With Google’s new SEO strategy GA4, it is a crucial time to refine your web content. One of the best ways to practice this is by creating fresh content with specific keywords that allow users to find your website through organic search. Content on your website should use keywords to share insightful information that users are searching for in order to appear on their searches relating to those keywords. By presenting valuable and relevant information on their search topic, you present your business as an authority or visible expert on the topic.
Brainstorming for SEO Keywords to Target
When a user performs a Google search they are inputting keywords to help narrow down their search. If somebody is coming down with a cold, the question in their minds might sound like, “Where can I find sore throat relief closest to me?”, “What over-the-counter medicines will get rid of this cough?’, or “I wonder where the nearest pharmacy is?”
When typed into a Google search bar, it would look a lot more like this: ’cold medicine’ ‘otc cough’ and ‘pharmacy near me’.
The simplified versions of these questions are determined by these keywords, and help the user to find what they are looking for faster and more efficiently. Implementing relevant keywords into your website will help more users find you, too. First, you have to pinpoint what those keywords are.
