      Abstract
      Pertumbuhan pengguna internet di Indonesia mendorong media online memanfaatkan Search Engine Optimization (SEO) berbasis data tren pencarian dari Google Trends agar kontennya mudah ditemukan di mesin pencari. Isu yang sedang tren tidak selalu memberikan manfaat signifikan bagi audiens apabila tidak dikurasi dengan baik, bahkan berpotensi mengalihkan perhatian masyarakat dari isu yang lebih penting. Penelitian terdahulu telah membahas aspek teknis SEO seperti kata kunci, meta deskripsi, dan penerapan SEO on page dan off page, namun belum mengkaji secara mendetail bagaimana data tren pencarian dari Google Trends dimanfaatkan dalam proses seleksi isu di ruang redaksi. Berdasarkan kesenjangan tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan representasi tren populer dalam konten SEO di Akurat.co, penggunaan Google Trends sebagai dasar pemilihan isu, serta strategi optimasi SEO melalui kata kunci, judul artikel, dan meta deskripsi dalam merepresentasikan tren tersebut. Penelitian ini memakai metode campuran (mixed methods) dengan desain explanatory sequential, yaitu tahap pengumpulan data kuantitatif dilakukan lebih dahulu, kemudian diperdalam melalui data kualitatif pada tahap berikutnya. Penelitian dilaksanakan di PT Akurat Sentra Media pada Februari sampai Mei 2026, dengan fokus pada praktik pemanfaatan SEO dan Google Trends di ruang redaksi. Data utama diambil dengan dua cara. Pertama, wawancara terstruktur dengan Pemimpin Redaksi dan Redaktur Pelaksana SEO, yang bertujuan untuk menggali kebijakan redaksi dalam menentukan isu serta cara Google Trends dipakai dalam proses tersebut. Kedua, data performa konten dari Google Analytics pada sepuluh artikel dengan pageviews tertinggi selama periode penelitian, yang mencakup informasi seperti judul, meta deskripsi, struktur H2, dan angle penyajian dari masing-masing artikel. Data performa tersebut selanjutnya dianalisis memakai teknik rescaling score, sehingga pola-pola di balik angka pageviews dapat terlihat dan dibandingkan secara lebih terstruktur antarartikel. Hasil menunjukkan keseragaman pola pada judul (H1), meta deskripsi, struktur H2, dan angle penyajian, dengan tujuh artikel mengemas isu negatif menjadi angle solutif, edukatif, informatif, atau preventif; artikel "BBM Non Subsidi" mencatat performa tertinggi (401 pageviews) dari total 2.680 pageviews pada Mei 2026. Google Trends terbukti berfungsi sebagai instrumen awal gatekeeping, bukan penentu tunggal kelayakan isu, yang pada setiap level dikombinasikan dengan sense jurnalistik, pemantauan media sosial, Kode Etik Jurnalistik, kontrol editorial, dan perubahan algoritma Google; sementara strategi optimasi SEO berperan ganda sebagai framing devices dan reasoning devices, menunjukkan representasi tren populer di Akurat.co terbentuk dari pertimbangan algoritma mesin pencari, nilai jurnalistik, dan kebutuhan informasi audiens.
       
      The growth of internet users in Indonesia has encouraged online media to utilize Search Engine Optimization (SEO) based on search trend data from Google Trends in order to make their content more discoverable through search engines. Trending issues do not always provide significant benefit to audiences if they are not properly curated, and may even divert public attention from more important issues. Previous research has addressed the technical aspects of SEO, such as keywords, meta descriptions, and the implementation of on-page and off-page SEO, but has not yet examined in detail how search trend data from Google Trends is utilized in the process of issue selection within the newsroom. Based on this gap, this study aims to describe the representation of popular trends in SEO content at Akurat.co, the use of Google Trends as a basis for issue selection, and SEO optimization strategies through keywords, article titles, and meta descriptions in representing these trends. This study employs a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design, in which the quantitative data collection stage is conducted first, followed by a deeper qualitative stage. The research was conducted at PT Akurat Sentra Media from February to May 2026, focusing on the practice of utilizing SEO and Google Trends in the newsroom. Primary data were collected through two methods. First, structured interviews with the Editor-in-Chief and the SEO Managing Editor, aimed at exploring editorial policies in determining issues and how Google Trends is used in this process. Second, content performance data from Google Analytics on the ten articles with the highest pageviews during the research period, including information such as titles, meta descriptions, H2 structures, and presentation angles of each article. This performance data was then analyzed using a rescaling score technique, allowing the patterns behind pageview figures to be identified and compared more systematically across articles. The results indicate a consistent pattern in titles (H1), meta descriptions, H2 structures, and presentation angles, with seven articles reframing negative issues into solution-oriented, educational, informative, or preventive angles; the article "Non-Subsidized Fuel" (BBM Non Subsidi) recorded the highest performance (401 pageviews) out of a total of 2,680 pageviews in May 2026. Google Trends was found to function as an initial gatekeeping instrument rather than the sole determinant of issue viability, being combined at every level with journalistic sense, social media monitoring, the Journalistic Code of Ethics, editorial control, and changes in Google's algorithm. Meanwhile, SEO optimization strategies serve a dual role as both framing devices and reasoning devices, indicating that the representation of popular trends at Akurat.co is shaped by considerations of search engine algorithms, journalistic values, and audience information needs.
