Topic Finder results are too broad or empty

How to phrase a keyword so Topic Finder finds questions your buyers actually ask.

Troubleshooting 1 min readUpdated 2026-10-20

Topic Finder works best with a keyword that names a product, a problem or a buyer. A single broad word, such as marketing or software, gives questions that are too general to write about.

Make the keyword specific

Too broad Better
compressed air compressed air quality for pharmaceutical plants
AI writing fact-checking AI-written blog posts
CRM CRM for small manufacturing companies

Add one of these to a broad word:

  • Who it is for: for dental clinics, for small manufacturers
  • What problem: cost, compliance, how to choose
  • Where: a country or region, when rules or prices differ

Pick the right ICP

Select the ICP closest to the reader. Topic Finder aims its questions at that buyer. See Create an Ideal Customer Profile.

Still nothing useful
