Google Wonder Wheel

Have you heard of the Wonder Wheel? I just learned about it at a meeting this week although it has been out there available for a year.

If you are familiar with the Mind Map concept - the Google Wonder Wheel takes your key word phrase and then offers a series of others you might consider based on the Google search results.

It won't give you as much information (SEO competitors using the same phrases) but it will help you think through what readers are typing in when they think about your industry.

For step by step instructions, including screen prints (love those!) click on the how to use Wonder Wheel link.

The really cool thing is you can delve down into a key word phrase. So for example, I've written a social media policy manual and I want to know what phrases people are typing so I searched Social Media Policy.

It came back with six or seven responses. One of those was corporate social media policy and I clicked on that and it gave me even more choices. And so on . Keep clicking and you'll continue to see more phrases related to a particular search.

Give it a try.
