You have spent days coming up with a great article, a product page, or a Google Ads Campaign for your beauty products. It has been more than a week and you are still not getting any clicks to your Ads or any Organic Traffic.
What is the problem? You are probably not using the right keywords to target which could not have any volume.
In this post, we are going to go over some for the best keywords you can use for your beauty products. This will apply for both organic traffic and paid media.
Breaking up your keywords
The first step to finding the right keywords for your beauty product is to divide your audience into two segments. The researcher and the buyer.
The reason we do this is to better understand the individual and not just make sure we have the keywords to match their search but that the content is also relevant.
Normally a buyers persona will search for keywords with the below terms in mind:
- best
- top
- reviews
- price
- discount
- promo
- buy
Then there is a researcher who isn’t ready to make a purchase. These are still great individuals to target as it helps grow your brand. Normally their terms are questions as they are still deciding on what it is they need. Their keywords will normally include the below terms:
- how
- what is
- can
Choosing the best beauty product keyword
Choosing the best keywords to target will vary on multiple factors.
For example, if you are deciding on keywords that you will use in a Google Ads campaign, you want to make sure that there is plenty of volume and people are searching for your terms. Once you have determined volume, you then want to see the competition and the estimated spend on each keyword. Depending on your budget you might be limited to certain keywords that will not deplete your account quickly but can still lead to sales.
With organic traffic, especially in a competitive industry such as beauty products, we normally look for long-tail keywords. The volume you receive from long-tail can be less, but it can also be easier to rank for. And the more you can rank for the more traffic you will receive.
