.ai so that you can do keyword research for multiple products handsfree so that you can attend to other tasks while the analysis is being completed.

Here’s a look at what’s happening while the system works its magic.

What’s happening behind the scenes

1. Identifying seed keywords (15 seconds)

The process begins with identifying seed keywords, which are short, primary phrases that describe your product, service, or content. This involves:

• Analyzing the product name, attributes, and featured image(s) to generate relevant keywords​.
• Balancing relevance with selected search intent/s.
  
  

2. Competitor analysis (1-5 minutes)

Next, the system examines your top competitors. This involves:

• Getting the SERPs (search engine results pages) for each seed keyword.
• From the SERPs, identifying up to 20 competitors for each seed keyword​.
• Filtering out irrelevant or branded keywords while extracting actionable insights.

2. Clustering and categorizing keywords (4-6 minutes)

The analysis groups keywords into clusters based on topics or themes. Each keyword is then categorized by difficulty (e.g., low, low-mid, mid, mid-high, and high) and traffic potential.

If done manually, these steps could take hours of dedicated effort from an SEO team. With WriteText.ai, everything happens in the background, saving you time and resources.

The investment behind effective keyword analysis

Keyword analysis is more than just choosing search terms—it’s an in-depth, strategic process that combines creativity, data analysis, and ongoing optimization. While time-consuming, the rewards are clear: higher visibility, increased traffic, and better conversions.
