Keyword Validation: Get Your SEO Keyword List Approved by the Client
Drop it into your AI assistant, hand over a keyword list, and get back a shareable page where the client approves the keywords before you build anything.
It turns a raw SEO keyword list into a clean, shareable web page where your client can approve, reject, comment on, and suggest keywords, then hands you back the approved list ready for your content plan.
Any AI assistant that reads a SKILL.md file (Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex). No separate app, no subscription, and no API key: you drop the skill in and run it.
Works with
Keyword validation is the missing step between keyword research and content production: the moment where the client actually signs off on the terms you plan to target. This skill takes the SEO keyword list you already have (from your own keyword research tool, spreadsheet, or research service) and turns it into a simple, branded approval page. Your client sees the keywords grouped by category, then approves, rejects with a reason, leaves a note, or suggests terms you missed, all in one place instead of scattered across email and chat. When they are done, you get a clean approved keyword list ready to feed straight into your SEO plan, page structure, or editorial calendar. No app to log into, no subscription, no API key: it runs inside the AI assistant you already use.
- Stop guessing which keywords the client actually wants: get explicit approval before you invest hours writing pages
- Replace messy email and chat threads with one shareable link where every decision is captured
- Collect rejections with a reason, per-keyword notes, and client-suggested terms you would have missed
- Walk away with a clean, copy-ready approved keyword list you can drop into any SEO or content plan
- Keep keywords in the client's target language while presenting them in a clear, easy-to-scan layout
- Look organized and consultative: the client sees progress (approved, rejected, pending) at a glance
- 1Drop the skill into your AI assistant
Add the SKILL.md file to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Nothing to install and no account to create: the assistant reads the skill and knows how to run the validation flow.
- 2Hand it your keyword list
Give it the keywords you want the client to review, ideally grouped into categories (core terms, service terms, local or city terms, competitor terms, or a monitor-only bucket for sensitive terms). If you do not have them grouped, it helps you organize them first.
- 3It builds the approval page
The skill generates a clean, client-facing page: your brand color and logo, a progress bar (approved, rejected, pending), collapsible categories with plain-language hints, and per-keyword controls to approve, reject, or add a note, plus search and filters.
- 4It asks before anything it needs
If it is missing the brand color, a logo, category labels, or where to host the page, it asks you first. It never sends the link to the client on its own: it shows you the message and waits for your go-ahead.
- 5The client reviews and decides
Your client opens one link and works through the list: approve the good ones, reject with a reason, leave observations, and suggest terms you missed. Everything saves live, so you can watch decisions come in without a back-and-forth.
- 6You get the approved list back
When the client is done, the skill pulls the results into an admin view: the approved keywords ready to copy, the rejected ones with reasons, plus notes and suggestions. Paste the approved set straight into your SEO plan, page map, or content calendar.
- A branded, client-facing keyword approval page (approve, reject, comment, suggest)
- Keywords organized into clear categories with plain-language hints
- A live progress view: approved, rejected, and pending counts
- A copy-ready approved keyword list for your SEO or content plan
- A record of rejections with reasons, per-keyword notes, and client suggestions
- A shareable link you control (nothing is sent to the client without your approval)
Local and multi-city SEO
Group keywords by city, neighborhood, or service area so the client can approve exactly which local terms matter, ideal for service businesses targeting several regions.
Monitor-only bucket for sensitive terms
Flag a category as monitor-only (for regulated or competitor terms you want to track but not target), so the client sees them clearly labeled without approving them as build targets.
Multi-client, target-language keywords
Run separate validation pages for different clients, keeping each keyword in its target language (for example English for a US market) while the review layout stays clean and consistent.

What is the Keyword Validation skill?
It is a SKILL.md file you add to your AI assistant. It takes your SEO keyword list and builds a page where your client can approve, reject, comment on, and suggest keywords, then gives you back the approved list. It is the sign-off step between keyword research and content production.
Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and Codex?
Yes. The skill is a plain SKILL.md file, so it works with any AI assistant that reads skills, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. There is no lock-in to one tool.
Do I need to install anything or pay for a subscription?
No. There is no separate app, no subscription, and no API key. You drop the skill into your assistant and run it. If it needs somewhere to host the approval page or a brand asset, it asks you first.
Does this do the keyword research too, or just the approval?
Its job is the validation and approval step: turning an existing keyword list into a client-ready page and returning the approved set. You bring the keywords from your own research (a keyword research tool, spreadsheet, or service), and this skill gets them signed off cleanly.
Can the client reject a keyword or suggest new ones?
Yes. Each keyword has approve, reject, and note controls, and there is a dedicated area for the client to suggest terms you missed. Rejections capture a reason, so you know exactly why a keyword was cut.
Do I need design or coding skills to use it?
No. You give it your list in plain text and answer a few questions. The skill handles building the page, the categories, and the approved-list output for you.
An AI skill is a small, reusable instruction file (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well. Keyword Validation is exactly that: a Claude skill / AI agent skill you drop into your own assistant and run on demand, with no app, no subscription and no lock-in. You own the file forever.
It runs in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any assistant that reads a SKILL.md or a system prompt. Because it is just text, it is fully portable, and if it needs something to run, keyword validation asks you for it first instead of inventing.
Creators reach for it as a podcast clips AI and an AI podcast clip generator, to turn a podcast into Shorts and to pull podcast highlights automatically, finding the best podcast moments without scrubbing the whole episode.
