Why is keyword research important for SEO?
Keyword research is important because it decides what every page on your website tries to rank for. Target the wrong searches and even a well-built site attracts the wrong visitors, or none at all.
What are common keyword research mistakes?
The most common keyword research mistakes are chasing high-volume searches with no buying intent, targeting terms that are too competitive, ignoring long-tail keywords and letting several pages compete for the same search. Each one wastes content budget, and each has a clear fix.
