What you need to see is to see your top keywords in the title of the content produced for you. In other words, articles, PRs, blog posts, etc should have your keywords in their titles.

This is another reason why your SEO service provider should give you transparent service explanation. In cases where textual web content is produced with SEO copywriting skill, you should remember to have a look at the body text of the content as well to make sure that the keyphrases are used in the key positions as selected. The key positions are the title tag, within the first paragraph, the last paragraph, and throughout the content body.

In articles, the resource box (author’s bio) and in press releases the boilerplate should have your keywords in them. Of course, in some PR websites, you can use your hyperlinked keywords throughout your body text a few times.
