How to use the Google Keyword Planner to help your SEO

Have you ever wondered why some businesses seem to have all the right words to catch the eye of potential customers? We want to let you in on a little secret; it’s free and you can use it for your business today.

Google’s free keyword planner is a tool that allows you to search for the most popular words and phrases relating to your business. Read on, because we are going to show you exactly how you can use it too!

The Google Keyword Planner here can be used to get search volume data for specific keywords, historical statistics and provide suggestions on other keywords you may not have thought of.

It will also show you how competitive keywords are and the potential cost per click you may expect to pay in a Google Adwords campaign.

How is this keyword information useful to your business?

It allows you to:

  • Gain insights into how people are searching for your product or service.
  • Create web content around themes or topics that are popular.
  • Identify important keywords that can be targeted in your Search Engine Optimisation strategy.

How to use the Google Keyword Planner to identify popular search phrases in 6 easy steps

STEP 1. IDENTIFY THE PRIMARY TOPIC, PRODUCT OR SERVICE

For example – Tattoo Supplies

STEP 2. SIGN IN TO GOOGLE AND GO TO: HTTPS://ADWORDS.GOOGLE.COM/KEYWORDPLANNER

STEP 3. SELECT “SEARCH FOR NEW KEYWORDS USING A PHRASE, WEBSITE OR CATEGORY”

STEP 4. ENTER THE PRIMARY TOPIC, PRODUCT OR SERVICE (FROM STEP 1)

In the first field and select the appropriate targeting. In this example, the online store is selling to everyone in Australia, thus Australia is selected. If it was a small business targeting only the Sunshine Coast, then the region should be changed to Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia. Click “Get Ideas”.

STEP 5. CHOOSE YOUR KEYWORDS

At this point, a list of about 701 keyword phrases is displayed. The objective is to choose the most highly searched for phrases that are relevant to your business.

The easiest way to do this is to select all that are relevant and then export the list to an excel file where they can be further refined.

To select a keyword, click on the arrow to the right and “add it to plan”. Once you have added all that are relevant, click on the downward pointing arrow on the far right to “Download Plan”

You now have a shortlist of popular keywords that can be used in your search engine optimisation strategy.

Matthew Wyman - CEO

★★★★★ 5/5

We have been working with Chilli for 3+ months now on some projects. In the beginning, they took the time to understand our project goals and have done their upmost to bring that into reality. Their team is always a pleasure to deal with and we have found them to be understanding and flexible within reason. I couldn’t recommended them more.

Testimonials

Kings Beach Surf Club

★★★★★ 5/5

Kings Beach Surf Club’s experience with Chilli has been fantastic. We initially reached out to Chilli for our brand rollout, and from there we have been working together on several other incredible projects. Right from the first moment we met with Darren, it’s been a great experience. Darren’s and the team’s ideas right in our first conversation set us up to succeed. At Chilli, they always make you feel comfortable, simply by their knowledge and experience. They are always happy for us to come into the office, sometimes on really short notice. They were fantastic and we were comfortable from the minute we stepped in the door.
