Here's the key: Pay close attention to how Gemini organizes or categorizes your keyword data. Here are some possibilities and how they inform your clustering approach:

• Questions: If Gemini groups your keywords around specific questions, these highlight clusters built on providing clear answers and solutions.

  • These question-based groupings in Gemini become the starting point for clusters focused on answering popular concerns.

• Look for patterns: Are your audience members mainly curious about techniques, comparisons, or common problems?

  • This can tell you so much about your audience and how to approach your content creation.

• Search Patterns: Gemini might reveal trends in how people combine keywords with prepositions, comparisons, or other modifiers.

  • Clusters could then be defined around these intent patterns. For example: "vegan baking for beginners" vs. "advanced vegan baking techniques"

• Semantic Themes: Gemini might show the relationships between keywords. Do subtopics naturally emerge (for example, ingredient-focused keywords compared to keywords relating to specific outcomes).
