Aw, that’s lovely to hear! I am so pleased you found this article so helpful 😀

Good to hear! As far as time period goes, it doesn’t hugely matter. It’s simply about finding a keyword that you know delivers a ‘good’ number of pageviews each month – so that you can use that as a point of comparison for all your potential keywords. The last 90 days would be fine – but I would avoid anything that is very seasonal. Your benchmark keyword should be something that is fairly evergreen / has all year round traffic. For search console, I’d probably look at the last 12 months. Hope that helps! Eb 🙂

Hi Jeremy, Good to hear you are enjoying my blog! This process is designed to work entirely on its own, without the need to pay for keyword research tools. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can use it in conjunction with a keyword research tool. If used with a keyword research tool, like Ubersuggest, you can use the tool to help you understand the relative volume and competition/difficulty of the different keywords you are considering. I would, however, still translate the numbers Ubersuggest gives you into scores between 1 and 5 before plugging them into the calculator. Hope that helps! Eb 🙂

That’s good to hear! Thanks for sharing 😀

Yes! There absolutely is… You can use Google’s own search results to help you. See this article for details: https://www.productiveblogging.com/google-search-results-for-keyword-research/ Hope that helps! Eb 🙂
