Introduction

To rank on Google, the first and most important step is doing proper keyword research and understanding the SERP. Keyword research helps you discover what people are actually typing into Google, while SERP analysis shows how Google is presenting those results — whether it is blogs, list articles, product pages, or featured snippets.

With the Lexi AI Agent inside the Writecream SEO Editor, this entire process becomes easy and structured. Instead of manually checking multiple tools and websites, Lexi AI scans the top-ranking pages, studies competitor strategies, and identifies the content patterns that perform well. It highlights which keywords are being used, how topics are structured, and what type of content Google prefers for your selected keyword.

This allows you to stop guessing and start creating content based on real data. By following Lexi AI’s insights, you can write articles that match user intent, satisfy search engine requirements, and have a much better chance of ranking higher in search results.

Step 4: How Lexi AI Studies the SERP

Once you start the research, Lexi AI begins analyzing the Google search results. This process usually takes around 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the competition level of your keyword.

Behind the scenes, Lexi AI does the following:

  • Scans the top-ranking pages on Google
  • Studies the competitor content structure and layout
  • Identifies common headings, topics, and keyword usage
  • Checks what type of content is currently ranking
  • Finds optimization and content gaps

You will see a progress indicator while this analysis is running. During this time, you do not need to take any action — Lexi AI manages everything automatically.

This step is very important because all the next stages, including content writing and optimization, are based on this research. It ensures that your content is created using real, well-researched data instead of guesswork.

Step 5: Check Your Analysis Results

Once the analysis is complete, Lexi AI provides you with a clear overview of the keyword and SERP landscape.

At this stage, you will be able to see:
