Quickwins: Finding SEO keywords that actually rank

# Quickwins: Finding SEO keywords that actually rank

Most SEO tools tell you what's popular. Quickwins tells you what's winnable.

## The problem with traditional SEO tools

They show you:
- Search volume (cool, but irrelevant if you can't rank)
- Difficulty score (usually inflated)
- SERP features (hard to parse)

What they don't show:
- Which keywords you can actually rank for *now*
- Low-effort content angles
- Clusters you're already close to winning

## How Quickwins works differently

### 1. Winnability score

We calculate:
- Your current domain authority
- Competitor content quality (word count, backlinks, freshness)
- SERP intent match

Output: "Green" (you can rank in 4 weeks), "Yellow" (possible in 3 months), "Red" (not worth it)

### 2. Cluster discovery

Instead of one-off keywords, we find semantic clusters:
- "pricing calculator" + "cost estimator" + "budget tool" = one content piece that ranks for all three

Efficient content creation.

### 3. Brief generator

For each green/yellow keyword, we generate:
- Recommended word count
- Competitor content gaps
- Internal linking opportunities
- Outline structure

Cut research time by 80%.

## Results in 30 days

Pilot customers (6 SaaS companies):
- 230+ new keywords ranking in top 10
- 14% increase in organic traffic
- 70% reduction in content planning time

## Why this works now

AI makes content production cheap. The bottleneck is *strategy*. Quickwins gives you the strategy.
