An interview for SEO Manager positio

Hello, Hope everyone is doing well!
A few days back I attended an interview for SEO Manager potion. They asked me a question which confuses me.

They gave me a website and asked me to do keyword research and take out strong competitors. I did what they asked. I gave them the list of keywords and Competitors. After that, They asked me to prove the keywords which I listed were right for their website. That is what confused me. I used tools to check the organic traffic and the potential keywords. I listed based on the terms they used on their website. But, they said it`s all wrong and wanted me to prove right? i apologize, if this is off the topic. But, I need your help. Help me with an answer. Thanks. Cheers:)

  • PIXLOGIX INFOTECH PVT. LTD.: Hello,
    Check their all web pages title & meta description and focus, which keyword used in their site metadata and in H1 tag and content also.
    Second thing, you can save the report from Ahref, Semrush and Moz open site explorer and show them and if not agree with you then understand they don`t have any knowledge about SEO.
    Thank You
