It would not be a very wise decision to rush into search engine marketing without having a set of relevant keywords ready beforehand. Search engines are all about keywords. The web surfer type in their search in the form of keywords and the search engines show results analyzing the relevance of those keywords in the web world.

These set of keywords are usually segregated into the primary, secondary and other related key words or phrases which best match the core content of the websites. Many web masters also tend to optimize their website with, keywords based on their products, services or content.

The selection of a wrong or unrelated set of keywords will hamper the traffic flow of your website and will inversely affect the conversion rate of the site. It is also important to choose high demand keywords as your relevant keywords. High demand keywords on the search engines are those keywords that are most commonly searched by the surfers. Selecting less popular keywords again will not be effective in attracting influx to your websites.

Another essential thing to remember before making your selection of keywords, is to first decide, what is it that you are expecting to obtain from this marketing campaign. Do you wish to increase your sale or lead, or do you wish more and more people to come and visit your website. Are you doing this campaign only for branding purpose or do you also wish to attain a higher rank in the search engines? Keyword selection for all these purposes varies slightly in nature.

The target audience of a websites also takes active participation in deciding the keyword selection of your site. If you are targeting the youth the key words or phrases shall be more trendy and stylish and latest amongst them, similarly it varies from place to place and country to country too. Implying these simple logistics will enhance your search engine marketing strategy showing effective results in no time.

Considering all these points it becomes extremely necessary that all websites that are planning to venture into the keywords optimization fundamental of the search engines, must do a thorough keyword analysis. Based on your keyword analysis reports you can now decide upon your paid search keyword and organic search keywords.

Keywords still matter, but effective keyword work today is less about guessing “high-demand” terms and more about matching searcher intent and mapping that intent to individual pages. is right to stress planning, and ’s quick A/B-style test shows why short experiments are useful. Below is a compact, practical workflow and tactics to turn those basic ideas into measurable wins. Moz: Keyword research guide | Google: SEO Starter Guide. (moz.com)

Start with data, not guesses: export your current queries and landing pages from Search Console and Analytics to see what you already rank for and what converts; use seed keywords from product/service pages and competitor organic reports; expand with tools and filter by search volume, keyword difficulty, and likely conversion; group keywords by intent (informational vs. commercial/transactional) and assign one clear primary target per page with a few semantic variants; build or rewrite the page to satisfy that intent and measure clicks, impressions, CTR, and conversions. Search Console performance & integration guide | Moz on grouping and page-level targeting. (developers.google.com)

If head terms are crowded (as noted for “SEO services”), don’t try to beat big brands head-on immediately. Prioritize long-tail buyer queries and niche modifiers that convert better, create pillar/cluster content to build topical authority, use local or vertical-specific landing pages, and run short PPC tests to validate conversion rates before scaling organic focus — Keyword Planner gives bid/volume context while long-tail targeting reduces competition.

Troubleshooting quick checklist: if traffic doesn’t move, confirm the page matches intent, check for thin content or canonical/noindex problems, validate crawl/coverage and performance in Search Console, and run controlled content/promotional tests rather than mass edits. Keyword research is ongoing — test small, measure business impact (not rank alone), and iterate monthly. Search Console performance deep dive. (developers.google.com)

I couldn't decide on a keyword so I went for three.. But one clearly came out on top of the search engines and then I optimized for that... I found it extrememly hard to pin point a keyword and make a decision. But Google and their searchers let me know..

Good post there, jrafique. Keyword optimization, as they say the art of choosing the correct keywords, is one of the most important things related to SEO. Sadly, it's also one of the things people tend to spend too little time on.

You are very much right. If you don't know your keywords you can't compete.

I agree keyword analysis place main factor before deciding what keywords to choose for a particular page but my question is how to compete with the highly search volume keywords where competition is too high, for example SEO services, PPC services etc.....

That's why we need to have the list of primary and secondary keywords before we start to do off-page optimization.
