SEO without keywords is guesswork. Keywords without context is spam. LeafPad's Keywords section is where you tell the AI exactly which terms your business needs to rank for — and it uses that intelligence in every post it generates.
What the Keywords Section Does
Under Business → Keywords you maintain a list of target keywords and topic clusters that matter to your business. These aren't just tags — they're signals that LeafPad reads when deciding what angle to take on a generated blog post.
Primary keywords — the high-value terms you want to rank for
Long-tail variations — more specific phrases that are easier to rank with less competition
Topic clusters — groups of related keywords that build topical authority together
Why AI Blogs Without Keyword Strategy Fail at SEO
A blog post that reads well but targets no specific keyword is organic traffic that will never arrive. Generic AI tools write about broad topics because they have no idea what search queries your potential customers are actually typing.
When you seed LeafPad with your target keywords, it builds posts that are naturally aligned with those search terms — without stuffing them awkwardly. The keyword becomes part of the post's premise, not an afterthought bolted on at the end.
Topical Authority: Win the Long Game
Google doesn't just rank pages — it ranks websites based on whether they're an authority on a topic. If you publish thirty posts that all circle the same keyword cluster, Google learns that your site knows this subject deeply. That's topical authority, and it compounds over time.
LeafPad uses your keyword list to ensure that generated posts spread across your target topics systematically — rather than randomly jumping between unrelated subjects. The result is a blog that search engines recognise as a specialist resource, not a content farm.
Your Keywords, Not Generic Industry Terms
This is the key difference. LeafPad doesn't guess at popular industry terms from a generic database. You supply the exact keywords that match your product, your niche, and your customers' language. A niche tool for indie game developers has completely different keywords than a general game development platform — and LeafPad will treat them completely differently because you told it which ones apply to you.
Set It Up
Go to Business → Keywords and list the terms you already know matter to your business. If you're starting fresh, think about what a potential customer would type into Google to find you. Add those. Then add the adjacent topics that surround them. LeafPad will build a content strategy around that list automatically.
