Obvious SEO Keywords, Sitemap Pages & AI Referrals

Non-brand terms are traffic anyone can compete for; higher CPC means higher commercial value.

|---|---|---|---|
| flatfileBrand | 460 | $2.81 | 1 |
| what is a csv fileNon-brand | 380 | $1.60 | 2 |

| csv fileNon-brand | 210 | $1.43 | 4 |

Borrow: Most of its search traffic comes from non-brand terms (e.g. “what is a csv file”, “csv”). Find the needs your product also serves and capture them with tool or landing pages.
