Keyword Research

Keyword research is the process of finding and analyzing search terms that people enter into search engines with the goal of using that data for a specific purpose, often for search engine optimization (SEO) or general marketing. It helps you find which keywords are best to target and provides valuable insight into the queries that your target audience is actually searching on Google. By researching keywords that are getting a high volume of searches per month, you can identify and sort your content strategy around the topics that people care about.
