What is Seed Keywords
Seed keywords are the foundational terms that represent your core topics, products, or services. They serve as starting points for keyword research, from which you expand to find related terms, long-tail variations, and question-based queries.
Example
For a running shoe store: seed keywords might be 'running shoes', 'athletic footwear', 'trail running'
