Strategy for Finding the Best Keywords
Our strategy for finding the best keyword tutorial is geared towards the average business owner with little to no knowledge of internet marketing, but wanting to learn SEO. This is not for E-Commerce or selling products online. I will write on that in the coming weeks! Enjoy!
1. Use Your Major City and State as a Keyword Strategy
Obviously, every business in the US is located in some city and state. This is a great starting point for for your list. You might want to grab a pen and paper and jot them down! For example, “Denver”,”Denver CO”, Denver Colorado”, etc…
2. Your Business Keywords are the most important
Just like above, every business can be put in some category. This is the most important part of keyword strategy so you should use a tool to gather data. Word Tracker is a good program to use. They have a free trial version too. An example for the Internet Marketing Industry would be: “SEO”, “Search Marketing”, “Internet Marketing”, “Web Marketing”, etc…
3. Put Them All Together
Now mix the local (city/state) keywords with the business keywords in sensible combinations. As you can see in examples below, reversing keywords are completely different keywords. For example: “Denver SEO”, “SEO Denver”, “Marketing Denver”, “Internet Marketing Denver”, etc…
Now you should have a decent size list of keywords and you can start submitting to free online directories!
