Client request

We're preparing a content plan for FlowDesk CRM and have collected an initial list of keywords related to CRM software, lead management, customer management, and sales follow-up.

Review the supplied keyword data and organize it into a research sheet that the SEO team can use during content planning. Identify likely search intent, group related keywords, set a practical research priority, and explain your reasoning.

Your task

1

Review the supplied keyword dataset and its simulated SEO metrics.

2

Classify the likely search intent behind each keyword.

3

Organize related keywords into useful topic groups.

4

Assign a practical research priority to each keyword.

5

Explain your reasoning so another member of the SEO team can understand your decisions.

Your role is to organize the research, not create the final SEO strategy.

Do not rank keywords by search volume alone. Consider likely search intent, relevance to the fictional product and audience, competition, and how the keyword could support a content plan.

Remember: this is a practice assignment.

FlowDesk CRM is fictional, and the keyword metrics used in this assignment are simulated practice data. They are not current values from an SEO platform. The goal is to practice the workflow and create a simulated work sample.
