What is Keyword research?

Keyword research means finding the words and phrases your customers search for.

Quick answer

Keyword research means finding the words and phrases your customers search for.

What it means

Keyword research means finding the words and phrases your customers search for. In normal terms, it is one small part of how Google and people understand your site.

Why it matters

It stops you writing pages nobody asked for. It also shows which searches are worth a full page, a short answer or no action at all.

What to do about it

Start with services, locations and questions customers already ask. Compare search volume with intent. Pick phrases that match what you actually sell.

Bloom's take

Bloom does keyword research in the background and gives you the next useful page or fix, not a giant export.
