As someone working in B2B SEO, I understand the difficulty associated with long-tail traffic capture. Your boss may ask that you target every combination of product terms to capture as much long-tail traffic as possible.
So let’s say you operate in the “Custom Packaging” industry; to capture high-intent leads effectively, you need to rank for specific variations such as these:
- Custom Packaging Manufacturer
- Custom Packaging Supplier
- Eco-friendly Custom Packaging
- Custom Packaging for Cosmetics
- Luxury Rigid Boxes Wholesale
…Combine them with 50 industries (for food or jewelry) or locations.
Traditional SEOs relied on complex Excel formulas like =CONCATENATE(A1, “”, B1) to merge lists together – an approach which was slow, susceptible to formatting errors and frankly quite painful.
Today, I’ll show you how to automate this process using a free Keyword Mixer tool.
What is Keyword Mixing? (The Logic)
Keyword Merging (or Merging) utilizes Cartesian Product logic. It takes multiple lists of words and creates every possible permutation between them.
Programmatic SEO (pSEO) builds upon this principle by recognizing patterns in user search intent to generate topics automatically and programatically.
Step-by-Step: How to Generate B2B Keywords
Here is how you can do it without opening Excel. We will use the free Keyword Mixer tool.
Step 1: Identify Your Seed Keywords
Break your target intent into three columns. For a packaging company, it might look like this:
Column A (Modifier/Intent):
Eco-friendly
Luxury
Branded
Cheap
Recyclable
Column B (Product Root):
Custom Packaging
Mailer Boxes
Rigid Boxes
Paper Bags
Column C (Entity/Suffix):
Manufacturer
Supplier
Wholesale
Factory in China
for Small Business
Step 2: Input Data
Open the Keyword Mixer. Paste your lists into Column A, B, and C respectively.
Step 3: Click “Generate”
Instantly, the tool will produce a clean list of combined keywords (e.g., “Eco-friendly Mailer Boxes Manufacturer”, “Luxury Rigid Boxes for Small Business”).
Step 4: It’s ready!
Click the “Copy ALL” button. Now you have a clean dataset ready to upload to Ahrefs/SEMrush for volume checking or to your CMS for page creation.
Why Not Just Use Excel?
Speed: Browser-based tools are instant and don’t crash under heavy lists.
Privacy: Since this tool runs locally on your browser (with LocalStorage enabled), any sensitive client data never leaves the device.
Formatting: No longer do you have to deal with messy Excel cells and formula errors when formatting spreadsheets.
Conclusion
SEO is all about strategy, not data entry. By automating keyword combination processes, you save hours of manual labor and can focus on creating better content instead.
