Whether you’re creating a new page or optimizing an existing one, it’s always best to start with finding the right organic keywords to add to your content. The easiest way to do keyword optimization is to check the keywords your competitors are using or ranking for.
In this post, we will show you how to search keywords on a website both manually and automatically.
How to Check Keywords on a Website Manually
One way to check site keywords manually is by looking for repetitive keyword placements in key positions such as in the:
- Title
- Meta description
- First sentence or first paragraph
- Headings
- Body of the text
This is a rather manual and time-consuming process, but this also allows you to gauge how effective their content is and find ways to present and develop your content better.
You can also use the CTRL+F for Windows or Cmd+F for Mac to find specific keywords on a website. If the site has a search bar, you can also make use of that to find the pages you’re looking for. However, not every search bar is smart enough to generate the most relevant search results.
You can also use search operators to manually search a website for keywords.
Just use the Google Search Operator “site:”. Type “site:” into Google Search then add the website you want to target as well as the keyword you’re looking for.
For example:
This then shows you all relevant search results only from the selected domain, featuring all the pages that use the keyword specified.
If you want to generate only the pages with exact match keywords, just add quotation marks around the target keyword.
This Google search operator can also be useful when you’re looking for specific pages from a website that you can use for internal or external linking. However, gone are the days when marketers have to rely on manual methods for keyword research. Nowadays, there’s a plethora of effective keyword research tools to significantly speed up the process.
