How to use the Semrush related keyphrases feature in Yoast SEO for WordPress

To start using the Semrush feature in Yoast SEO for WordPress, follow the steps below.

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard

2. Go to the editor for your Posts, Pages, or other content

   You will connect your accounts, enabling the integration.

6. In the Related keyphrases menu, choose your country and language

   In the dropdown menu, over 100 countries and languages are available. Select a suitable one and click Select country to show the results.

7. Check if the Intent, Volume, Trend and Difficulty match your needs

   These metrics show what searchers are looking for; how often they searched for it in the past month; what the trend was in the past year; and how easy or difficult the keyword is to rank for. You can find an explanation in our Related keyphrases: metrics explanation article.
