Comparing the Options for Start-Up Online Business' Keyword and Key Phrase Research

When it comes to determining all relevant keywords, should we attempt to do it ourselves or is it better to hire an experienced company or freelancers to perform this mission?

A number of related issues go into the answer to that core question. Here are some of the most significant of those related variables:

1. The extent to which you understand how to locate keywords and track down keywords that are closely related

2. The keyword software that you have at your disposal

3. Your skills at using the software

4. Your knowledge concerning determining which keywords are actually beneficial from a business perspective

5. Your budget

As you can see, all of these come down to what you know and how much money you have to dedicate to this part of your Internet business plan. I'll go into each of those a little more deeply

What You Must Understand

There is no aspect of online business that is more important than identifying appropriate keywords. Your list will form the basis of all of your search engine optimization efforts, your advertising campaigns (PPC and others), your copywriting and your article marketing efforts (as well as your other content syndication). The entire future of you business is directly related to the quality of your keyword research.

There are many tools available online. Some are free to use, such as Google's tool; others are not. You must be willing and able to use a mix of these resources in order to develop the most comprehensive list. You must study the keyword research software options.

Most of the tools are relatively easy to use, but the interpretation of your results can be difficult unless you have experience in doing so. Each keyword that you discover will not have the same value to you as every other keyword, and the number of searches for any given keyword does not automatically make that keyword of greater importance to you particular business than another keyword that draws much less traffic.

Money

I believe that even if your funds are limited, keyword research is so important that, if you are not capable of conducting and interpreting the study, this is a place to spend those precious financial resources. The expense of outsourcing keyword research is relatively small when it is compared to the potential benefit. I recommend that, if you do hire professionals for this task, that you make sure that they also do a competitive analysis of your industry or niche and offer advice concerning how to use the findings of the study to your competitive advantage.

Often keyword research is bundled into an overall search engine optimization (SEO) contract. Consequently, if you plan to invest in such a large scale purchase, there is usually no point in buying a keyword or niche research package as well. If you choose to go this route (contracting for an SEO package), be absolutely certain that your SEO company will be extremely thorough in its keyword research and that the complete keyword list is included in your report from that company.

Bottom line: You can do this task yourself if you already know a great deal about the process (or are willing to take the time to learn what you need to) and if you have the critical tools.
