Abstract
A computer-implemented method for suggesting keywords as a search term of a content item includes receiving, from a content provider, information about the content item in a database of content items. The method further includes generating a set of seed keywords related to the content item, and expanding the set of seed keywords to a plurality of candidate keywords. The plurality of candidate keywords are then scored based, at least in part, on an engagement metric measuring a user engagement with the content item in response to being presented with results from a search query comprising the candidate keyword. A candidate keyword is then selected from the plurality of candidate keywords based on the scoring, and stored relationally to the content item to define an audience for a recommendation about the content item, providing a suggestion to the content provider.
