Improving Business Growth With SEO Keywords and Phrases

If you aren’t benefiting from targeted search engine optimization (SEO) as part of a comprehensive online marketing campaign, you are likely losing customers to competitors who are. If you are familiar with SEO, you have probably heard the term “keyword” and understand that keywords are a critical part of any good SEO strategy. But no matter how much you know about SEO, you likely have questions about keywords and their role in driving consumers to your business. Let’s begin at the beginning with a couple of basic definitions. 

Defining Keywords and Phrases

Keywords and keyword phrases are terms that define your business as well as its products and services. Thorough SEO campaigns will also want to include keywords, important ideas and topics that are valuable to your target consumer base and central to the industries in which you operate. 

When choosing keywords, marketing experts anticipate the words and phrases that internet users will enter into the search bars of Google and other leading online search engine platforms. These words will vary widely from business to business. For example, the relevant keywords for a New Jersey plumbing contractor will differ considerably from the relevant keywords for a Silicon Valley software developer.

Why Are Keywords Important?

By choosing the right affiliated website domains and strategically populating your online content with the right keywords and keyword phrases, you can dramatically improve the placement of your company website on the lists returned by leading search engines such as Google. 

Placement at or near the top of the search engine results page (SERP) is essential to online marketing success. Few consumers will read past the first few entries on any SERP, and fewer still will click through to additional pages. However, a good SEO campaign can harness the power of keywords to dramatically boost your search engine visibility and reach consumers when they are highly motivated to buy.
