What search criteria do people use when they are looking for the products and services that you provide? The research shows a great variety in most markets, and understanding the variances can improve your search marketing campaign.
Finding Appropriate Keywords
Most clients come to us with assumptions about the keywords people are going to use to find them. And, most of the time they're wrong. We tend to know our own businesses too well to be clear and objective when thinking how people will look for us. Researching the data supplied by the search engines regarding the actual terms used - and their frequency of use - is the only way to build on a solid footing.
The Hidden Messages in Variety
Not everyone who searches is looking to "buy now". Marketing in the real world accounts for introducing a product, providing information about a product, comparing similar products, how to find, test, evaluate and buy a product and more. These various stages of interest in a product are revealed in our product and service specific keyword research. It represents an opportunity for the savvy search engine marketer to guide prospective customers to the information they want - and helps to build a relationship with prospective customers throughout the buying cycle.
How That Variety Can Guide Your Development
One of the principal SEO factors is the raw amount of content on a web site. Clients often tell us they think they have X to Z number of pages to put online, and can't imagine where they'll come up with content for dozens of additional pages. Of course, the additional pages they need make perfect sense when their search marketing campaign begins to account for people across the entire buying cycle.
