Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about keyword research
How long does keyword research take?
A full keyword research project usually takes 2 to 4 weeks depending on the size of your service catalogue and how competitive your industry is. You will get an interim priority list within the first week.
Do I need keyword research if I already rank for some terms?
Yes. Most businesses rank accidentally for a small set of terms while missing the highest converting keywords entirely. Keyword research uncovers what you are leaving on the table.
Will you research keywords for AI search and ChatGPT?
Yes. We map prompts and conversational queries used inside ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews so your content is built for both traditional search and AI answer engines.
Do you provide content writing as part of keyword research?
Keyword research is its own deliverable, but every priority keyword comes with a content brief so your team or ours can execute against it without guesswork.
How is keyword research different to SEO?
Keyword research is the foundation. SEO is the system you build on top of it. Without strong keyword research, technical SEO and link building amplify the wrong terms.
