How I Check My Keywords for SEO Acceptance
A Simple Step-by-Step Method That Anyone Can Use
When you’re writing a blog post, there’s one thing that can make or break your traffic:
The right keyword.
Not just any keyword—one that brings in people and ranks well with Google.
So how do I check if a keyword is “SEO acceptable”?
I use a simple 3-step process with tools that are either free or already built into what I use.
Let me show you how I do it.
Step 1: Ask ChatGPT for Keyword Suggestions
I always start by asking ChatGPT for keyword ideas.
Why?
Because it can give me a mix of broad, long-tail, and related keywords in seconds.
Let’s say I’m writing a post about affiliate marketing for seniors.
I ask ChatGPT:
“Give me 10 SEO-friendly keyword ideas related to affiliate marketing for seniors.”
It gives me suggestions like:
- Affiliate marketing over 60
- Make money online after retirement
- Best affiliate programs for seniors
- How retirees can earn online
Great stuff!
Now I’ve got a good shortlist.
But are these keywords actually being searched for?
Time to dig deeper.
Step 2: Test the Keywords Using AIOSEO or Jaaxy
If you’re on WordPress and you use AIOSEO, it will give you hints right inside your post editor.
As I write, I enter the keyword into the “Focus Keyword” section.
AIOSEO tells me if:
- The keyword appears in the title and meta description
- It’s in the first paragraph
- It’s used naturally through the text
That’s helpful for on-page SEO.
The keyword used on this page got a rating of 86/100 on AIOSEO
But I don’t stop there.
I also check the keyword on Jaaxy.
Jaaxy is a keyword research tool that gives me:
- Search volume (how many people are searching for it)
- Traffic (estimated visitors if I rank)
- Competition (how hard it will be to rank)
If the search volume is too low or the competition is too high, I skip that keyword.
Instead, I look for the golden zone:
- At least 50+ searches per month
- Low to medium competition
Step 3: Do a Quick Google Search
This step might seem basic, but it’s super powerful.
I type my keyword into Google and look at:
- Autocomplete suggestions
- These tell me what people are actually typing.
- Top results
- Are they blogs like mine? Big-name sites? Forums?
- If the top results are from forums or low-authority sites, I know I’ve got a chance to rank.
- “People Also Ask” section
- This gives me extra questions I can answer in my blog to boost SEO.
- Related Searches at the bottom
- More keyword ideas to include or target in the future.
If I see a bunch of ads, product pages, or corporate sites dominating the first page, I may rethink my keyword.
But if the search results are blogs and informational posts, I know I’m in the right place.
Bonus Tip: Use More Than One Keyword
I usually pick one main keyword and sprinkle in 2 or 3 supporting keywords.
For example:
- Main keyword: Affiliate marketing for retirees
- Supporting keywords:
- Work from home over 60
- Senior side hustles
- Make money after retirement
This helps me cover more ground and reach more people—without keyword stuffing.
Why It Matters
I used to write posts that I thought people wanted…
But they didn’t rank.
No traffic.
No sales.
Now, with this method, I let the tools—and real search data—guide my decisions.
It takes a little extra time, but it pays off with more readers and more clicks.
