Finding Keywords - Great Keywords! - Why This Is So Crucial To Your SEO NZ Campaign!

Keywords!

What are they exactly?

Why are so many marketers getting this part of the search engine marketing package so very wrong?

Time and time again I come across websites and content which have vague, generic keywords. The upshot of this is that all of the hard work creating content, optimizing sites is absolutely pointless.

If you are targeting keywords which are over competitive and which have front page domination by Government and authority sites, your business will be relegated to the also-rans on pages 2 or 3 or worse.

Result? Minimal traffic. Minimal sales. Under-performing website!

OK! Lets give a brief outline of what you should be looking for in keyword phrases.

Firstly - keywords are the phrases which people are typing in to the various search bars (mainly Google at about 70% of searches) when they are looking for an answer, a product, a solution to a problem or a service.

There are many different tools which aid the experienced marketer to uncover the most searched phrases online (we use several of these). By using these tools we can find phrases which are already getting high traffic on a monthly basis and we are able to dig deeper depending on whether we are looking at a global or a local search - obviously there is no point in a plumber being found in search results in another country. Having a top SEO NZ consultant is essential here.

But, here is the important part.

There is no advantage gained from marketing on particular keywords if they are not the phrases your potential customers are typing in. You may find top search keywords with an awesome amount of traffic but these people may not be your customers. Finding keywords which directly reflect the thoughts of your customers is the art here.

We want buyers, not browsers!

This is why we at High Profile Enterprises work very closely with each of our clients to get laser-focus on the mindset of the customers who already have their credit card out and are ready to buy!

Once we have established the best niche keywords we look at the keyword search popularity.

We will find the best keywords with the highest amount of traffic available.

Then we will analyse the competition on each keyword we find.

How many other websites are optimized for this phrase?

What is the page rank of the competing websites?

Is there paid advertising (Adwords) on this phrase? (this represents there is money to be made on this keyword)

How effective is the SEO of the competing pages?

What formats and platforms are used? eg articles, press releases, web 2.0, video, blogs, websites...

Using these techniques we are able to establish a very high likelihood of front page domination for this particular phrase.

Then we set about collecting a range of related keywords to use in the content in order to establish expertise in this area and to get rewarded by the search engine spiders.

Finding keywords which are going to translate into sales is the crucial skill here.

Keyword research is a highly specialized skill and is a foundation stone to your online sales success.

Imagine dominating multiple front page positions for a "buyer" keyword which has 10,000 monthly searches!

Imagine then if you were able to dominate 10 or more of these keywords!

Bill Gates said "by the end of 2002, there will be only two kinds of businesses: those with an Internet presence and those with no business at all."

He might have been overstating the case, but it has been proven beyond doubt that an effective Website has become an integral part of any business marketing today.

If you are up to date with business trends you will know that in order to grow your business beyond your current customer base, you have to be marketing your products or services online.

You will hear over and over again how the traditional ways of advertising have been usurped by the incredible power that the Internet provides.

Why?

Because the old ways of marketing your business offline i.e. newspapers, yellow pages, radio, television, etc. are extremely expensive platforms and it is very difficult to analyze specific results. Using these various media options can leave you wondering if your money was well spent.

And let's face it, as a business owner in today's unpredictable climate, you want to get the best bang for your buck.

So, how can you successfully market your brand to create more awareness and more customers?

How can you increase and measure the growth in your business that occurs and relate it directly to your advertising spend?


By making your Website work for you.

One of the biggest advantages of search engine optimization techniques is that you can track precisely where each and every sale comes from. By using applications like Google Analytics you can identify with pinpoint accuracy, the exact source of your customer, right down to what they typed in to find you and which site they came from.

Being able to find your Website in search engine results is the key, as more than 80 percent of traffic comes via search engines.

There are presently more than 4 billion Web pages and Internet traffic doubles every 100 days - are you missing out on this incredible opportunity to get your Website in front of these users?

With statistics like this, you definitely need to be in the game using every weapon you can lay your hands on to stay there.

Website design is important, BUT but it's how your Website is marketed that will bring you results.

Getting new customers to your site and more importantly, getting them to buy, is the only proof your Website is working for you.

Putting together a marketing strategy using search engine optimization techniques based on user behavior, content based on keyword research, being able to track and meet the needs of your Website visitors will definitely bring the results that you are looking for.

You've got your Website - now make sure it lives up to it's full potential.
