In the Keywords Selection report, you can see all the keywords that contain this phrase sorted by the search volume. I'm going to apply the filter to exclude toponyms (cities). I don't need them for this example, but you can skip this step if you do.
Now you can select relevant high-volume keywords and copy them to the clipboard:

We provide the client with a corresponding report with the audit results and conclusions for each section. Based on the analysis, we can determine the scope of work and set the service prices.
What kind of problems do we encounter?
Many clients have very confusing cases, and it takes a lot of time to figure everything out. We often encounter startups aiming for a niche with no demand and completely unclear business models.

How to Manage Teamwork and Workflow
Managing an SEO team, even if it's a group of highly-skilled professionals, is not easy. Team members make mistakes. Therefore, a manager should be able to efficiently distribute the workload, prioritize tasks, maintain reporting, and evaluate the effectiveness of the results.
Of course, management and workflow are huge topics that require a separate article,
which, by the way, we already have. Here I'd like to focus on one crucial point: how we could help you manage your workflow if you are a Serpstat user or willing to become one. And here's the answer: Serpstat Team Management.
This tool allows you to:

Now, let's hear what managers and team leaders who use Serpstat for their work have to say:
Now, let's hear what managers and team leaders who use Serpstat for their work have to say:
- Igor OaklanderHead of Marketing at InfomirWith the "Team Management" tool, we distributed access to specialists for specific projects and credits so that everyone could use the tools they needed. For instance, our content marketer doesn't use the Site Audit tool but actively spends Text Analysis credits.
We also found the Task List feature very useful. Setting up to-do lists for different projects and synchronizing them helps us avoid confusion when assigning and performing tasks. We've created several checklist templates, mainly for technical purposes, not to miss anything when creating a new project.
Through the Team Management tool, the manager can monitor the status and performance of tasks from the checklists and set up automatic reporting on the team's work.
Since Infomir operates in more than 150 countries, we must track website position changes in different regions quickly and monitor our competitors' strategies, both in SEO and PPC.
Some of our projects are content-driven; we actively run blogs on our websites and publish an industry business magazine. Serpstat helps us at each content promotion stage: from selecting topics for our publications to tracking the website's positions in search results. - Eugene KutsenkoAs for Serpstat's Team Management tool, you can use it to see how many credits your specialist uses for different tools in percentage terms. However, this is certainly not enough for a complete team performance evaluation.
As for me, it is better to pay attention not only to the amount of work done but also the degree of its impact on a team's final result. - Vadim IvashkevichSpeaking of the Team Management tool, having a manager account makes it convenient to detect who wastes the credits and to prevent people from making mistakes. For instance, there was a case where our specialist burned all the API credits because he reloaded a file that was getting data from API. We detected it on time and prevented the loss of the credits. The most remarkable thing was that he didn't waste the credits of the entire agency, but only his own, because we previously distributed them with the Team Management tool.
The tool is also helpful for determining which team member runs the analysis most often and who does not use the tool at all. Perhaps, the person is not familiar with many service features, and our budget is wasted on "simple tasks"?
