Practical tasks
One assignment per module — the part that turns theory into rankings.
Practical task · Foundations of Keyword Data
Choose three relevant queries. Record the market, source/date and available volume, KD and CPC; leave missing metrics unavailable. Inspect current results, note the audience task and propose a target URL.
Practical task · Discovery and Expansion
Use a relevant seed, public question sources and available search evidence to prepare a reviewed candidate list. Record sources and missing data, group related needs and propose useful target pages without a fixed keyword quota.
Practical task · Timing and Structure
Prepare a seasonal review note and useful page map in a worksheet or project plan. Record Trends context, audience tasks and existing destinations; use RankTracker only for supported selected-query checks.
Practical task · Prioritisation and Scale
Prepare an evidence-based six-month plan with owners, effort and market-specific research notes. Keep optional prioritisation scores in the worksheet or project plan, not unsupported monitoring fields.
Practical task · Operating RankTracker
Verify the selected project, query/page mappings and supported monitoring settings, then complete the capstone research deliverable without inventing missing metrics.
