I agree completely. Besides the top organic results, SEMRush shows interesting information on the volume and commercial value, blending this with some keyword suggestions as well. Thank you for your addition 🙂

The one thing I might add is that on step #1, you could take a look at SEMRush. I’m so hooked on the data they provide – very good stuff.

Thanks to you I also discovered a useful tool that I will use more often, which is the Open Site Explorer tool.

In time, I noticed that, although the authority of a page is not calculated in relation to keywords, this metric has a great influence in the combination that helps the page rank higher for a given keyword

Which for me is the single most important factor in the process – analyzing your competitors backlinks and their strength. And then using those sources for your ownself, of course!

Awesome post, When I first came to know about Open Site Explorer tool,I was very excited about it which was interesting because I could analyze the strength of my Competitors’ Backlinks and from then I often use it and found a big positive difference in my work.
