### Keyword Research Framework

**Keyword Metrics to Evaluate**:
| Metric | What It Means | Good Range |
|--------|--------------|------------|
| Search Volume | Monthly searches | 100-10,000 for most |
| Keyword Difficulty | Competition level | 0-30 for new sites |
| CPC | Commercial intent | Higher = more valuable |
| SERP Features | What's on page 1 | Fewer = easier |

**Keyword Types**:
- **Head Terms**: 1-2 words, high volume, very competitive
- **Body Terms**: 2-3 words, medium volume, competitive
- **Long-tail**: 4+ words, low volume, less competitive

### On-Page SEO Elements

**Title Tag** (50-60 characters):
- Primary keyword near front
- Compelling and click-worthy
- Unique per page
- Include brand (if room)

**Meta Description** (150-160 characters):
- Include primary keyword naturally
- Call-to-action
- Unique value proposition
- Match search intent

**Header Structure**:
```
H1: Main Page Title (one per page, contains keyword)
  H2: Major Section (keyword variations)
    H3: Subsection (semantic terms)
      H4: Supporting detail
```

**Content Optimization Checklist**:
- [ ] Keyword in first 100 words
