Research Video SEO Keywords
Use this when you need to generate a tailored list of high-impact keywords for video content to improve search visibility.

Context you provide
- {{video_topic}}: The main subject of the video.
- {{industry_niche}}: The specific industry or niche.
- {{target_audience}}: Who the video is intended for.
- {{keyword_type}}: The type of keywords needed (e.g., short-tail, long-tail, trending).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.

- For each keyword, provide an estimate of search volume (low, medium, high) and competition (low, medium, high) based on general knowledge.
- Include a mix of short-tail and long-tail keywords, and note the user intent for each (informational, transactional, etc.).

Output format Present the keywords in a table with columns: Keyword, Search Volume, Competition, User Intent, and Suggested Usage. Add a brief summary of the top 5 recommended keywords.
