Types of Keywords

SEO Keywords: Targeted for organic (unpaid) search results.

Why Are Keywords Important?

  • They connect user intent with website content, improving visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs).
  • Help businesses attract their target audience and drive conversions by addressing specific needs or queries.

By strategically selecting and optimising for relevant keywords, businesses can improve their online presence and connect with potential customers effectively.
