Keyword research and keyword analysis are the most important aspects of any search engine optimization campaign or PPC campaign. If you target the wrong keywords, your customers may never find your website online.
Most small business owners believe they already know what keywords their customers would use to find their businesses. This is partly wrong. There are many more keywords that their customers use every day to search for their products and services. On the other hand, if your competitors are using these profitable keywords on their websites, they will definitely attract the customers who are searching for these keywords.
If you want to stay competitive, you cannot afford to lose customers to your competitors.
