Keyword research: intent over volume
High search volume keywords often carry weak commercial intent - broad informational searches that rarely convert - while lower-volume, specific terms frequently convert at a much higher rate for actual business results.
This guide covers finding the keywords that actually drive business outcomes, not just traffic numbers.
Why traffic volume alone is a misleading metric
Ranking for a high-volume but low-intent keyword can generate impressive traffic numbers that convert poorly, while a lower-volume but high-intent term - someone actively searching to buy - converts at a meaningfully higher rate.
We prioritize keyword research around genuine commercial intent, not vanity traffic metrics.
