Keyword Research Process

Our Keyword Research Process
In order to select appropriate keywords, our keyword research process involves the following steps:

1. Based on the Industry specific keywords, the keywords provided by client in the questionnaire and popular keywords with competitors, we conduct an exhaustive keyword research.

We work on selecting keywords from two aspects: One - the client's recommendation of keywords and second (and mostly our main focus) - the actual search pattern.

Example: While carrying out Keyword research for a website selling speakers, we start with the most basic keyword, e.g. "speaker" or "audio" & extract lists of keywords (approx. 500 keywords for each main keyword we take up) that contain these terms. We then remove keywords which are not relevant to the website like “Professional Speaker for Entrepreneurship”.

2. In our next step, we select the most relevant keywords for the website which have good search volume (meaning the number of searches made for that keyword) and find out the competition for those keywords.

Then, based on client’s choice (whether they would be investing in Link popularity building or not), we select up to 100 most appropriate keywords for the website.

The 100 keywords are divided into the following five types of keywords:

•Long-Term Generic Keywords: Total of about 20 keywords (10 main keywords +10 plurals & other variations)

This would a list of searched for keywords that are very generic in nature but important for the business. All such keywords are very competitive and require support from link popularity for high rankings. You may or may not want to take link-building support for them, but they would be included in the optimization process. However, please don’t expect high rankings to be achieved for these keywords without link building support.

Example of such long-term generic keywords:
Speaker Selling Company: Speakers, Home theatre.
Website selling Health Products or medication: Online Pharmacy, Health supplements
Educational Programs: Online Education, Study Aboard.

•Primary Keywords: Total of about 30 keywords (15 main keywords +15 plurals & other variations)

This would be a list of all searched for keywords that the website would be primarily optimized for. Less generic in nature, these keywords also require less support from link building in order to rank high.

Examples:
Speaker Selling Company: Ceiling Speakers, Cabinet Speakers.
Website selling Health Products or medication: Protein health supplements.
Educational Programs: online distant post graduation.

•Focused Traffic Keywords: (15 main keywords +15 plurals & other variations)
This list of such searched for keywords would include all such keywords that bring targeted traffic to the website.

Examples:
Speaker Selling Company: Wireless Stereo Speakers, Fiberglass speaker boxes.
Website selling Health Products or medication: Canadian pharmacy online.
Educational Programs: Distant post graduation program Boston.

•High Potential Keywords: (10 main keywords +10 plurals & other variations)
List of all such searched for keywords that are very specific in nature and have very less competition.
Examples:
Speaker Selling Company: Pyle pasw15 stage speaker cabinet, 14 gauge speaker wire.
Website selling Health Products or medication: health bodybuilding supplements.
Educational Programs: Boston University Entrepreneurship degree.

•Misspellings
Many times, misspelled keywords have high search counts and also are a source of good traffic for websites. We would be researching and looking into any such high potential keywords which we may find.

Examples:
Hyperhydrosis (Correct spellings: Hyperhidrosis).
Louis vutton (Correct Spellings:  Louis vuitton).
Pevy Speakers (Correct Spellings: Peavy Speakers).
