Linguistic Keyword Research Study by PPC agency:
Overview:

  • Linguistic / Semantic Analysis is a market research study of keyword search data. The goal is to gain an understanding of the consumer search vernacular around your products and the needs they support to understand the consumer’s journey and the search terms they use when shopping for your products.
  • The outcome will be a view of the consumer decision process / sales funnel as it relates to search. The data can be used to align the keyword data to taxonomy, URL structure, navigation and product naming and make any necessary changes to ensure a client’s site reflects the consumer voice.
  • Another outcome will be to understand where a client has assets (pages) that align with the consumer decision process and where it does not. The gaps in content may be areas of education materials around product use, product care, comparison data and more. It’s imperative that all stages of consumer search behavior are understood to create a search-informed site and content development strategy.
