Did you know your brand’s conversion rate is directly correlated with your SEO keyword research and strategy? Many companies are leveraging SEO research to build engaging websites and blog content. They don’t realize how closely their SEO and content strategies operate to grow awareness and drive sales for a business.
Not entirely sure how your content and SEO can team up to drive more conversions on your website? We’re covering the latest in this post!
SEO Keyword Research & Its Impact on Conversions
Regardless of what your site’s conversion rate is (how many users complete a specific action on your website), SEO keyword research plays a critical role. This is in how well your site performs, its ranking in the SERPs and how many people visit your website.
The master of content and SEO, Hubspot, takes a unique approach in recommending a CRO (conversion rate optimization) strategy. This may or may not align and collaborates with your site’s SEO strategy. This strategy involves optimizing the content, buttons, usability, and structure of a website to ensure it’s properly designed and functional for your target audience.
This can be done on the following pages of a website:
- Home page—Linking to product information, free signup buttons, and live chatbots
- Pricing page—Popup forms, pricing intervals, and including a phone number for a quote
- Blog—CTAs throughout every post, leveraging lead magnets to download, newsletter signups
- CTAs—A/B testing different language in CTAs to target different stages of the customer journey
- Landing pages—Stick to one goal per page, use bullet points, minimize navigation to other pages
- Forms—Make it easy to sign up with minimal form fields and provide instant feedback (“Thanks for signing up!”)
While overhauling your website is a gargantuan task, modifying it for conversion rate optimization using the SEO best practices (that we listed above) is much more manageable. In doing so, you’re optimizing your site to do three things. Be a more user-friendly, to perform better in the SERPs, and to drive more traffic to your product or service pages. It’s a win-win-win!
Keyword Research and SEO in 2025
In 2025, keyword research will be extremely user-focused and will emphasize voice search more than ever. Because of this, brands have to start incorporating more long-tail keywords into their strategy in order to compete in any space.
Brands are also focused on ranking in position zero in the search results. Where users don’t have to click on a link to find the information they’re searching for; their question is answered on the search results page itself.
Optimizing your content to appear in this zero-click search area is in high demand this year. We expect to see new strategies unfold that can increase the likelihood of brands ranking there.
