Brainstorming Keywords


Brainstorming your keywords require a significant amount of analyzing your target audience. You need to think about factors like your target audience's geographical locations. Whether your website is targeting a local area or is directed towards the entire nation, maybe even the world, you should write down areas that your website will be servicing. For instance, if you are a dentist in Chicago, you will most likely be servicing the local and possibly the state geographical regions. You would benefit from utilizing keywords with the name of the city or state along with other keywords. For instance, "Chicago Dentistry" or "Dentist Chicago". If your site provides online services such as hosting plans, web design, consultancy services, or software downloads, your target audience will most likely be anywhere in the nation or worldwide, and the process of selecting the keywords may be a bit more complex.Demographics play a significant factor in choosing your target audience. For instance, if you are selling men's hygiene supplies and clothes, women are not the appropriate candidates. Age and income play a primary role in demographics. For instance, if you are selling teens clothes or video games, your target audience is directed to the parents and their kids. While any business would like to target everyone, it is good practice to narrow the keywords down to whom your best clients might be; it is easier to define your target audience and build up a solid client-base than to fly blind. The most effective keyword criteria are phrases that incorporate information on the geography and demographics within near-proximity of the keywords.Starting a poll can help you define your keywords and phrases. It does not hurt to ask various customers, friends and relatives, salespeople, and online forums and blogs what keywords they would use to fulfill their needs. If you have competitors that dabble in the same products or services, you can gain an idea of what they use to describe their webpage's content. Although, it is not always wise to put too much stock in how they have optimized their page, because they may not actually know what they are doing.
