The Future of Keyword Research: Complex Math Made Simple

The Future of Keyword Research: Complex Math Made Simple

At Aztek, we’re all about helping you build a strong, scalable foundation for your digital marketing. But let’s face it – sometimes traditional SEO feels like guesswork. You’re diving into keyword lists, intuition guiding you, but you still wonder if you’re missing something crucial. It’s inefficient and frustrating.

Here’s the good news: the future of keyword research is here, and it’s surprisingly mathematical.

Goodbye Guesswork, Hello Precision

Humans excel at creativity and intuition, which is a fancy way of saying that we can craft engaging content that’s genuinely useful. Computers, meanwhile, are unparalleled at rapidly processing enormous amounts of data. 

Traditionally, SEO has been stuck between these worlds. The human brain’s creativity makes content that is interesting and different (and sometime even fun). The problem is that us mere humans are limited by slow, manual analysis and often distracted by shiny objects and the latest TikTok trend.

But what if computers could ‘understand’ your content as intuitively as a seasoned marketer? Enter embeddings.

What Are Embeddings, Exactly?

Embeddings are mathematical translations of words or phrases into numerical vectors. Think of this as turning words into coordinates – complex, yes, but incredibly powerful. Instead of matching exact keywords, embeddings enable us to match meaning, context, and nuance mathematically.

Imagine typing “Search Engine Optimization” and instantly generating a detailed numeric representation. This numeric representation allows us to quickly identify related topics through cosine similarity – essentially, mathematical matchmaking for keywords.

Why Should You Care?

You don’t need to have a degree in abstract concepts and logical structures to care about keyword math. Here’s why it matters for your business:

  • Competitor Analysis Made Easy: Instantly discover semantically similar keywords your competitors are using. Identify gaps in your content strategy, ensuring you’re always one step ahead.
  • Precision Internal Linking: Quickly identify and connect content clusters. With embeddings, simply search for pages related to your root keywords, ensuring your internal linking structure is precise and comprehensive.
  • Prevent Keyword Cannibalization: Instantly identify overly similar content that’s hurting your site’s SEO. Using cosine similarity, we pinpoint content overlaps, allowing you to strategically differentiate pages.
  • Logical Content Clusters: Confused about structuring your content effectively? Embeddings allow us to effortlessly apply clustering algorithms like K-nearest neighbors, which is a real machine learning algorithm. As a result, you can use math to create logical, well-defined content groups in seconds.
