Choose the next keywords to target, for a new website from the owner's intake, or for an existing website from measured search demand. Sets a primary and alternate keywords, validates them with RankMySEO or Search Console, checks relevance to the business, and classifies each as money, tool, hub, or informational. Use before a plan is written for a new site, or when the owner asks what to target next on an existing one.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Keyword selection

Goal: a short list of keywords, each with one owner page type, one reason, and a validation status. Keywords become tracked only after the owner's yes.

Acceptance: the owner can read the list and say which page answers each keyword, and why that keyword fits the business.

Use the evidence that exists. For a new site, the evidence is the owner's words and the research tools. For an existing site, the evidence is what people already search for.

## Path A: new website (no search data yet)

1. **Start from the intake.** Use the product, the place, the goal, the competitor, and the customers' own words. This gives a hypothesis, not data. Say so in the plan.
2. **Choose a primary keyword.** It is the phrase a buyer or reader would type for this product in this place. Choose by fit with the business, not by how large it sounds.
3. **Add alternates.** Three to five other phrasings: synonyms, category names, question forms, and the competitor's name when a buyer compares.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rankmyseo/skills/seo-keyword-selection@sha256:e825a8ce1d3eb9ab

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.2898bec, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
