Professional Keyword Research Services

Welcome to the wonderful world of keywords

Why is keyword research so important? Well, if you want your website to be found in the search engines (especially Google), your written descriptions need to incorporate the same search terms (keywords or phrases) that people use in a search.

Doesn't everybody just naturally include the correct keywords when they write their Web copy?

Unfortunately, no. There's a problem with American English: Many terms mean more than one thing. And many things have more than one term to describe it. It's very confusing for those learning our language, I'm sure!

For example, look at the word "term" itself. I'm using it to mean "word or  phrase" but it can also mean a period of time -or- conditions or stipulations. In fact there are 18 definitions in all, according to Dictionary.com.




What is SEO, anyway? I agree with SEO veteran Danny Sullivan's take:

An SEO is someone who understands how people search for information (on the web and in other ways) and ensures that they or their clients are visible in the unpaid listings that are provided. A search marketer, by the way, is someone that ensures listing in both paid and unpaid listings.

By Danny's definition, this is the type of search marketer I am. And that's why what I care about is:

what correct keywords can do for your website...

  • Enable your site to be found in search engines by your target market
  • Show your potential customers you have EXACTLY what they want
  • Speak to your target audience in terms they know and understand, and
  • Educate and inform to help your visitors learn better search terms.
