Understanding how people talk about and search for your products or services can help you make your content easier to find. Look at the list of terms people have entered into your site’s search engine and ask yourself 3 questions:

  2. Are the common ways people search for content producing desirable and relevant results? (Hint: Try searching for them yourself)
