- Identify a popular forum in your niche.

- Utilize tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush to explore organic keywords.

- Filter SERP positions to #10 and focus on keywords starting with “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” or “how.”

- Tailor your chosen question-based keywords for forum optimization, considering that forums may not be SEO-optimized.

- Check the keyword difficulty (KD) and craft relevant articles for promotion.

Keyword difficulty helps narrow the list, but it doesn’t show whether a forum thread fits the search results. Search each candidate query and check whether forum threads already rank. Prioritize question-based keywords relevant to your forum niche when a thread can satisfy the search intent; use difficulty as a secondary filter.
