Branding Your Company Using SEO Keywords
Company strategies to build brand image for its products and services are usually extensive efforts that boil down to use of a few significant words and phrases. This is a very similar process to keyword selection for use on the company web environment. Keywords attract new customers to the company web page, but identifying useful and effective ones can be a difficult process. However, a great deal of this work may already be found in the company branding strategy.
Keywords that attract internet readers to the company web page are just as important as the terms used to establish value and quality of the company brand. A company web page that appears as a highly placed result on a search engine results page can earn new sales for the website owner. Using the same brand attributes in the keyword message strategy can then attract customers when they search on line for product or service information relevant to the company product offering.
Including elements of the company branding strategy with keyword selection is a process that may turn out to be fairly simple. Still, it may require some “wordsmithing” to combine the two. Brand and keyword plans designed to attract readers to the company web pages can take a great deal of time, but the effort can yield significant results in terms of readers and new customers.
So what are the key elements of combining branding and keyword use? Here are three starting points. Product positioning “Uniqueness” Product features
Product positioning – Developing a succinct message statement about product or service value as well as a statement about where the product or service is available is a good start in positioning the brand and keyword strategy together. A phrase similar to ‘Low Cost SEO’ would apply to a consultant offering Search Engine Optimization services at below market rates. Phrases similar to ‘SEO Consultants in Denver’ describe a firm providing SEO services in the Denver, Colorado area. Product features such as ‘reduced cost’ or a geographic identifier can be included to make a keyword phrase more compatible with the organizational brand.
“Uniqueness” – Special value or a feature that sets the organization’s product or service apart is also a good place to build a keyword/brand message. This can also take very simple forms. Search terms such as “Water Utility Consultants” describe an organization that provides financial or business consulting services to a specific target business type – in this case – water service providers.
Product Features – Utilizing product characteristics are highly useful in both branding and in keyword development. Users searching the internet using terms like “Inexpensive French Food” might be attracted to a page using the keyword string “Quality French Food on a Budget.” The words “Quality” and “Budget” are useful both in the brand and keyword strategies and describe company and product attributes. Again, inclusion of a geographic term can also help further refine the brand and keyword search phrase so that it will attract traffic from potential customers in that area.
Organizations that have already compiled and implemented a brand building strategy may have already executed half the work in developing an effective keyword strategy. The message consistency generated by combining keywords and branding can also drive significant traffic and sales to the organization via the internet.
