1. HAVE YOU RECENTLY REVIEWED YOUR KEYWORDS AND KEY PHRASES?
Your core keywords and key phrases should relate closely to your business goals. If you’ve changed your business recently — added new products or services, changed a product or enhanced it — you may want to consider adding additional keywords.
2. DO YOU REGULARLY REVIEW YOUR KEYWORD PERFORMANCE?
If you haven’t reviewed your keyword performance recently, you de!nitely should. Run a report on all your keywords for at least the last year to see which ones make money and which ones are not cost-e"ective.
3. DO YOU USE TOOLS TO GAUGE HOW COMPETITIVE YOUR KEYWORDS ARE?
Many sites o"er products and services (free and paid) to help you !nd keywords and key phrases that are competitive in your industry. If these research tools deliver less than the industry recommended 150 search terms related to your main keyword, you may have a winner. If more, consider re!ning your term by adding a quali!er, such as changing “ fresh produce” to “organically grown fresh produce.”
4. HAVE YOU EXPERIMENTED WITH CHOOSING LESS COMPETITIVE KEYWORDS AND PHRASES?
Search terms with lower search volumes may cost less and may still be a good investment because the tra#c should be more targeted. For example, the phrase “co"ee and tea shop” is likely to be less expensive than “co"ee shop,” yet it may deliver more highly quali!ed prospects.

5. DO YOU USE MULTIPLE SOURCES FOR KEYWORDS?
If you don’t tap several sources, you may miss other valuable keywords. In addition to automated keyword research tools, use your industry knowledge, your own web site and your competitors’ sites to !nd new keywords.
6. TRY THESE OPTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS:
7. DO YOU KNOW HOW YOUR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS SEARCH?
Understanding how potential customers perform searches can help you determine the keywords they use to !nd your web site and your competitors. Analyze your server logs to see what terms drive tra#c to your site. If you have an internal search feature on your site, look at the terms people entered. Ask existing customers to describe your business and your products and services.
