Keyword Analysis

Keyword Analysis

Time to use SEO tools! (Typically Semrush or Ahrefs.)

​

Now that we better understand your differentiators, we need to pinpoint the search terms with the best ROI.

​

Go too general, and you'll get searchers with no intent to buy (such as students & researchers).

​Go too top of the marketing funnel (ToFu), and you'll spend more time educating buyers than turning a profit. 

At KC SEO, we aim for the sweet spot, closer to the bottom of the funnel (BoFu).

 

>> This is where you'll close sales.

KC SEO always includes a strategy meeting as part of our process to ensure strategy alignment.

This often turns into key opportunities for our clients.​
