In Google’s SEO optimization, tools such as Google Adwords and Adsense are first used to mine long-tail words. Then perform effective data cleaning on the long-tail word data mined (excluding unnatural search words, artificially invalid search words, and irrelevant words generated by data matching). Finally, a series of words are deduplicated with Excel or Python, and the redundant parts of the repeated keywords are removed from the keyword table.

Keyword classification, as the name implies, is to divide words into multiple groups according to a certain logic. For example, classify according to products, platforms, service providers, etc. Then these major categories are subdivided again, for example, the product category can be divided into different uses, sizes, and so on. Note: There is no accurate standard for the classification of thesaurus. The main purpose is to allow us to make a reasonable layout on our own pages in the production of the website. And pages in the same category can have strong relevance.

Step 3: Keyword layout

Keyword layout is to distribute the keywords we have organized to each page of the website. Usually, we will set 3~5 keywords on a page.
