What is Keyword Clustering and Why is it Important?

The term “Keyword Clustering” was first introduced in 2015 by Alexey Chekushin, a Russian SEO expert. It has only gained popularity since then.

Keyword clustering refers to the bunching of different but significantly relevant keywords

There are times when the user may search for a particular topic with many keywords, for example-

• “What can I go in the summer to spend my time with friends and family.”
• “What are the best places to visit with friends in summer.”
• “Most beautiful locations in summer.”
• “10 places to visit in 7 days this month of the year.”

All words can have their own different meaning but still mean the same for them. The precise words to be looked up about the same topics can be multiple, so there are many assumptions.
