Using Google Sheets and keyword research for SEO go hand in hand.
I actually like keyword research. Picking the right terms and watching them jump up the rankings. #SAD
What I don’t like is finding them. It takes too long and there’s too much clicking and copy and pasting involved. Do what I do: supercharge your keyword research (and rank tracking) with these free keyword analysis templates.
