Keyword Research - Exact, Broad, Phrase
- SEO |
I really get confused from time to time when doing keyword research on how to interprete the Exact Match, Phrase and Broad values.
Now, if Google Adwords shows you for keyword X a value of 1'500 visitors with exact match enabled, 7'000 with phrase match enabled , and 10'000 with broad match enabled, how shall you interprete this data?
I mean, if you appear on the first page for 'real estate san jose' for example, you are definitely going to be on the first page for 'sell real estate san jose' as well, which would be a phrase and broad match keyword.
Of course it is clear to me, that it will depend on the content you'll put on for what other keywords you're going to rank as well. But if you're ranking for a 'major' keyword, then it's much easier to rank for a longer tail one as well.
So how do you usally interprete those three values? Do you only go for the exact match one to go for sure? Or do you kind of add 20% of the phrase/broad matches to the exact match value?
Curious about your opinion on this.
Cheers,
