Keyword Research Services: Capture Keywords That Convert
Keyword research services help businesses discover the search terms their target audience uses on Google and other search engines. By identifying high-value keywords with strong search intent, keyword research helps businesses build SEO strategies that attract qualified traffic, improve rankings, and drive more leads.
At WebFX, our keyword research services analyze search volume, competition, and intent to uncover the best opportunities for your business. We then organize those insights into a data-driven SEO strategy designed to grow your visibility and revenue.

When you partner with our keyword research agency, you’ll receive the backing of over 750 marketing experts to help you perfect your SEO. That means no part of the keyword research process will be neglected. Here’s an overview of what you can expect from our keyword research services!

Analysis of your company and audience
Analysis of your company and audience
You can’t develop a good keyword list without first knowing your company and your audience.
That’s why before conducting keyword research, we’ll take the time to get to know you. We’ll learn about your business and your goals, what you want your marketing to accomplish, and who makes up your target audience.
Using that information, we’ll then help you develop buyer personas that enable you to target people with the information that’s most relevant to them.
Come up with initial keyword ideas
Come up with initial keyword ideas
Once we understand your business and audience, the next step in our keyword research process is identifying potential keywords your customers are already searching for.
Our SEO specialists use advanced keyword research tools and over 30 years of experience to uncover relevant search terms related to your products, services, and industry.
This process helps us build an initial list of keyword opportunities your business can target in search results.
During this stage, we focus on identifying keywords that:
- Have strong search demand and measurable search volume
- Match your customers’ search intent
- Are relevant to your products or services
- Provide opportunities to outrank competitors
We then analyze and refine this keyword list to identify high-value keywords that can drive qualified traffic to your website and support your long-term SEO strategy.
Look at your competition
Look at your competition
When it comes to ranking in search results, you’re not the only company trying to obtain valuable leads and traffic. Your competition is actively searching and seeking out keywords to drive leads to their business. That’s why when you partner with WebFX, you’ll get help conducting a competitor keyword analysis.
When you perform keyword research, we’ll help you look at which keywords your competitors are targeting to help you identify potential keyword opportunities for your business.
Map and integrate your keywords
Map and integrate your keywords
Once you have a list of terms to work with, it’s time to start applying those keywords to your site. With the help of our team, you can start by keyword mapping, which is where you assign the terms to different pages on your site where they would best draw relevant traffic.
Once you’ve mapped your keywords, we’ll help you start integrating them into your content so you can rank in relevant search results and drive qualified traffic to your site.

Why is keyword research essential for your SEO?
Without the right keywords, your business will have a very hard time getting its SEO off the ground.
Here are three ways SEO keyword research can heighten the success of your digital marketing.
Broaden your audience
Broaden your audience
The way you reach people on search engines is by displaying your content in the search results. It follows, then, that when you target a larger number of relevant searches, you end up reaching more people.
That’s one of the reasons keyword research is so important: It helps you grow your audience. With every keyword you add to your list, you increase the chances that new people will encounter your content and visit your site.
By including more relevant keywords on the page, you can increase your number of readers — and perhaps also your number of leads and conversions — from that page!
Find higher-traffic keywords
Find higher-traffic keywords
The keyword research process isn’t just about finding keywords. It’s about finding the right keywords. Among other things, that means finding keywords that will help you drive the most qualified traffic.
With keyword research, you can identify which keywords drive a substantial amount of traffic for your business. You can see how the search volume for these keywords changes over time, which allows you to determine the best time to target them.

Ultimately, you won’t know for sure which keywords will bring in the most traffic for your site unless you find out through research. If you’re performing keyword research in-house, tools like Semrush or Similarweb can help.
Craft more relevant content
Craft more relevant content
A third major benefit of doing research to find SEO keywords (or investing in SEO keyword research services) is that it can help you craft more relevant content on your site.
One way to approach SEO is to write the content you want to write for your site, and then sprinkle in keywords to help it rank. But that’s not the best way to go about it. If your keywords aren’t relevant to your content, no one will click on it — if it ranks at all.
The best approach involves coming up with your keywords first, and then building your content pieces around them. When you do it that way, you ensure that your content fulfills user search intent — that is, the reason users search for the keywords to begin with.
In short, SEO keyword research helps your content give users what they’re looking for in their searches, thereby bringing in more relevant traffic that’s more likely to convert.
