Symptoms
Difficulty in finding relevant keywords, inability to analyze competitor SEO strategies, and uncertainty regarding keyword integration on webpages are common challenges users face.

<head>section to find meta tags such as<meta name="keywords">and the<title>tag that contain primary keywords. - Review header tags (H1, H2, etc.) to identify important keywords structuring the content.
- Use the search function within Inspect Element (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F) to quickly find specific keywords across the HTML code.
- Analyze the content for keyword density, variations, and context, including alt attributes in images.
- Repeat the process on competitor websites to spot keyword patterns and opportunities for your strategy.
