1. Go into Google Ads

2. In the left side-bar select Keywords > Search keywords

3. Scroll over to right and sort the "Conversions" column in descending order

4. Review the list of queries to see your highest priority keywords

You can also sort by "Conversion Rate" to see queries that are the most likely to convert.

With this data, you'll instantly be able to see a give site's most lucrative search queries. Then you'll be able to integrate those queries into your SEO strategy: 1. Track them in your SEO tool of choice 2. Create segments around them to see search performance for those terms specifically 3. Find queries where they rank in the top 20 but need further optimizations 4. Oftentimes, you'll find queries where they don't even have the right landing page. These can be great targets for new page recommendations. 5. Immediately understand what the business cares about. If they're willing allocate a large amount of budget, they probably care deeply about that query.

This is one of my favorite reports to use to get an idea of how to set an SEO strategy and immediately understand what products/services are needle movers for a given business.

No one cares, seos are the scrum of the online ecosystem

Obviously, depends on the industry/niche/vertical, but how much do you figure you need to spend on PPC to get enough data to see this? What kind of PPC match types are you using to get a wider volume of search terms?

cool !!
