Why Are Key Words So Important?
This blog post is a critical investment of time for any business owner to read through and understand what makes a good ad campaign great. Great ad campaigns start with deep diving into research and developing keywords that will strategically work for your campaign, that in end will create thousands of impressions and keep your click through rate low so you can target more clients and get better conversions that will lead to more sales throughout your Ad campaign.
The way we like to explain it is, if nobody is searching for what you’re writing about, you won’t get traffic from Google—no matter how hard you try. Keyword research is the process of understanding the language your target customers use when searching for your products, services, and content. Keywords are the foundation of SEO.
An example of a keyword
Keywords are the words and phrases that people type into search engines to find what they’re looking for. For example, if you were looking to buy a new jacket, you might type something like “men’s leather jacket” into Google. Even though that phrase consists of more than one word, it’s still a keyword.
Selecting a good keyword
Seems simple right, unfortunately without using proper data and research it can leads to poor results or not work at all. Your target keywords need to meet four criteria — significant search volume, high relevance, strong conversion value, and reasonable competition. If any of these are missing, your SEO is likely to fizzle.
Getting strategic with search volume
Now that you’ve discovered relevant search terms for your site and their corresponding search volumes, you can get even more strategic by looking at your competitors and figuring out how searches might differ by season or location.
