Keyword Research for Small Business - Find What Your Customers Search

Keyword research sounds technical. It is actually simple: find what words your customers type into Google, then write articles around those words.

You do NOT need Ahrefs ($129/month) or SEMrush ($139/month).

The Small-Business-Friendly Method:

1. Google Autocomplete - Type your topic. Do not press Enter. Look at what Google suggests. Those are real searches.

2. People Also Ask - Search your topic. Scroll to this box. Each question is a keyword. Each deserves its own blog post.

3. Learn From Competitors - Find a competitor who ranks well. Use free Ubersuggest to see their keywords. Fill the gaps they missed.

4. Prioritize by Intent - A keyword with 100 searches and buying intent beats one with 10,000 searches and zero intent.

5. Write Immediately - Do not build a massive spreadsheet. Find 5 keywords, write 5 articles, publish, repeat. Use AI to do it in 60 seconds.
