We collect the queries people buy with and the queries they research with, group them by intent and turn them into a page map. You see which sections to create, which to strengthen and where to start so the most valuable demand pays back first.
A keyword core is a page map, not a keyword export
Any tool can export ten thousand queries. The value of a core is elsewhere: every cluster is tied to one page, so it is clear which page to create, which to strengthen and which pages already compete with each other for the same query.
We group by meaning and intent, check borderline groups against live Google results and set priorities by demand, competition and cost per click. You start with what pays back first.
Our measurement
Where the queries of sites with our keyword cores rank today
22,548
queries in Google's top 10 across three sites we built cores for
41%
of all Sunshouse queries sit in the top 10
×17
organic growth for a family clinic in a year
A keyword core is tested years after delivery, not on the day it is handed over: does the site still hold the queries it was built for? We took three projects we built cores for — a jacket manufacturer, an equipment store and a family medicine clinic — and checked where their queries rank in Google today.
Where the queries of sites we built keyword cores for rank today
Number of Google Ukraine queries by position, top 100. Hover a segment for the number; the name opens the case.
Source: SE Ranking, Ukraine database, October 2026. These are the tool’s estimates, not Search Console data: it does not see every query, but it counts every site the same way.
Together the three sites hold 22,548 queries in the top 10. At Sunshouse, where categories were built as «season + style + length» micro-clusters, 41% of all queries sit in the top 10 and the largest group is positions 1–5. The clinic has more queries below the top 20: a long tail of symptoms and conditions crowded with medical portals. Even so, the core built around services, conditions and symptoms gave it ×17 organic growth in a year.
A small core you can build yourself: the keyword generator suggests queries with volume and difficulty, and the free website audit shows what Google already sees.
What is included
Four layers of a keyword core
Commercial and informational demand
We collect the queries people buy with and the queries they research with. The first lead to service and category pages, the second to the blog and FAQ.
Clusters by intent and page type
We group by meaning and intent, not by shared words: one cluster, one landing page. Borderline groups are checked against the live Google results.
Priorities by demand and competition
For every cluster we look at volume, difficulty, and cost per click, so you start with what pays back first.
Site structure and content plan
The core becomes a map: which sections and pages to create, which to strengthen, which topics belong in the blog.

As a standalone service, from $350 for a landing page, $550 for a services site and $800 for a catalogue or store. We confirm the price after a short call: a lot depends on the niche and the number of languages. Within our SEO packages the core is included at a discount.
If we hire you for SEO, is the core billed separately?
No. In SEO work, keyword research is part of the initial setup, together with the audit and structure, and it is spread within the monthly budget.
Can we build the core ourselves?
For a small site, absolutely. We offer a free keyword generator and keyword grouping tool. Paid work makes sense when there are thousands of queries, several markets, and a structural mistake would cost more than the work itself.
What do you need from us?
A list of priority services or categories, target markets and languages, the competitors you consider most important, and read access to Search Console if the site is already live.
Does a semantic core guarantee traffic?
No. It shows what demand exists and which pages should capture it. Traffic comes once those pages are built and can hold their own against competitors.
