Keyword Strategy For Digital Marketing in Cumbria
You want business success: more customers and healthy profits.
If you want anything to drive that success online; then it doesn’t happen without planning!
A well researched and planned keyword strategy is the foundation of any successful search marketing campaign or longer term marketing strategy.
A sound keyword strategy helps the business select the most important PPC and SEO keywords that will attract targeted visitors to your business’ website.
Relevance: Choosing Keywords For SEO
The choice of search terms to target is crucial, because some of them are so competitive, that clawing your way to a first place listing is unattainable for most smaller enterprises. That applies whether your campaign is targeting a prominent place in local listings on mobile devices, or you are wading in full bore, with a large budget pay per click advertising campaign. However, a keyword research professional will identify clusters of less competitive, lower search volume keywords which, combined, will give you a more reasonable chance of powerful business results.
The best keyword strategies rely on highly relevant Google search words, which are keywords that relate closely to your business and are associated with your customers’ desire to buy. Crucially, the strategies for your website pages will differ depending on whether they are the target of paid ads on Google, Bing or Facebook etc. or whether they are landing pages from organic searches.
Strategies for PPC Keyword Selection
Once the target keywords are chosen, the next step in your keyword strategy is to decide a budget for your Pay per Click advertising campaign and decide which keywords will be targeted by ads. Keyword grouping collects similar keywords to target a very clearly focused landing page. A narrow focus brings the best return on PPC campaigns. This is particularly important for e-commerce websites when your campaign really needs to identify the “buyer keywords”!.
Additionally, for PPC campaigns your strategy should include work to identify “negative keywords” (words you don’t want your ad to appear for). Reducing your appearance for these keywords in a PPC campaign will reduce your PPC bill significantly and increase the effectiveness of its targeting.
The costs of a PPC bidding strategy, advertising in Google, Bing or Facebook et al is dependant on how competitively other businesses are bidding on your keywords. A successful keyword bid strategy needs you to discover the sweet spot of low competition, less expensive, high relevance keywords, with enough combined search volume and clickthrough rate to generate sales; and that happens through effective keyword research.
Strategies for Choosing Keywords For SEO
Many of our clients, looking at the website of a competitor, have been stuck with the question. “Which keywords send traffic to this site?” And for most – busy as they are meeting the daily demands of their business – it is difficult to find a starting point.
Successful organic search marketing requires reasonably intensive keyword research to identify commercially useful seo phrases that describe the products or services you sell and which are sufficiently low in competition – or keyword difficulty – for the website to be in with a chance of showing up in the search results.
In contrast to PPC campaigns the keyword selection for organic search landing pages needs to be slightly wider in focus – almost topical in fact! For a service business or an e-commerce category page, these are likely to need the page to describe the searcher’s topic incorporating a range of keywords that help to describe the topic of the searcher’s implicit question clearly and which include synonyms and semantically related words so that the text on the page flows, is easily readable by almost all adults and which secondarily ticks the boxes of search engine optimisation.
Above all it must provide the answer and a clear link through to the action that is required!
The Low Hanging Fruit of SEO: Long Tail Keywords
Having some top line keywords in the PPC keyword strategy does make sense, but these highly coveted key words tend to be poorly focused and much more expensive. Keeping your focus on the long-tail phrases can be more effective in sales terms and much more cost effective overall.
These keyword selection and grouping strategies rely on discovering clusters of high-value keywords, but finding them, as an owner of a completely unrelated business, can take for ever! That’s where Climb High SEO come to your assistance. Whether you are targeting Google, Bing, Facebook or Amazon we will be able to sniff out any valuable keyword you need.
