When is it time to revisit your keyword research?

To me, keyword researching should be a daily business, its how you keep on top of your market--knowing what your audience is searching for. I don't think Google takes a break from analyzing how people search. That said, Google might take some time to update their database. And "as user behavior changes, so do their search phrases". So the question really does boil down to WHEN to check in on your prized keywords again?

  • when your current keywords no longer produce traffic, or as much traffic as before.
  • when there are new industry jargon.
  • when your company rebranded itself, or launched new products and pages.

ZMOT- when you do your online search for a new product/service, theres a name for it!

The Zero Moment of Truth (ZMOT) is the moment you form your decisions while on the first research on the Internet for a product or service. Why is this important? Because consumers used to gather impression/information/reputation of a product from the store (for eg after they see an ad), now they just visit twitter, facebook, forums, landing pages, company websites...

Download the ZMOT ebook

Process:
person sees ad --> goes online and hit product name, sociel media sites, shopping comparison sites, product review sites, price comparison sites --> makes his decision to cehck out product in mall.
Does this sound familiar? Yeah i do it everyday. :)

Interesting facts:

  • Mobile searches on google doubled last year.
  • Consumers uses 10.4 sources in 2011, compared to 5.3 sources of information in 2010.
  • Consumers no longer make shopping decisions in a linear way. Rather, like neurons, they branch out to gather as many information as possible from friends, ads, social media..
  • keyword to optimize for: best, top...
  • Average length of research for 80% of people before purchase: 1 month. 
Priority in search
Big ticket items: 1) prices 2) quality 3) design
Retail consumer products: 1) information 2) reviews 3) discounts

SEO services are for life! So is SEO client! I will do my best. :)

SEO services are for life! So is SEO client!

 

As an SEO client, it’s important to understand and maintain SEO momentum. You can't put SEO on hold and then pick up where you left off a few months later.

Basically, you should never just fire your SEO firm without there being an alternative in place to follow current SEO projects through to the end, and having additional projects planned and scoped in advance.

Any interruption in your SEO efforts can end up setting you back months or years, and that can not only mean having to reinvest in SEO all over again, but losing the SEO equity you’ve built to date.

 

http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2082871/5-Steps-to-Strategically-Managin...

 

Couple of notes to be a good SEO service provider:

- understand business model and business goals.

- agree in advance the combination of KPIs

- work closely with IT/Dev & Legal.
