Keyword Research

Keyword research is the foundational SEO process of discovering, analyzing, and selecting search terms that your target audience uses when looking for information, products, or services. Effective keyword research involves: identifying seed keywords related to your business, expanding those seeds using keyword research tools, analyzing search volume, difficulty, CPC, and intent for each keyword, grouping keywords by topic and intent, and prioritizing keywords based on business value and ranking potential. Modern keyword research goes beyond individual keywords to focus on topics and search intent. A comprehensive keyword research process also includes analyzing competitor keywords, identifying content gaps, and understanding seasonal trends.
