Start By Finding Your Keywords And Keyword Phrases To Get Your Business Found Online
So what is a keyword?If we start from the perspective of a searcher, a keyword is a search term that you type in:
- any search engine such as Google
- any social media site such as Facebook or YouTube
- any place online where you can enter words and hit the search button.
A keyword phrase consists of two or more words that you type any place online where you can enter words and hit the search button.
Often when you’re just beginning your research into a product or service, you may type in just one keyword, usually a generic word relating to your search. In other words, you’re just browsing at this stage.
Later, when you’ve decided that you want some more specific information about this product or service, perhaps even to check its availability in your location, and/or to compare prices, you are more likely to type in multiple words (keyword phrases) to produce more specific search results. At this stage you are likely to be seriously considering buying a product or service.
That’s why we have the catchphrase:
- short keywords = browser
- long keywords = buyers
