How to Group Keywords?

Why Group Keywords?

Keywords are the most frequently used in daily SEO work. Keywords can be obtained in bulk with the help of Google Keyword Tool and SEM Keyword Report. After that, you have to manually classify the keywords in order to write articles for the same group of keywords. As for keyword classification, we need to integrate keywords with strong SERP correlation and similar meanings. It is also called Keyword Grouping.

In fact, the classification of keywords is very cumbersome and time-consuming, and some industries involve even tens of millions of keywords.

There are two common grouping methods:

1. Group by word matching degree

The grouping is a simple approach and requires only splitting and comparing the words or words in the keywords. Combine words with similar meanings in one group.

Examples:

– Copy hard disk and hard disk copy. Two keywords can be quickly classified into the same group when the number and meaning of words are so close that there is only a difference in word ordering.

– Copy hard disk and clone hard drive. This grouping approach does not apply in the case of a large number of synonyms.

Pros: Fast and less resource consumed

Cons: Inaccurate, especially for keywords with less than 5 words; It can’t identify synonyms.

2. Group by Keywords’ SERP Similarity

Keywords can be grouped based on their SERP results by using Google’s close words to complete the processing system.

Pros: Accurate

Cons: Time-consuming and high-volume manual processing
