4 Step Keyword Research Process:
Step 1 – How to find keywords and build your initial keyword list
I recommend using Google Keyword Planner, which is a free tool provided to people who use Google Ads. It can be used for SEO and PPC Advertising.
Step 2 – Create a list of topics & Subtopics based on your keyword list
Once you have your list of keywords, you want to break them down into topics and subtopics that you can cover on your website. Ultimately, keywords represent a problem that your customers are facing. If you can solve them with your content, you can also advertise your products and services in the process.
Step 3 – Understand search intent for your keywords & topics
Search intent is important because people are generally either researching or purchasing when they search. Many times, people are looking for more information about what they should purchase through search engines like Google.
Step 4 – Use topics & subtopics to Create pages that solve for search intent
Lastly, you want to use your topics and your subtopics to create pages of content or products. There are plenty of ways to promote your products and services by understanding what people are looking for.
