Plucking ideas out of the air just doesn't do. You need to identify what your potential customers/clients are searching for, and then identify how many searches for these are done each month as well as how strong the competition is. There is absolutely no point being on page one of Google for a keyword that gets ZERO searches per month! So, to begin with, think like a customer, think what they are going to type into the search box. Once you have done this. use a free tool such as Google Keyword Planner, this will also allow you to see other keyword / key phrase suggestions as well as identify how strong your competition is. Of course if this is something you struggle with, hire a company that specialises in this area. So, once you have those all important keywords and key phrases, the next step is to ensure that your content contains them, and your strong keywords and key phrases are within your titles, throughout the text (to the point of around 2%) again, it is useful to hire an SEO specialist to do this for you. By proper preparation, planning and implementation you will then start driving relevant traffic to your site and making sales. More tips to follow Image Credits: Pixabay.com

Nice post. Upvoted. What's your opinion on using a free service or plugin like Yoast to optimize SEO rather than hiring a specialist?

Many thanks for the upvote. As social media specialists we actually use Yoast when working with WordPress sites, it is really good for a beginner, what should be remembered is that their traffic light system is purely a guide (A little like a satnav) and you can still have a red light yet rank highly on Google. But certainly a very useful tool to have on your site. Of course sometimes it is still worth getting an expert in from time to time, even just having a quick health check to make sure your site is where it should be. I do recommend that you also have Google Search Console integrated as well so you can keep an eye on things. Hope this helps.

This is a nice post. Keyword research is a very important aspect of online presence and SEO. I wrote an article about [3 SEO tools](https://spencercoffman.com/seo-tools/) including keyword research that are very beneficial. I have also written some [eBooks on social media marketing](https://spencercoffman.com/ebooks/) that may interest you, in addition to several [blog articles](https://spencercoffman.com/blog) on marketing and SEO that may be very beneficial. Thank you, Spencer Coffman [SpencerCoffman.com](https://spencercoffman.com)
