What is Keyword?

A keyword is a word or phrase someone types into Google.

Quick answer

A keyword is a word or phrase someone types into Google.

What it means

A keyword is a word or phrase someone types into Google. In normal terms, it is one small part of how Google and people understand your site.

Why it matters

Keywords help you understand how customers describe their problem. The words they use are often not the words you use inside the business.

What to do about it

Use keywords as a guide, not a script. Write a page that answers the search properly, then include the phrase in natural places like the title and heading.

Bloom's take

Bloom finds useful keywords and turns them into pages or tasks, without asking you to become a keyword spreadsheet person.
