The most important thing to do when thinking of SEO keywords is to make sure that they are relevant to your website. Are you selling your artworks or does your design business provide a specific kind service?

Coming up with keywords from a business perspective is not the best way to create keywords. What your design agency needs to do is to think like a consumer and create keywords that potential customers will type into search engines when they are looking for a specific product or service. The keywords should link to a product or information on your site.

By Popular Demand

By popular demand

Popular keywords are the keywords that most people will type in to a search engine when looking for a specific item ,for example, 3D creations or illustrations. The more people typing in the keyword, the more traffic will come to your website. Missing out on these popular terms or choosing terms that are too obscure may result in a lack of traffic.

Be Specific

Having popular keywords isn’t enough. This is going to sound contradictory, but it must be popular and specific. If you choose a term that is too generic your site will get lost amidst the larger and more powerful corporations that have invested an enormous amount of money in ranking for these terms. The right blend of popular and specific should result in many people finding you without too much competition on keywords. Less competition means it will rank better in search engines and those customers will be more likely to visit your website. If you have your own business for example you will want your location (specific) and your product (popular) to be targeted in your campaign.

Check out the Competitors
