Learn about SEO keywords and how you can use them to improve your search engine results.

What are keywords for SEO? Keywords are the words and phrases that people commonly type into Google and other search engines when looking for content.

According to Michigan Tech, when designing a website, you should identify a specific keyword phrase for each page. Ask yourself what would a person be searching for before landing on your web page. Keywords can be commonly searched terms that are not necessarily related.

Keywords used in keyword phrases often contradict themselves, however; grouping them together is beneficial in that it drives traffic to your site.

Meta data

Web pages have 3 meta data fields, meta title, meta description and meta keywords. The title is displayed at the top of your browser when viewing a web page and also the top line of search results on Google. The Meta description is displayed below the heading in Google search results and is your chance to include keywords as well as a compelling call to action to entice people to click on your result. The meta keyword field is a list of the keywords you are targeting on a page - Google no longer takes this into consideration when ranking pages, so this should be used for your own reference, if at all. Meta data is generally embedded through the content management system. SITE123's content management system helps create metadata automatically for your website.
