Quick start
- Open Advanced SEO and navigate to Keywords > Keyword Research.
- Type a broad seed keyword related to your niche (e.g., “Canadian commercial roofing”) into the search bar. You can even enter a competitor’s domain!
- Filter your results by specific locations and languages (e.g., “Canada – English”) to ensure the data is highly relevant to your client.
Follow the detailed steps below to complete the setup.
You just signed a high-ticket client for a massive SEO retainer. They want to dominate their local market. You tell your team to start writing blog posts and optimizing pages. Three months later, the client asks for a concrete update on their rankings and their return on investment. You freeze.
You scramble to pull up random incognito tabs, trying to manually search their business name. You realize you have zero actual data. You don’t know what keywords are driving traffic, and worse, you don’t even know if the keywords you targeted have any real search volume. The client cancels the retainer because you cannot prove your work is actually moving the needle. You are bleeding monthly recurring revenue because you are relying on guesswork instead of hard data.
You cannot scale an agency if your SEO strategy is based on hoping for the best. HighLevel fixes this instantly with its built-in Keyword Research and Rank Tracking tools. You can now discover high-volume keywords, track your client’s exact rankings, and prove your ROI with undeniable data. Let us get your SEO dialed in right now.
