What we do
Keyword Research
Keyword research works by conducting research that has the goal of understanding the language and in particular the ‘search terms’ used by your target audience. As such it involves a process of scouring the web and using keyword research tools to find keywords that searchers are frequently using when searching for information around a certain topic.
Once you’ve compiled a list of popular and relevant keywords around the topic,
The next step is to strategically include these keywords in your content so that these search terms are picked up by search engines when your website is crawled. If your keywords match what the searcher is looking for you have a good chance of appearing higher up the search results, boosting your website ranking.
Keyword research still holds significant importance in SEO and digital marketing as a whole, because it is a process that allows you to figure out what people are searching for and match your content accordingly.
