How much does semantic core collection cost?
The cost of selecting a semantic core depends on the number of pages, the target region, and the level of competition in the niche. For example, for a niche online store catering to artists, the semantic core will be significantly smaller than for a large marketplace selling home goods. The cost of creating a semantic core will also vary depending on whether the business’s scope covers a single region or the entire country.
Prices for a semantic core vary depending on the type of project; you can send us a request to receive a quote for your project. The cost of a semantic core starts at $300.
What is included in the semantic core development service
Defining goals and objectives
Whether you want to increase sales of goods and services through your website, promote your personal blog, or improve your business’s image—this determines which segment of your target audience you should focus on first and which keywords should be prioritized.
Defining landing pages
You can promote either all pages of the website or just a few. However, at this stage, it’s important to set priorities so that you can allocate keywords appropriately and avoid creating competition among the pages.
Analysis of search results statistics
The more competitive the niche, the greater the external influence on your website. That is why it is important for us to analyze all the top-ranking websites, their content, and the semantic core of your competitors, as well as identify their strengths and weaknesses.
Determining the competitiveness of queries
The more competitive a search query is, the harder it is to rank at the top for it, but the more targeted traffic it will bring. Competitiveness is influenced by a variety of factors: the number of websites using the keyword, the quality of content containing it, its inclusion in the title and description, and its geographical relevance.
Compilation of basic keyword queries
Using Ahrefs, Serpstat, and Google Ads, we compile an initial list of keywords that your target audience might use to find you. The number of core keywords can range from a few hundred to several thousand, depending on the website’s subject matter, the scale of the business, and the promotion goals.
Expanding the semantic core
We add medium- and low-frequency queries, as well as LSI keywords (related phrases), to the compiled database. This process forms a semantic core tailored to the audience’s various search intentions.
Filter requests
We review the website’s semantic core once again and filter out irrelevant search queries. We compile a list of negative keywords—those that won’t drive non-targeted traffic. For example, if you create high-end design projects, the query “download an interior design project for free” won’t be relevant to you.
Clustering of the semantic core
At this stage, keywords are divided from one large group into several much more logical ones. We group queries based on common characteristics: user intent (buy, sell, find, download), interest in a specific product, location, brand, and so on. Clustering helps distribute keywords across the relevant pages of the website.
Final approval
We are presenting the results of the semantic core selection for the client’s website. Once these have been approved, we can move on to creating the site structure and content plan.

The exact timeline depends on the scope of the project.
How much does it cost to build a website's semantic core?
The price for compiling a semantic core is determined based on the scope of the project, the number of pages, the level of competition in the niche, and the target region. Before ordering a semantic core compilation service, you can find out the exact cost for your project by contacting our team.

When should you collect semantic data?
Ideally, this should be done before launching the website and starting any other SEO work.
Is it possible to collect a semantic core on your own?
Since semantics is the foundation of SEO, it’s best to leave it to the professionals, just as you would with laying a building’s foundation. You can certainly put it together yourself, and you can even find instructions on how to do so. However, every individual project has its own nuances, and experience and strong SEO skills are essential for navigating them.

Selecting the right keywords is essential for creating a well-structured website, writing high-quality SEO content, and ensuring the site is appealing to both internet users and search engines.
How many keywords will there be in the semantic core?
The number of keys depends on your field of activity and the scope of the project. For example, for a local art studio, this number would be a few hundred, while for a nationwide marketplace, it would be a few thousand.
What should you keep in mind when collecting a semantic core?
First and foremost, it is important to understand your goals and the intentions of your target audience. Competitiveness, geography, and search frequency are also important factors.

The compiled semantic data will help answer this question. Based on this data, you can create new pages if it’s relevant to your business.

For an online store, commercial search queries are the most important. They typically include words such as “price,” “buy,” “order,” “with delivery,” “affordable,” and so on.
How does simple key aggregation differ from clustering?
First, all potentially useful search queries are collected and then grouped into clusters based on specific criteria. During the clustering process, keywords are grouped by content and search intent. In other words, clustering is the stage that follows data collection.
What tools do you use to research keywords?
We use services such as Ahrefs, Serpstat, and Google Ads to compile a semantic core.
Is this service suitable for online stores with a large number of categories?

Will there be recommendations regarding the site structure and content based on the dublin core?
Yes, clustered semantics is a structure. And once the core has been developed, we create a MindMap visualization of the structure for our clients.
What Is a Semantic Core
A semantic core is a set of keyword variations that potential customers use to find you. For semantics to evolve from an abstract concept into a practical tool, its structure is crucial. We group search terms and phrases by query frequency, geography, and user intent (e.g., buy, view photos, get more information, etc.). The resulting semantic core forms the foundation of on-page optimization and search engine promotion.
Why You Need to Build a Semantic Core
SEO is always about following a strategy and search algorithms. Without the right semantic core, it’s like moving blindly. However, using relevant keywords will increase search engines’ trust in your site and make it relevant to users’ interests. A structure built on semantics will be user-friendly, distribute weight correctly among pages, speed up site navigation, and serve as a solid foundation for further ranking growth.
Types of Keywords
Before selecting a semantic core for website promotion, we determine exactly which search queries we’ll need. These fall into the following categories:
High-frequency keywords.
The most popular, short (1–3 words), and the most competitive. Their search volume is approximately +/- 10,000 per month, depending on the niche. Example: “smartphone”.
Medium-frequency.
More specific but less popular than high-frequency keywords. They generate search volumes ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 and attract a more targeted audience. Example: “smartphone with a good camera”.
Low-frequency.
Even more niche-specific. They will generate up to 1,000 impressions, but offer a better chance of outpacing competitors. Example: “affordable phone with a good camera”.
Commercial.
Designed to drive audience interest in purchasing. Such keywords and phrases typically include terms like “buy”, “price”, “cost”, “order”, etc.
Non-commercial.
Queries users use to search for advice, free information, and solutions to their problems. Examples: “how to fix a phone speaker”, “review of new smartphones”.
Location-based.
Used to promote a website in a specific region; important for local SEO. Examples: “buy a cell phone in Kyiv”.
Non-geo-specific.
Used to target a broad market. These are relevant for stores with worldwide shipping and for services that are not location-dependent. Example: “online SMM courses”.
Transactional.
Another term for commercial queries. These indicate a willingness to complete a transaction: buy, order, pay, or receive via delivery.
Informational.
Used to search for useful information, so they should appear in blog posts. Examples: “what is a Retina display”, “how to transfer data to a new phone”.
Navigational.
Users typically use these to find a specific website. They often include a brand name. They are used to promote a website—the official representative of a brand or the manufacturer of a popular product.
Multimedia.
These are queries where users search for photos, videos, or audio. Examples: “photos of the new iPhone”, “video review of the new Samsung”.
Fuzzy.
These may be words with ambiguous meanings or typos. They are sometimes used to expand the semantic scope.
What Results Can You Expect from a Semantic Analysis Service
Selecting keywords is like laying the foundation of a house. It’s not a task that yields immediate results. But all subsequent actions depend on it. Based on semantics, we develop the right promotion strategy. We use keywords for writing content, buying backlinks, creating meta tags, and managing the blog. Every month, we revisit the keyword list from the semantics file, update it with new data, and adjust the promotion strategy as needed.
Benefits of a Proper Semantic Core for a Website
