When to use it.

SEO Keyword Plan is a two-tab spreadsheet for SEO consultants, agencies and shop owners deciding which keywords to go after and what to write. The Keywords tab groups keywords into topic clusters with volume, difficulty, CPC, intent, current and target rank, then works out the visits a month each would add, a score and a priority. Tiles total each cluster. The Content plan lists every page to create or refresh with its date, writer and status, pulls in its keywords and visits by URL, and shows the visits each month's publishing adds.
