• Deadline for Submission: Employees should submit their SEO Keyword Strategy Document by the end of the quarter (e.g., March 31, 2025).

2. SEO Keyword Strategy Document Structure

The SEO Keyword Strategy Document should include the following key sections:

• Introduction to SEO Strategy
  • Overview of SEO: Provide a brief explanation of SEO and its importance for classified ads. This should cover why keyword optimization in URLs is essential for boosting search engine rankings and visibility.
  • Objective of the Document: State the goal of the document, which is to create a standardized list of keywords that should be incorporated into ad URLs for effective SEO.
• List of Targeted Keywords
  • Primary Keywords: Identify the most important, high-volume keywords that are most relevant to the products or services in the classified ads. This should be based on SEO research conducted from the SayPro Monthly January SCMR-5 and any keyword research tools (e.g., Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, Ahrefs).
    • Example: “used cars,” “real estate listings,” “apartment for rent.”
  • Long-Tail Keywords: List more specific, lower-volume keywords that may attract niche audiences. These should be included in URLs for more detailed ad categories or highly targeted search queries.
    • Example: “affordable used cars in [city name],” “2-bedroom apartments for rent near [location].”

  • Avoiding Keyword Stuffing: Warn against overstuffing keywords in URLs. Ensure that URLs remain readable and user-friendly while still being optimized for SEO.
  • Incorporate Main Category and Ad Type: Suggest that URLs should reflect the ad’s category and type. This allows search engines and users to quickly understand what the ad is about.
    • Example: “real-estate-homes-for-sale” or “furniture-couch-for-sale.”
