Keyword Research for Beginners: Find What Your Customers Search

Getting keyword research right is one of the highest-leverage things a growing business can do. In this guide we share the exact approach our team uses with clients across Howrah and Kolkata.

Think like your customer

List the problems your customers have, not just your service names. People search “AC not cooling” far more than “AC repair services”.

Use free tools first

Google autocomplete, “People also ask”, Search Console and Google Keyword Planner reveal real search language at no cost.

Judge intent

Classify each keyword as informational, commercial or transactional. Service pages should target commercial and transactional terms; blog posts answer informational ones.

Prioritise

Score keywords by business value, ranking difficulty and volume. Start with high-value, low-difficulty terms you can win quickly.
