Business owners tend to get drawn towards trying to rank for the broad, general keywords in their industry that get the highest number of searches.
–
This inevitably ends in disappointment as they don’t end up reaching the 1st page for the keywords and the visitors that they do manage to get are at the browsing stage of the buying cycle rather than the buying stage.
•
Rather than targeting a couple of generic keywords, a better approach is to target multiple, specific keyword phrases.
–
Research has shown that more than 40% of all searches done online are comprised of four or more words.
–
Therefore, not only is it quicker and cheaper to rank for longer, specific keyword phrases, but you can still get lots of visitors to your website by doing so.
5. How To Understand Keywords
To understand keywords
One must understand keyword searches and how they work
6. What is a Keyword Search
A keyword search (KWS) is a single search word or group of words (phrase) that we type into a search engine website (Google, Bing, Yahoo) to get information we want Forms of content could include (but are not limited to) Web pages Videos Images
8. Visual: How It Works
The Flowers represent YOUR content on the internet – it’s hard to find and stand out
The BEE is from the HIVE The BEE finds your FLOWER amidst all the other FLOWERS The BEE goes back to the HIVE to tell others BEEs where YOUR flower is located
The HIVE is GOOGLE
The HIVE is full of other BEEs looking for NEW NECTAR
Other BEEs are public end users
9. How are those bee’s going to find YOUR new flower patch full of yummy and delicious flowers ?
11. Understanding Keywords Searches
Broad Searches are ok
–
The more broad the search, the less likely the chance for immediate to short term lead conversion (90 days or more)
More Narrow (focused/specific) are better
– The higher the chance for immediate to short term lead conversion (0 – 90 days)
