Keyword Research FAQ
What is keyword research, exactly?
It’s the process of identifying the phrases people actually type into Google when searching for businesses like yours, especially at the local level.
Why is keyword research important for local businesses?
It helps connect actual customer questions to the services and pages that can answer them. A useful keyword list distinguishes relevant buying intent from unrelated, branded or employment searches; inserting phrases alone does not guarantee visibility.
What kind of keywords do you find?
Group searches by service, customer problem, intent and relevant geography. Separate current opportunities from longer-term targets using available evidence, and record why a group is selected or rejected. Low tool difficulty does not make a query a guaranteed easy win.
Do you only use Google’s keyword tool?
Research can combine third-party keyword estimates, Search Console data where available, competitor/result review and the business’s service knowledge. The deliverable should identify the sources actually used and their dates, rather than rely on an unspecified AI signal.
What’s the difference between local and national keywords?
Local intent can be explicit, such as a service plus city, or implicit in a query that expects a nearby provider. National keyword-tool estimates and locally observed performance are different datasets; keep their geography and limits visible.
How often do you update or review my keywords?
Confirm the review interval included in your plan. Revisit the map when service coverage changes, the evidence shifts or existing pages are not meeting the intended searcher’s need.
Can I request specific keywords?
Absolutely. If you already have target services or areas in mind, we’ll factor them into the strategy.
Do you add these keywords to my site and profile?
Depending on your plan, we apply relevant terms naturally to website content and accurate service descriptions. Business names, addresses, and categories must remain truthful. We do not script customer reviews or ask customers to insert target keywords.
How do I know if the keywords are working?
Compare query and landing-page visibility over consistent periods, then examine relevant visits and verified received inquiries separately. A ranking change or call-button click is not proof of a qualified customer.
Can I rank for multiple services or neighborhoods?
A business can appear for multiple relevant services and locations, but coverage depends on competition, relevance, prominence, and searcher distance. We target areas you genuinely serve and distinct customer needs; near-identical city pages do not guarantee visibility.
