A search engine optimization system is provided with an on-line social network system. The on-line social network system includes or is in communication with a search engine optimization (SEO) system that is configured to prioritize keywords (potential search terms) based on their respective predicted contribution to the ranking of JSERPs. The value of a job-related keyword is expressed as a priority score assigned to that keyword. The SEO system generates priority scores for different keywords, using a probabilistic model that takes into account a value expressing how likely the keyword is to be included in a search query as a search term and/or a value expressing how likely is a search that includes the keyword as a search term is to produce relevant results.
