What to look for in a Keyword Research freelancer
A strong keyword researcher connects search terms to real business goals. Look for:
- A focus on intent, not just volume and difficulty scores.
- Fluency with the tools: Ahrefs, Semrush, or Google Search Console.
- A prioritization method: which terms to chase first and why.
- An eye for gaps competitors have left open.
- Clear deliverables: a usable sheet, not a raw data dump.
Ask how they would separate terms worth pursuing now from ones to park for later.
