1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,001
- [Narrator] I'm getting ready to buy a car,
2
00:00:03,001 --> 00:00:05,009
but if I simply search for the word "car,"
3
00:00:05,009 --> 00:00:07,007
I'm not telling you much.
4
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,003
It's a very general term,
5
00:00:09,003 --> 00:00:11,003
and it could mean thousands of things.
6
00:00:11,003 --> 00:00:12,006
You don't know if I'm interested
7
00:00:12,006 --> 00:00:15,003
in new or used, buying or leasing,
8
00:00:15,003 --> 00:00:18,006
and even the search results are all over the place.
9
00:00:18,006 --> 00:00:21,002
This is why looking at individual words
10
00:00:21,002 --> 00:00:24,003
or very general words can be deceiving.
11
00:00:24,003 --> 00:00:26,006
While the word "cars" is searched on the most
12
00:00:26,006 --> 00:00:28,009
of (laughs) any word in the car category,
13
00:00:28,009 --> 00:00:32,005
it offers very little in terms of relevance.
14
00:00:32,005 --> 00:00:34,006
We honestly don't know what the searcher means
15
00:00:34,006 --> 00:00:37,000
with this single word search.
16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,004
It could be a BMW.
17
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:39,005
It could be a local dealer.
18
00:00:39,005 --> 00:00:42,002
It could be a kid looking for a poster for their room.
19
00:00:42,002 --> 00:00:45,004
The only way to get intent is to look for more words.
20
00:00:45,004 --> 00:00:46,006
So, when someone searches
21
00:00:46,006 --> 00:00:50,003
for low-mileage, used BMW in Springfield,
22
00:00:50,003 --> 00:00:52,001
now we get the intent.
23
00:00:52,001 --> 00:00:54,008
We get the where, what, and the brand,
24
00:00:54,008 --> 00:00:57,000
and now that we can work with.
25
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,003
The more words used in a search phrase,
26
00:00:59,003 --> 00:01:01,006
the more intent that it communicates.
27
00:01:01,006 --> 00:01:04,001
When you know the intent, you can use those words
28
00:01:04,001 --> 00:01:08,001
to optimize, label, and integrate into your content.
29
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:12,000
It starts by making a seed list of search terms.
30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,008
A seed list is, oh, about 10 to 15 words or phrases
31
00:01:15,008 --> 00:01:17,009
that describe your business.
32
00:01:17,009 --> 00:01:18,008
In this course,
33
00:01:18,008 --> 00:01:22,001
I'm going to use the example site of Explore California,
34
00:01:22,001 --> 00:01:25,005
and I'm going to start my seed list simply by describing
35
00:01:25,005 --> 00:01:28,007
the tours, products, and services that they offer.
36
00:01:28,007 --> 00:01:33,000
It's mainly hiking, backpacking, biking, and nature tours.
37
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,007
Think about these words from the standpoint of the searcher.
38
00:01:35,007 --> 00:01:37,003
What are they looking for?
39
00:01:37,003 --> 00:01:38,003
Then, look at your list
40
00:01:38,003 --> 00:01:42,004
and see how the searches progress from simple to lengthy.
41
00:01:42,004 --> 00:01:45,000
The progression shows us how searchers may modify
42
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,001
or adapt their search and refine their term
43
00:01:48,001 --> 00:01:50,003
in order to get the results they need.
44
00:01:50,003 --> 00:01:52,008
The progression will also show you the stages
45
00:01:52,008 --> 00:01:54,006
of a searcher's thinking.
46
00:01:54,006 --> 00:01:55,006
Start by asking,
47
00:01:55,006 --> 00:01:59,001
"What non-branded searches bring people to my site?"
48
00:01:59,001 --> 00:02:02,002
Then, "Do those searches lead to other searches?"
49
00:02:02,002 --> 00:02:03,000
In my list,
50
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
I'm starting with a general search, California hiking,
51
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,002
and it can lead to many other detailed searches.
52
00:02:09,002 --> 00:02:11,002
Now, I call this the Disney effect.
53
00:02:11,002 --> 00:02:14,004
You see, people start by searching for a Disney vacation,
54
00:02:14,004 --> 00:02:16,003
and that leads to searches
55
00:02:16,003 --> 00:02:20,002
about flights, hotels, restaurants, what to do,
56
00:02:20,002 --> 00:02:23,007
what to see, what's nearby, and other recommendations.
57
00:02:23,007 --> 00:02:27,001
One search triggers dozens of other searches
58
00:02:27,001 --> 00:02:30,006
throughout the life cycle of that search phrase.
59
00:02:30,006 --> 00:02:33,007
In this way, work through the needs of your prospect.
60
00:02:33,007 --> 00:02:36,005
What need triggers their initial search?
61
00:02:36,005 --> 00:02:38,000
Is your product that search,
62
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,005
or is it the result of other searches?
63
00:02:40,005 --> 00:02:43,001
Are there other triggers that start their progression
64
00:02:43,001 --> 00:02:46,000
and how they work their way to your product?
65
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,002
Here's your assignment.
66
00:02:47,002 --> 00:02:51,006
Come up with a seed list of 15 to 20 non-branded keywords
67
00:02:51,006 --> 00:02:54,003
that you think people use to find your website.
68
00:02:54,003 --> 00:02:56,002
This is based on their need.
69
00:02:56,002 --> 00:02:58,000
How would people find you?
