3 min readMay 24, 2019

For those who don’t know what LSI Keywords are, The LSI Keywords (Latent Semantic Indexing) are keywords that are semantically related to the primary/focus keyword, but not necessarily a synonym.

LSI Keywords are simply, words that come into our content naturally which explains the context. For ex: ‘apple’ and ‘iTunes’ are LSI keywords, they share the same context and are frequently found together.

The Google Hummingbird algorithm update resulted in Google moving away from keyword density and focusing on the context of the whole search query or simply LSI Keywords (Latent Semantic Indexing).

Some methods/tools to easily find LSI Keywords are:

Google Search

It must be the easiest way of finding the LSI Keywords, just type in your keyword and search. The bold keywords are the LSI Keywords related to your keyword.
