Most users familiar with Semrush know that when you wish to export a particular report, you have to receive all of the results, rather than the select few results you would like to actually have exported. You would go to type in a competitor, click on the Organic Positions report and notice only a select amount of keywords you would actually like exported. These could be keywords you wish to research further or keywords you wish to keep your eye on moving forward. Well I have great news! The newest feature implemented within Semrush will make this process much easier.
Keyword research is at the core of the search marketing process. It is the absolute first item you need to address before doing anything else. But many search marketers just scratch the surface — and end up with only a few, high competition keywords. This approach is wrong, and a sure way to achieve little ROI and leave a lot of money on the table. There’s a better way. We’ll take a look at how to take your keyword research and assessment process to the next level — how to go from, “Oh, I just use the Google AdWords Keyword Planner” to creating a process that uncovers new and interesting keywords that more effectively map your customers’ intent while escaping prohibitive competition. This means better ROI on your search marketing spend and, yes, happier clients and managers. Let’s get started.

Unfortunately, since the Meta tags keywords have been abused by unscrupulous webmasters, search engines such as Google and Bing have had to de-emphasize their importance. Still, Meta keywords SEO should not be taken off web pages completely.
