One of the most important aspects of SEO and Search Engine Marketing is keywords. However, some people can find difficulty choosing which keywords to focus on in their digital marketing campaign.
4 Tips For Choosing Keywords
If you’re confused about digital marketing and choosing keywords, here’s a quick guide consisting of 4 tips to help you learn more about keywords and why they’re important for Search Engine Optimisation and Search Engine Marketing campaigns.
- Learn About The Many Different Types Of Keywords
There are lots of different types of keywords. Firstly there’s the generic keyword, an example of a generic keyword could be football boots. This keyword isn’t very specific and as such it will likely have a large amount of competition. However, should you be able to rank highly for a generic keyword, you should expect a good amount of internet traffic from that keyword. However, as generic keywords are generic, you might notice that the conversation rate for the keyword is lower than other keywords due to their lack of specificity.
Moving on from generic keywords, you can decide to add more information into the keyword. Instead of casting a wide net capturing numerous different types of football boots, you could narrow the search down to yellow football boots. Whilst this keyword does indeed still cover a broad range of different types of football boots, narrowing it down to yellow boots does indeed make it less generic and as such, if you rank for a keyword such as this, it is likely that you will receive an average amount of conversions, an improvement over generic keywords.
Another example of keywords is the Long Tail Keyword. This keyword uses numerous different words and as such can also be known as a search phrase. These keywords are specific to your product or service. Additionally they also usually have low competition due to their specificity; however this comes at the cost of low search volume.
For example, using the previous example of football boots, you could choose a long tail keyword, ‘yellow moulded studs football boots’. - Prioritise A List Of Keywords
When creating a list of keywords, it is very important that you do quality keyword research.
Firstly it is important that you learn how to correctly value a keyword. You wouldn’t want to put hours and hours of time into creating quality content for a keyword that doesn’t provide a good return on investment. Choosing the right keyword isn’t just about choosing a keyword that attracts lots of visitors to your website, it’s about attracting the right visitors to your website. So don’t just think about clicks alone, you should also think about conversion rates.
If you’re wondering, ‘what is a good conversion rate’ and you would like to learn more information about optimising your website with the goal of boosting conversions, consider taking a professional Conversion Rate Optimisation training course from SEO Junkies. We will teach your how to calculate your conversion rate, teach you techniques for Landing Page Optimisation and lots more.

Whilst setting yourself long term goals can be exciting it is very important to remain realistic. Remember that many aspects of digital marketing such as SEO are long term; they are a marathon not a sprint. However, other aspects of SEM can provide very quick results such as Pay Per Click Advertising, also known as Paid Search.
So when organising a digital marketing campaign, remember to be realistic in terms of timeframe and the competition for certain keywords.
