What is Keyword Research ?
Keyword research refers to the process of discovery and analysis a marketer undergoes when seeking to understand how their target market searches. Typically it will seek to understand searcher behavior throughout the buying cycle - from very broad exploratory terms to highly targeted commercial terms.

Keyword – words typed into a search box


Keyword research is one of the most important, valuable, and high return activities in the search marketing field.


  • Process of finding the best suitable keywords for a business to optimize the site.
  • Keywords can make or break the site.
  • It's not always about getting visitors to your site, but about getting the right kind of visitors.
  • We can predict the user demands and what they exactly watch.

The customer journey

It’s worth thinking about the different approaches potential customers take when searching.

  • Research keywords tend to contain one or two words
  • Consideration keywords tend to contain two or three words
  • Purchase keywords tend to be long tail – having three or more words
  • Loyalty keywords are brand based. These tend to be shorter

   You can increase your return on investment (ROI) by attracting searchers in the consideration and purchase stages of their journey.
