Keyword Research FAQ
Get answers to common questions about keyword research services.
What is keyword research and why is it important for SEO?
Keyword research is the process of discovering and analyzing the search terms people use when looking for products, services, or information related to your business. It's crucial for SEO because it helps you understand your audience's language, identify content opportunities, and optimize your website to rank for terms that drive qualified traffic and conversions.
How do you determine which keywords to target?
We use a comprehensive approach that considers search volume, keyword difficulty, commercial intent, and business relevance. We analyze your competitors, assess your website's current authority, and prioritize keywords based on their potential to drive qualified traffic and conversions while considering the effort required to rank.
What's the difference between short-tail and long-tail keywords?
Short-tail keywords are broad, 1-2 word phrases with high search volume but intense competition (e.g., "SEO services"). Long-tail keywords are more specific, 3+ word phrases with lower search volume but higher conversion rates and lower competition (e.g., "affordable SEO services for small businesses in London").
How often should keyword research be updated?
Keyword research should be reviewed and updated regularly. We recommend comprehensive reviews every 6-12 months, with quarterly check-ins to identify new opportunities and trending keywords. Search behavior and competition evolve constantly, so staying current is essential for maintaining SEO success.
Can you help with local keyword research?
Absolutely! Local keyword research is one of our specialties. We identify location-specific terms, "near me" searches, and geo-modified keywords that help local businesses capture nearby customers. This includes research for Google My Business optimization and local search visibility.
How do you measure keyword research success?
Success is measured through multiple metrics including improved search rankings for target keywords, increased organic traffic, higher click-through rates, and ultimately, more conversions and business growth. We provide detailed reporting showing keyword performance and ROI from our research and optimization efforts.
