Better Keyword Research Processes
Apply Data to Your Content Strategy
Your audience is searching for your products or services.
The vast majority of consumers use search engines to discover products, services, and businesses.
Paid search includes the pay-per-click (PPC) Ads that appear at the top of Google search results.
Organic search results are earned. You cannot buy the first position, but with an effective SEO campaign you can outrank your rivals and work your way to the front.
Building a rich tapestry of content on your website signals Google and other search engines that your organization is relevant and credible.
Keyword research services begin with a thorough audit of your current content, competitive analysis, and keyword mapping.
Valve+Meter uses a wide array of tools and techniques to transform your content and your entire website into an SEO-friendly, high-performing lead magnet.
Define Your Project
Whether you have an existing website you wish to audit or you are planning a new website project, the first step in keyword research is a discovery process.
Valve+Meter works with you to define your current situation and the goals of your website.
You will quickly realize that we are not a typical marketing company. We believe in building relationships and an SEO strategy that benefits you season after season.
All of our strategies follow our ThinkFirst™ approach. This proven process helps identify your strengths and weaknesses, and find new opportunities to achieve your goals.
By understanding your organization and goals, our SEO experts are better equipped to execute an effective keyword research campaign.
Research and Planning
Dedicated SEO strategists work diligently on your project. SEO and keyword research demands passion, skill, and experience. We blend the analytically minded precision of our strategists with the creativity of our copywriters, designers, and artists.
Applying our tools and skills, Valve+Meter’s team of keyword and SEO specialists maximize the scope, scale, and impact of your content. Our data-driven process enhances your website and helps your great content reach a wider audience.
In the first phase, Valve+Meter keyword research specialists review all pages on your site.
Many website design and marketing companies build websites around core slogans and often minimal content. Our team collects this initial set of seed keywords to serve as the foundation of your SEO strategy. These primary keywords should appear in URLs, page titles, and meta descriptions of your primary service and product pages.
To build authority with search engines and your target audience, your website needs to include supporting pages, such as blogs, case studies, white papers, and subpages. These pages focus on related keywords.
As well as performing a keyword audit, our experts analyze the best keywords to deploy across new content.
A keyword audit then delves deep past these keyword terms into the site architecture of your website. Beyond the volume of keywords on your site, we examine how your keywords are being used.
Every search algorithm updates with greater sophistication. If you are relying on random blogs and sporadic distribution of keywords across your website, then you will lose ground to smarter competitors.
A complete keyword audit examines the relationship of your website pages. Topic grouping, pillar-based page structure, skyscraper content, as well as, hub-and-spoke methods link relevant content through internal linking.
Once your internal forensic audit is complete, our strategists perform online research to find keywords that your target audience is actively searching for. Our keyword research process studies search engine results pages for your primary keywords and all keywords related to your website. Our technology helps to identify keywords and the intent behind these search queries.
Implement Strategy
At the end of the research and planning phase, our SEO services compile a keyword strategy to optimize existing content and implement a content-building strategy to add new keywords to your site.
Backed by empirical evidence and clear reporting, your keyword strategy includes actionable data to drive traffic from the first page of Google to your website.
SEO strategies include a number of techniques to improve on-Page SEO, off-Page SEO, technical SEO, and conversion rate optimization.
Keyword research is an essential component of your broader SEO strategy.
While your long-term goal is unique, the primary impact of our strategy is to attract more organic leads through search results and convert more leads into buyers.
Keyword research and SEO are ongoing strategies.
Because audience behavior changes, algorithms update, and competitors add new content to the internet, your keyword research campaign must adapt and grow.
Data drives strategy, which provides clear reporting on the performance of every action.
With accurate tracking and results, Valve+Meter can optimize, adapt, and scale your SEO strategy to continually improve and earn top results in search engine rankings.
Let's Apply Math to Your Content?
The internet is filled with billions of voices and businesses crying out to be heard! Amid the din, Valve+Meter uses research to amplify your content marketing and stand out from competitors.
Keyword Statistics
Understanding Your Audience
The data is clear: People are sophisticated when using search engines. Google is over 20 years old. Nearly 100% of Millenials and all of Gen Z audiences grew up using Google. Baby Boomers and Gen X audiences have spent much of their professional lives interacting with the internet. Outdated keyword strategies no longer work to attract new audiences and rank on Google.

On-Page Optimization
The keyword research process identifies the right keywords to target for individual pages on your site. On-page SEO uses analytical tools to add the given keyword and semantically related phrases to those pages.
Optimization refers to the written content, images, graphics, layout, meta data, and internal link structure of the page. The process includes:
- Revise copywriting including headings and page titles to align with keyword mapping.
- Optimize service and product pages with targeted transactional and commercial keywords.
- Optimize blogs and other content with informational keywords.
- Update meta descriptions.
- Redirect pages with duplicate content to primary services pages.
- Optimize site navigation, menus, and internal link structure to improve user experience.
- Identify competitive gaps and keyword strategy opportunities.
- Develop a calendar to create new service pages focused on keyword gaps and long-tail keyword opportunities.
SEO Content Audit
For existing content marketing, including blogs, case studies, and thought leadership, auditing the usability of these web pages improves search engine optimization.
Keyword research services analyze the strengths and weaknesses of your existing content. For many websites, blogs lack structure and keyword focus, and often suffer from duplicate content issues.
An SEO content audit organizes your blogs and other digital marketing web pages by topic grouping. Our proprietary analytical processes optimize this content to improve keyword performance. This process includes:
- Optimizing on-page keywords on high-performing pages
- Optimizing internal link structure between related pages using natural links
- Redirecting duplicate content to highest performing pages
- Identifying content gaps in content
- Developing a calendar to create new content in accordance with keyword planner

Earn More Organic Traffic
Why is Keyword Research Essential for Your SEO?
The keyword research process informs all other factors within search engine optimization. Many elements that compose effective copywriting include strong technical SEO, optimal user experience, and dynamic visual design. But the importance of keyword research to earning your share of organic traffic cannot be overstated.
Keywords are the bedrock of all SEO strategies for the following reasons:
Reach your target audience
Keyword tools identify the search terms your prospects are searching in Google. When your content includes these specific keywords, then you are more likely to appear in searches.
Understand User Intent
You may know keywords that have a high monthly search volume but keyword research reveals the search intent. Using the right keywords on the corresponding web pages is vital to conversion rates and optimizing the buyer journey. Using informational keywords on landing pages, case studies, testimonials, and blogs engages prospects early in the sales cycle.
Transactional keywords and commercial keywords are valuable on service and product pages. Using keyword services verifies the intent behind specific keywords.
Improve the Relevance of Your Content
Strategic keyword placement helps increase the visibility of your most important web pages. Topic clusters help drive traffic to pages that feature branded or broad search terms. Our keyword mapping techniques improve Google search results for your overall domain and targeted service pages.
Increase Your Prominence
Stay ahead of competitors with fresh content and new keywords. Keyword research services monitor emerging phrases. Creating keyword lists and corresponding content calendars ensures your relevant content continues to grow and engage qualified traffic.
Earn Greater Credibility
Using a keyword planner to build your SEO campaign enables you to continuously optimize and add informative and engaging content. As your content gains prominence, users are more likely to share your blogs, thought leadership, case studies, white papers, and other content. Increased social shares, inbound links, and website traffic have long-lasting benefits for your credibility and domain authority.
