Phase 2: Picking Tools for the research
Phase 3: starting the research
Phase 4: Making a list of the keywords
Phase 5: Think like a customer
Phase 6: Sending it to your client
Phase 7: Finishing and moving further
Awareness with the industry
It’s very necessary for a successful keyword research to aware first with the industry and the products/services your company offer. Have a cup of coffee and get started to know what and where you offer. Ask what your client wants for his business and what he has to offer to their customers online. Once he disclosed it to you, encourage him and go a head for the research.
Tools for the research
“Which Keyword’s research tool will I use?” a question asked often. Well, I personally use free word tracker and google adwords tool for years now, and have been getting very best result with the research. There are some other tools which aren’t bad though, e.g. keyworddiscovery etc. but I would recommend the google adwords tool, which shows the search volume in figures as well nowadays and shows a huge data for the relevant keywords.
Starting the research with tools
Before searching a term, make sure to take a very close look of the page you are doing keyword research for. Look what the page actually offer and where. Then search the primary keyword and the tool let you give the relevant keywords to the term. Do various searches with different primary keywords on both tools and note them.
Making a list for the keywords
Make a list of the keywords you feel will be worthy and helpful for you with its search volume for both figures given by wordtracker and google adwords tool. Keep the keywords separated e.g. if you offer consumer electronics, make a section for keywords related to corded phones, cordless phones, computer accessories etc.
Think like a customer
Think like a customer, if you had to buy the same products what would you search? And as add such keywords in the list.
Sending it to your client
Check thrice the list and send that to your client to make sure you haven’t missed any keyword.
Finishing and moving further
Once you got the final list from your client, finalize it and move further to your on page optimization according to the targeted keywords, e.g. start creating quality and unique content, meta tags, use the important keywords in Headings, bold etc ….. and as start your off page optimization according to the research.
I hope it will be enough for you; it was just a simple process of a successful keyword research. If you want to know in deep regarding the research, please feel free to contact SEO Zahir Shah at seo-zahir@hotmail.com or by making a call to 0307-2333907
