Keyword Research

SEO keyword research lies at the heart of content marketing. It’s crucial in understanding what your customers’ needs and queries are.

Trying to answer these queries will guide every piece of content you touch, helping you to reach new audiences who are interested in your brand’s products or services in the process.

Enter keyword research

Keyword research is an important pre-emptive step which you need to carry out before you optimise your website and its content. Without keyword research, it is difficult to figure out what key phrases to optimise your articles and pages for.

SEO keyword research also helps you to find and forge connections with a wider audience. If users search for X, and you offer relevant content about topic X, they’ll be more likely to find you. Better still, they’ll be more inclined to engage with your website.

After all, how are you ever going to meet new people and form connections if you’re not on the same page?

Carrying out proper keyword research can yield a huge return and its an important factor of any successful SEO strategy. By ranking for the right keywords, you can increase website traffic and conversion rates.

Keyword research is fundamental for your business to grow online

Keyword research is a detailed process, which includes:

Researching your niche and creating a list of keywords that describe your business and the products or services you offer
Analysing your website’s content and your industry in general to see which keywords are relevant to your niche
Categorising keywords into short and long-tail search terms
Finding the intent of your potential customers from the keywords they’re using
Determining the value of your keywords and which ones you should prioritise
Conducting a thorough competition analysis to see which words are already ranking, and how much of challenge ranking for your valuable keywords will be
Creating a content plan based around your keywords which fulfils the searcher’s query and intent

It’s important to remember that although keyword research is hugely important, it is only one part of the SEO process.

Once you have created a plan, the way you incorporate keywords into your content, along with the technical aspects of SEO will be vital to your website’s ranking success.
