SEO is not once-and-done. Search engine optimization is an ongoing process of viewing the analytics for your website and other components of your online presence and then tweaking your content. Use keywords that will help your target audience quickly and easily find what they are looking for on your website instead of with your competitors. This includes choosing keywords used in searches and long-tail keywords or keyword phrases like “digital marketing agency Malvern” or “Chester County web design” instead of the more general “marketing.”
5. Long-tail searches better meet your visitors’ needs according to LinkedIn.
A search of four or more words indicates the website visitor knows what s/he wants. By choosing a longer keyword phrase or a long-tail search term, you can more easily match the user’s desires. This also increases your visibility among those looking for your specific product or service and you enjoy a better conversion rate.
