How to Use the Keyword Magic Tool 如何使用关键字魔术工具
The Keyword Magic Tool gives you a powerful resource to analyze an entire search market, study niche subtopics, and groups, and save your research as you go. From small business website owners to enterprise agencies and corporations, this tool provides you with insightful data to use and get ahead of your competition.
关键字魔术工具为您提供了强大的资源来分析整个搜索市场，细分主题和定位进行深入研究，并随时保存结果。从小型企业网站到企业机构和公司，此工具为您提供了极富价值的数据，供您使用并在竞争中领先。
Start with Your Seed Keyword 从您的种子关键词开始
To get started, simply enter a keyword you want to analyze into the search bar. The keyword entered in the search bar is your seed keyword (1), here you will select your database. From your seed keyword, the tool will generate a complete listing of all the various related terms in the table below (2). Depending on the popularity of your seed keyword, the table could show millions of related keywords in the table. To the left of the main table are the groups (3) generated by the Keyword Magic Tool.
要开始使用，只需在搜索栏中输入要分析的关键字即可。在搜索栏中输入的关键词是您的种子关键词（1），在这里您将选择您的数据库。从您的种子关键词中，该工具将生成下表（2）中所有各种相关词的完整列表。根据种子关键词的受欢迎程度，该表格可能会在表格中显示数百万个相关关键词。主表的左侧是由关键字魔术工具生成的分类（3）。
Set Match Modifiers 设置匹配选项
There are a few modifiers that you can use to get more specific results from your seed keyword. As you query your seed keyword, you can choose Broad Match, Phrase Match, Exact Match, or Related.
您可以使用一些选项从种子关键字中获取更具体的结果。查询种子关键字时，可以选择"广泛匹配"、"短语匹配"、"完全匹配"或"相关"。
Broad Match is the default report and it will show all keyword ideas for the seed keyword in all found forms and without the exact order. This modifier returns the largest amount of keywords.
广泛匹配是默认报告，它显示所有基本匹配的关键词，并且没有确切的顺序。此选项返回的关键词数量最多。
**Phrase Match **provides keywords in the exact same form as the seed keyword but in various orders. This will exclude variations of your seed keyword (-ing, -ed, -s, etc) from your results.
词组匹配以与种子关键词完全相同的词组提供关键词，但词组出现的顺序不同。这将从结果中排除种子关键词（-ing、-ed、-s 等）的变体。
**Exact Match **shows all keyword ideas for the seed keyword in the exact same form as the seed keyword and in the exact order.
完全匹配以与种子关键词完全相同的形式和确切的顺序显示所有匹配词。
For example, if you query “Los Angeles trips” in the tool with the 3 different match types, the Broad Match report will have keywords such as “day trips from Los Angeles,” and “top 10 day trips to Los Angeles” that the other two match type reports would exclude because of the changed word order and variation on the word “trip” to “trips.”
例如，如果您在工具中使用 3 种不同的匹配类型查询"洛杉矶行程"，则"广泛匹配"报告将包含关键字（如"从洛杉矶出发的一日游"和"前往洛杉矶的前 10 天行程"），其他两个匹配类型报告会将其排除，因为单词顺序和单词"trip"的变体为"trips"。
Related shows keywords that are determined to be related based on having similar search engine results. Learn more about the best uses of this filter in the Related Keywords section below.
"相关性"显示基于具有相似搜索引擎结果，被确定为相关性的关键词。要详细了解此过滤器的最佳用法，请参阅下面的相关关键字部分。
Filter For Question Keywords 筛选提问关键词
Another way to modify your search is with the Questions button. Hit this button to only see keywords in the form of a question.
修改搜索的另一种方法是使用"问题"按钮。点击此按钮可查看仅属于提问形式的关键词。
Question-based keywords can significantly help you build out a search marketing plan. Common questions can be a great way to find ideas for blog posts, campaigns, featured snippets to target, and more. When you target a question-based keyword, you have something more specific to do: provide a direct answer.
基于问题的关键字可以极大地帮助您制定搜索营销计划。常见问题是查找博客文章、广告系列、要定位的精选摘要等的好方式。当您优化这类基于提问的关键词时，您需要做一些更具体的事情：提供直接的答案。
Common question types that make for good content include “how-to’s”, “what is the difference between x and y,” and “where do I find x?” All of these types of questions are very common for search engine users and therefore, can be great sources of ideas for SEO-focused content.
构成优质内容的常见问题类型包括"怎么做/怎么办"，"x和y之间有什么区别"以及"我在哪里可以找到x？所有这些类型的问题对于搜索引擎用户来说都很常见，因此，可以成为以SEO优化的重要手段。
Explore Keyword Groups 探索关键字组
In the menu to the left will be the suggested groups of related topics. Groups are organized by shared added keywords, so you can use groups to explore the subtopics around your main keyword. You can order the groups in this list by the number of keywords in the group or the amount of combined average monthly search volume between the keywords in the group. Use groups for identifying niche topics and generating ideas for PPC campaign ad groups.
在左侧的菜单中是相关分类组。组按共享添加的关键词进行组织，因此您可以使组来浏览主要关键词的长尾词。您可以按组中的关键词数或组中关键词之间的每月平均搜索量对列表中的组进行排序。使用组来识别长尾主题并为PPC广告系列广告组生成创意。
To see the total search volume of a group, choose “By volume” instead of “By number” above the group table **(1). **To hide a group, use the eye icon beside the group name (2).
Subgroups
To go even deeper into a niche, you can click on a group’s arrow and explore subgroups. These work the same way as groups. You’ll be able to see the total number of keywords and the total search volume per subgroup, and have the ability to hide a subgroup from your total batch with the eye icon beside the subgroup name.
At the moment, there are three levels of subgroups. So you can enter your seed keyword (snowboard), explore your first-level group (size), second-level subgroup (boots), and third-level subgroup (Burton).
If you’re building a PPC campaign around keyword groups found in this tool, you may want to explore subgroups to get a more hyper-specific set of keywords to target with each group.
Total Volume and Average Difficulty
Browse through the different groups and you’ll notice the Total Volume and Average Difficulty metrics above the table that will adjust to reflect the keywords you’re looking at. Total Volume represents the combined average monthly search volume of all the keywords in the current group you’re analyzing. Average Difficulty shows the average keyword difficulty among all the terms in the selected group.
This gives you an estimate of how much traffic each subcategory is worth and how hard it would be to rank your website for the keywords in that group. Groups with high Total Volume and low Average Difficulty should be more valued and identified as topics to target with content marketing or SEO efforts.
Intent
Identifying a user’s intent can be an important but time-consuming process. To help, we marked up each keyword in our databases (in 10 languages) to show a user’s intent automatically. Potential customers use keywords differently based on their goal, so you can make decisions on whether and how to target a term based on a searcher's intent.
The 4 intents are:
**Informational **- The user wants to find an answer to a specific question.
Navigational - The user wants to find a specific page, site, or physical location.
**Commercial **- The user wants to investigate brands or services.
**Transactional **- The user wants to complete an action (conversion).
The tool allows you to filter for the right keywords which makes it easy to start optimizing your content.
Filters
You can filter by including/excluding keywords, search intent, word count, or by a specific metric. In the same way, you can query your seed keyword with match types, you can also add additional include/exclude keyword filters using Broad or Exact Match to specify the filter.
For example, imagine your seed keyword is ‘banana.’ If you type in ‘buy fresh’ in the include filter…
- Exact Match will include the exact match of the phrase ‘buy fresh’ with the same words order. So you will get ‘buy fresh bananas’, ‘where to buy fresh bananas’, ‘buy fresh bananas in New York’, etc.
- Broad Match will include all forms of the words 'buy' and 'fresh' and will suggest variations of the word order. So you will get all keywords from exact match plus ‘‘buy the freshest banana’, ‘buy bananas fresh’, ‘buy super-fresh bananas in New York’, etc.
The same logic is implemented in the Exclude filter.
After adding any specific words to include or exclude, you can also add filters for any of the other metrics: Word Count, Volume, KD, Intent, CPC, Competitive Density and SERP features.
Word Count filtering makes it easier to scan for long-tail keywords.
Cost-per-click and Competitive Density filters are useful for finding PPC campaign keywords.
Volume and Keyword Difficulty filters will be helpful for prioritizing target keywords in a content marketing or SEO campaign.
Intent filter is useful for sorting and analyzing keywords by a specific intent type. After you filter by intent, you can export the report for the filtered group.
The filter can help you get a quick insight into your audience’s intent, create keyword buckets and think of the right landing page for a specific query. You should create content with intent in mind, making sure it will be able to match your audience’s intent.
Find SERP Features Opportunities
Finding keywords that trigger SERP Features is another great feature within the Keyword Magic Tool. With the SERP Features filters, you can filter the list of keywords and identify the exact keywords that trigger the various types of SERP Features. These SERP Features include Instant Answer, Knowledge Graph, Carousel, Local Pack, News, Images, Site Links, Review, Tweet, Video, Featured Video and Featured Snippets. With each keyword, you can view the SERP source with the SERP icon in the column second from the right.
If your website is authoritative enough in the eyes of Google, your content could be chosen for a Featured Snippet result. Therefore, you can look for these targets by including filters for the specific Knowledge Graph results you want to take advantage of.
You can add multiple SERP Feature filters at the same time to look for keywords that trigger more than one special result on their SERP. For example, some keywords will trigger a Featured Video result in addition to regular video results. Another example would be looking for keywords that trigger both Local Pack and Review results on the SERP.
Excluding SERP Features is another way to prospect keywords to target with SEO because a results page with no SERP Features can be easier to compete on. To filter for only keywords with no SERP Feature, use the “none” option in the SERP Feature filter dropdown.
Related Keywords
Related Keywords filter within Keyword Magic is perfect for finding different keywords that you can target with your website to help build up your overall search authority and bring more organic traffic to your site.
Finding related keywords that are similar to the main keyword allows you the chance to slowly build up your authority for that keyword - especially if the main keyword has high volume and intent.
Semrush Related Keywords are based on our related % metric and represent the keywords that have less competition and thus give you a better chance of getting a higher ranking for a valuable main keyword.
Broaden The Scope of Your Keyword List
Casting a wide net with your keyword research can help you reach keyword niches that could have been ignored. Related Keywords can give you insight into other similar keyword suggestions.
Here you can see after entering “workout gear” we can find that combinations containing “workout clothes” have a rather high search volume. Though their related % is no too big these could make a good addition to our hypothetical target list in case you sell clothes. However, the closer the related% is to 100 the better.
As mentioned earlier, using these generally less competitive keywords to build up your search authority will help you eventually obtain the ability to target your main goal keywords.
If you are analyzing a long tail keyword within the Related Keywords Report you will be able to see similar long-tail keywords that can be added to your Keyword List.
The more long-tailed keywords that you have in your Keyword List, the more likely you are to have high search ranks because of the fact that these keywords are so specifically linked to your brand and content.
Long-tailed keywords have less competition than your normal generic keywords, allowing for a higher potential click-through rate which can ensure that your keyword list is getting the highest possible ROI.
Uncover New Profitable Keyword Ideas For Content
Using related keywords can not only help in building out your perfect keyword list but it can also help to spark new content ideas for your site’s SEO optimization. Related Keywords can be perfect for generating on-site content ideas for any new blog or landing page that you are creating for a future campaign.
If you are looking to draw up a landing page for a new PPC campaign focusing on newly released snowboard boots, the Related report can help you determine what other search terms users are searching for when it comes to your main keyword.
Using these related keywords within your actual landing page content can actually help increase your natural SEO ranking in the eyes of Google.
Content is becoming key in the eyes of Google, so coming up with creative ways to add key-related keywords to your content can help you blow away your competition.
Exporting
If you want to export multiple groups (but not every group) in one file, use the eye icon to exclude the groups you don’t want from your full batch. After excluding every group that you don’t want to export, hit “All keywords” again at the top of the group menu and export the full table.
You are able to export your keyword list into a CSV, XLSX, and CSV semicolon file.
When exporting the full table, you have the choice to export with or without groups. When you export with groups, the keyword groups will be formatted as separate tabs within your excel file.
Not only can you export your list to a CSV file but you can also send keywords to the Keyword Manager. If you want to export keywords from multiple seed lists, you will have to export from the Keyword Manager.
To add keywords from Keyword Magic Tool to the Keyword Manager, click on the checkbox next to the individual keyword and select the blue “To Keyword Manager” button.
