How to Do Keyword Research With OutreachBox

Updated June 15, 2026
Quick answer: Add focus keywords when you create a project, then refine them in the project's Keywords tab and generate fresh ideas in the LLM Keywords tab. Use those keywords to guide AI content generation and the auto generator, and track how they perform in the project's analytics.

Keywords are the backbone of SEO. OutreachBox keeps keyword research tied directly to your projects and content, so the terms you research are the same ones that feed your blogs, articles, and tracking.

How to add and manage keywords

  1. Open a project (or create one — see How to Create an SEO Project).
  2. Go to the Keywords tab.
  3. Add your focus keywords — the phrases you want to rank for.
  4. Review keyword performance and search rankings as data accumulates.

How to get AI keyword suggestions

The LLM Keywords tab uses AI to expand your list:

  1. Open the LLM Keywords tab in your project.
  2. Generate AI-suggested keywords based on your site and focus terms.
  3. Review the suggestions and content-optimization ideas.
  4. Promote the best suggestions into your focus keywords.

How to turn keywords into content

Keywords only help if you act on them:

Best practices

  • Mix high-intent commercial keywords with informational topics to capture the full funnel.
  • Use competitor analysis to find keywords your rivals rank for that you don't.
  • Group related keywords by theme so each piece of content has a clear focus.
  • Revisit and prune keywords as rankings and priorities change.

Frequently Asked Questions

In each project — either at creation under Focus Keywords, or later in the Keywords tab. LLM-generated ideas live in the LLM Keywords tab.

How do AI keyword suggestions work?

OutreachBox analyzes your project and focus keywords to propose related terms and content angles you may have missed. See How to Find AI-Generated (LLM) Keywords.

Do keywords automatically improve my content?

Keywords guide the AI content tools and help track performance, but you should still review and edit generated content for quality and intent.
