Utilizing K-Means Clustering to Understanding Audience Interest in SEO-Optimized Media Content
Abstract
This study observes k-means clustering for segmenting SEO data to understand audience interests, identifying the elbow method as crucial for determining the optimal number of clusters. It highlights notable differences in content engagement across clusters, emphasizing the need for refined SEO strategies and a deeper understanding of audience segmentation. Despite challenges like SEO's dynamic nature and data reliance, this methodology provides a strong foundation for enhancing content strategies. Future research suggestions include cross-platform data integration, longitudinal studies, sentiment analysis, content experimentation, user experience (UX) focus, and monitoring algorithm updates to develop more adaptive content and SEO strategies aligned with changing audience behaviors.
