Phase 1: Keyword Discovery for High-Intent Informational Queries

The first step is identifying which informational keywords your ideal customers are using. Not all informational searches are equal—some signal strong purchase intent.

Tactic 1.1: Use the ‘People Also Ask’ Goldmine

Why this works: Google’s People Also Ask (PAA) boxes are direct signals of related questions users ask. Ranking here gets you prime real estate.

Exactly how to do it:

1. Search your core topic in Google.
2. Scroll to the PAA box and extract 5-10 questions.
3. Use Ahrefs or Semrush to check monthly search volume for each.
4. Prioritize questions with 200+ searches/mo and low competition.
5. Create a dedicated blog post answering each question thoroughly.
6. Add schema markup FAQPage to the page.
7. Monitor rankings with Google Search Console.

Pro script / template: “I found 12 PAA questions for ‘SEO Dhaka’. The one with 450 searches/mo—’How much does SEO cost in Dhaka?’—has high commercial intent. I’ll write a guide: ‘SEO Pricing in Dhaka: Complete 2026 Guide’.”

📊 Expected results: Within 4-6 weeks, 3-5 PAA features per page, driving 200-500 extra monthly visitors.

Tactic 1.2: Exploit ‘Best’ and ‘Vs’ Keywords

(…content shortened for brevity…)

📊 Expected results: 30% higher CTR and 15% conversion rate from these comparison pages.
