Keyword Research Basics for a Small Business, No Fancy Tools Required

Keyword research sounds technical, but at its core it's just figuring out the exact words your customers actually type into Google. You don't need expensive software to start.

Start with what customers actually say

The exact phrases customers use on the phone or in person, not the industry terms you use internally, are usually the real search terms worth targeting.

Google's own autocomplete is free research

Typing a partial search into Google and looking at what it suggests, along with the "people also ask" section, gives real insight into related searches without paying for a tool.
