It’s not always easy knowing which keywords and phrases to target when optimising your website – and as I say in my latest blog over on Birds on the Blog, it’s all too easy to fail to see beyond high traffic and high competition phrases.
So why not try asking other people what THEY would use to search for you? This great tool from Seed Keywords allows you to set up a scenario (eg “If you were searching for a website that sells XXXXX, what would you type in to Google?”) and then invite people to contribute, anonymously.
If you can get enough people to contribute, you can get a great overall picture of the type of things that current and potential customers could be typing in to find you – and I bet there’ll be a few surprises!
Set up your ’scenario’ then promote it via:
- Email to current customers
- Your Facebook fan page
- On your blog
- In your email signature
- On LinkedIn
- Everywhere!
In fact, why not post a link to your scenario below and I’ll promise to drop and make some suggestions on each and every one.
