Keyword Research
Often customers are concerned that we may not understand or know enough about their company and the industry in which it is based to be able to write relevant articles for them. At the beginning of a project that very well be the case but once the keywords have been identified and we have spent time researching them we actually end up knowing a considerable amount about your business. We research the following to write quality and informative pieces of writing:-
- What is the product?
- Who distributes it?
- Where is it used?
- Who buys it?
- What historical facts are there?
- Recent news?
- Benefits to companies and customers.
- We keep our eyes and ears open to see the product being used in everyday life.
Researching the Unknown
We have a customer who stocks electrical components that are commonly used to construct fans in restaurant kitchens and controllers that can be used to change temperatures in a variety of different settings. The two key words that were identified were; ‘Programmable logic controllers’, and ‘variable speed drives’, on first viewing they seem complicated and daunting but once you start researching them you do learn an awful lot about the industry. For example we found that the main benefit of,’variable speed drives,’ was environmental and that the restaurant industry has benefitted financially by reducing the speed of their extractor fans and have reduced their carbon footprint at the same time. We now have a secure knowledge of the industry which allows us to publish links in the most relevant locations on the internet.
Identifying Keywords
Keywords are identified by finding out which words a person types into a search engine to find the type of business that you have. If your business appears in the listing then you have identified the keywords correctly if not you may find that you will need to have your website search results analysed to see which keywords people use to find your site. Again this is time consuming work and can often get in the way of the nature of your business.
