Business growth mini-course
Keyword Research for Businesses
Find the search terms your customers actually use—and turn them into a prioritized plan for pages, content, leads, and revenue. Learn a business-first research system that replaces guesswork with clear decisions.
Course overview
Research keywords as business opportunities—not just search volumes.
This practical course teaches you how to discover customer language, interpret intent, evaluate real competition, and choose keywords that support business goals. You will learn when a lower-volume phrase is more valuable than a broad popular term—and how to explain that decision.
By the end, you will have a prioritized keyword opportunity map, a page plan, and a repeatable workflow for future products, services, locations, and content campaigns.
