How to Research Focus Keyword
It’s all about figuring out what your target audiences are typing into search engines. For example, if you sell homemade cat foods, you’d want to think about phrases like organic cat foods, homemade cat foods, or even healthy cat foods.
To begin, just brainstorm a few general ideas. Get some general ideas, then peek at Google’s suggestions like “people also ask” to find more specific phrases.
Once you have a few ideas, you can use tools like Google Keyword Planner, Semrush, or Ahrefs. This helps you see how many people search for it and how tough the competition is. Remember, the sweet spot is looking for keywords that people actually use, but aren’t super hard to rank for.

Basically, WinnSEO’s basically saying, “Alright, I’m gonna check out how well your page is optimized specifically for this keyword!”
Here score range and their meanings are:
- Score 1-50: Flashing red, your on-page SEO’s struggling and needs serious work!
- Score 51-80: Showing yellow, your on-page SEO’s okay but could use a quick boost.
- Score 81-100: Green vibes, your on-page SEO’s rocking and in top shape!
