Build Your Seed Lists

Based on the information you find on the website, this process will change slightly. You will primarily use the all-inventory page and the filters to determine what types of inventory each dealer offers. That will be used to build our keyword list.

 DS List Building Steps

LIST 1 - Main Offering (Non-Product): Start by making a list of offerings based on information on the homepage. Examples: RV Financing, Motorcycle Financing, RV Service, RV Parts, etc…

  • You will also want to check out their page footer links to determine what some of the most important pages for the dealer are, for example, if they link to their used inventory, they likely care about it quite a bit. This can help inform your list by giving you more topics to add.

  • Repeat for all their main offerings, so if they are a multi-product dealer you would repeat the list for each major category. Such as ATVs, RVs, Boats, Scooters, Etc

** Using a loose 10% rule to determine what inventory you should include in your lists. You can achieve this by navigating to the all inventory page, removing any filters, and grabbing the whole number of units they have in their inventory, and multiplying the number by (.1).

LIST 2 - Condition Modifiers: List out the types of product conditions they offer such as “New”, “Used”, “Pre-Owned”, etc…

LIST 3 - Inventory Product Types: List out all the product types a dealer offers that exceed the 10% rule. Examples: 

LIST 4 - Product Type Subcategories: Within each product type, you will want to list all the products types with their subcategory, such as “Youth UTV” or “Super Sport Street Bike”

LIST 5 - Brands with Product: You will then want to list out all the brands they offer and the type of product each brand is associated with. For example, we don’t want to track “Polaris” we would want to track “Polaris Side x Side” and “Polaris ATV” instead.

LIST 6 - Brands w/o product: Just list all brands offered that meet the 10% rule. 

LIST 7 - Location Modifiers: List out the target location by city, city/state, state, and state abbreviation. Examples: “Mesa”, “Mesa AZ”, “Arizona”, “AZ”

LIST 8 - Intent Modifiers: List out intent keyword modifiers such as “for sale”, “Buy” “for rent”, “sales”, “near me”, “dealer”, “dealership”, “specials”, etc…

  • You do not want to include anything the dealer doesn’t offer. If they don’t do rental, don’t include it. 

** If there are common variations of terms such as: “Harley Motorcycles” and “Harley Bikes”, add as many as you can think of ***

Use Keyword Planner to Sort and Remove Keywords

You will take your initial keyword list pre-multiply and the additions from multiplication to a spreadsheet and add them to Keyword Planner to get the traffic volume and determine the correct location to target in SEO Monitor.

  • Navigate to the keyword planner tool. 

  • Select an inactive account, and click “Get search volume and forecasts

  • Paste your keyword list

  • From here, you will be able to select a location to target.

    • SEARCH VOLUME TARGET = Minimum 1,500 Average Monthly for entire keyword list (not per keyword)

    • Select the most narrow target first, like the city or township where the dealer is located. 

    • If not enough search volume exists for your seed list you will need to expand the target area to either the next closest city or even the state. If a dealer has multiple locations in a state, start with the state. 

  • Once you have found the location Goldilocks zone for search volume you will want to do an export into Google Sheets and eliminate anything that has little to no search volume by sorting by volume and deleting the bottom of the list.

Import to AccuRanker and Start Tagging

Once you have a full list of qualified keywords from keyword planner, you will need to add those keywords to AccuRanker and start tagging them into groups.

Add Keywords

  1. Log into Accuranker and locate the correct domain by making use of the search bar in the top-left corner of side navigation.

  2. Once the domain specific dashboard loads, you will see an orange “+ Add keywords” button near the top left of the dashboard. Click it.

  3. You will paste your keyword list into the keywords field on the top-left of the popup.

  4. Ensure your Search Engine, Locale, and Location setting are all correct

  5. For now, it should be:

    1. US or Canada depending on location

    2. Mobile Google as the search engine

    3. Locations should match the target locations from the intake.

  6. Click “Add Keywords” in the bottom right

  7. It will reload and you’re ready to move on to grouping.

How to Group: 

How we group keywords relates directly back to the pages on the site. In your inventory catalog, you will have product type pages and brand pages, and then under each of those, you will have further breakdowns depending on dealer inventory. The simple rule to ensure you’re putting a keyword in the correct group is “One Group, One Page”. Having one group for each page on the site helps the Juniper and content teams to know what keywords should be included in the content or on reporting.

We will make use of Accuranker’s tagging function to replicate our grouping from SEOmonitor 

Tags- One each for all brands and product types. It allows you to see stats for the whole brand or the whole product type in a roll-up report.

Tagging Guide:

  1. Navigate to the correct domain

  2. Click the “Keywords” tab in the main navigation

  3. You can now use the filter search bar at the top of the page to search for keywords

    1. image-20240124-185143.png

  4. After searching for the keywords you want to group, you can select the keywords you want to add tags to by clicking the checkbox for each keyword row in the site

  5. Once you have selected keyword you want to tag, you will see new options above the table. Click the one that says “✏️ Edit” and then select “Add tags” from the drop-down.

    1. image-20240124-185417.png
