Keyword Research

Keyword research is at the core of your entire content marketing strategy. Don’t trust it to just anyone.

We’ve all heard the phrase “content is king.” And in our world, it is certainly good to be king.

But when it comes to digital marketing generally—and content marketing specifically—a king is only as mighty as his queen, and in this case, the most powerful queens are keywords.

You may not realize just how important keywords are to your content marketing strategy. Search engines like Google use keywords to locate and crawl your content to determine where it should rank on search results pages. This is why conducting keyword research is so critical. Keywords inform how you produce your ads, your social media posts, your website copy, your case studies, and of course, your blogs.

No matter how superior your product or service, no matter how relevant and engaging your content—If you’re not targeting the right keywords, you’re not getting found by your target audiences.

Why Is Keyword Research Important?

Keywords are the search terms people use when looking for information online. They’re the words and phrases that help people find your website using search engines like Google or Bing.

Keyword research is an essential piece of your content marketing strategy. Without it, you’re flying blind—your content won’t be as helpful to your readers, and you won’t be able to track which topics resonate with them. Keyword research allows you to make content marketing decisions based on data rather than guesswork.

Keyword research is an essential first step in any content marketing strategy. It helps you determine which topics to explore and how to present them based on what your audience wants to learn about. It enables you to create relevant, valuable content that answers people’s questions and solves their problems.
