Solution Overview

Problem

Current methodologies lack efficiency and effectiveness in understanding and managing keywords for online marketing and advertising, as existing metrics do not provide sufficient guidance for keyword acquisition and allocation strategies.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system for managing keywords by generating candidate keywords, receiving attribute values and weights, determining scores, and processing keywords based on these scores to assess their effectiveness, allowing for informed resource allocation and decision-making.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple candidate keywords are generated and evaluated using multiple attributes and weights, then the precision of keyword effectiveness assessment is improved, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekeyword effectiveness assessment precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The keyword management system segments the assessment process into multiple independent attributes (e.g., relevance, search volume, competition level) that can be evaluated separately. Each attribute is scored independently and then aggregated using weights, allowing the system to maintain high measurement precision while managing complexity through modular evaluation components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by introducing multiple attributes and weights to transform the keyword assessment from a single metric to a multi-dimensional evaluation. This parameter expansion enables more precise measurement of keyword effectiveness while the weighted scoring mechanism provides a structured approach to managing the increased complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If comprehensive metrics and attribute values are collected for multiple candidate keywords, then the information completeness is improved, but the time and resources required for processing increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating and storing attribute values for candidate keywords before the actual effectiveness assessment. Metrics such as search volume, competition level, and relevance scores are gathered in advance and cached, reducing the time required during the actual evaluation process while maintaining complete information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where previously collected metric data and assessment results are stored and reused for future keyword evaluations. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain comprehensive information completeness while reducing redundant data collection and processing time for subsequent assessments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Methods, systems, and techniques for keyword management are described. Some embodiments provide a keyword management system (“KMS”) configured to determine the effectiveness of multiple candidate keywords. In some embodiments, the KMS generates multiple candidate keywords based on an initial keyword. The KMS may then determine an effectiveness score for each of the candidate keywords, based on marketing information about those keywords. Next, the KMS may process the candidate keywords according to the determined effectiveness scores. In some embodiments, processing the candidate keywords includes applying rules that conditionally perform actions with respect to the candidate keywords, such as modifying advertising expenditures, modifying content, or the like.
