What they did
1) In Ahrefs Keywords Explorer, search with the box left blank to get all keywords. 2) Add 'include' filters for your space and tool type (e.g. 'AI' + 'generator'; also try 'builder', 'creator'). 3) Keyword difficulty filter under 10 (e.g. 'AI image generator' is KD 87, too hard). 4) Volume filter of at least 1,000 monthly searches. Keep ones relevant to the product (e.g. 'AI reply generator'). 5) List keywords with global volume and KD in Notion. 6) Write the CTA each tool would carry to the main product. 7) Build a table: keyword, volume, KD, build effort, relevance to product; prioritize high volume, low KD, easy to build, highly relevant.

“Step one would be you go to Ahrefs, go to Keywords Explorer, and I leave this as blank.”
“Let's say I only want to get keywords with less than 10 keyword difficulty, so I just put it as 10 and then apply.”
“Okay, I need at least 1,000 monthly search volume, so like I'll just apply 1,000.”
“So, once I have this table written down, I will just prioritize it based on tools that have high volume, low keyword difficulty, that are easy to build and highly relevant to my product, and then just prioritize based on that.”
