FAQs » 11. How do I choose the best keywords for my web site?
Choosing the right keywords is vital not only for ensuring high rankings, but also to increase the number of times a visitor decides to use your service or buy your products. It is pointless to increase your hits through search engines if it doesn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t increase the amount of business you get from it. Here are some basic guidelines for compiling a list of keywords:
- Each keyword should be at least 2 or 3 words ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú experience tells us that people use a search phrase specific to their needs as opposed to one word generalisations. For example ?¢‚Ǩ?ìadventure holiday travel agent?¢‚Ǩ¬ù will produce more relevant results than simply searching for ?¢‚Ǩ?ìtravel?¢‚Ǩ¬ù.
- Try to put yourself into your customers?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ shoes. What would you search for if you were looking for your services?
- Consider using your location, or the area in which you provide your products or services. This is especially important if you only operate within a particular region. Good examples would be ?¢‚Ǩ?ìwood furniture Newcastle?¢‚Ǩ¬ù or ?¢‚Ǩ?ìhandmade furniture North East?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
