Hello Black Hat World

Hi my name is Lemon.

I'm hoping to learn a lot about SEO on this forum I can see there is a lot of references to read.

Currently trying to figure out what keywords i should use for my Digital Services website.

Anyone got any recommendations on what to read?

Thanks,

Lemon

Sounds good. What does your digital services company do?

Hey Lemon, and welcome to BHW. As far as keywords, I always start by conducting a Competitive Keyword Analysis through Semrush or Ahrefs. I enter my top 3-5 competitors, review which keywords they're ranking for, the competitiveness of the keyword, and then decide if I'm going to tackle any of those keywords. From there, I might also conduct a deep dive by using KWfinder to identify some of the long tail keywords associated with the keywords found in Semrush/Ahrefs. I always target low competition KWs to get my rankings ignited. I progress to higher competitive KWs as I rank and gain authority........ There's a lot more tied to this (such as competitive site analysis), but I gave you the bird's eye view of my approach.

Thanks for that info, was a little confused on which level of "competition" keywords i should go with. Web design is very high competition so I think I need to do quite a bit of research.

Web design is very competitive niche, so you need to invest a lot of money and time to get result here. But you can use some alternative ways to get your customers, such as freelance sites: upwork, fiverr etc. Maybe, then you won't need Google ;-)
