Open up your favourite web browser and go to google.com

In the search bar, type in the product that you sell or the service that you offer.

For example, if you sell flowers, type in flowers.

You’ll notice the auto complete text appears to right of your text and the first ones that currently show up are:

--flowers online

--flowers by post

--flowers in the attic

You’ll not want to get traffic for the keyword “flowers in the attic” as that’s a made for TV movie, which is actually quite good.

These are short tail keywords and if you sell flowers, you’ll notice that if your shop doesn’t already sell flowers online, then you should be, as it’s the top keyword.

Keep typing and complete the keyword, flowers online.

These are keywords that you should be using if your shop sells flowers online. If your website has a blog, you should be writing about the types of flowers you have for sale in the UK that are available for online delivery. Which flowers are suitable for Weddings and which flowers are suitable for Funerals.

If you are in the flower business, this is a great help.

Customise the search terms for your own business.

If you look at the results page, you will see all the different companies that are showing up organically in the search results and you will also see all of the companies that are using Google Adwords to advertise the various flowers that they have for sale.

Look at the advertisements at the top and on the right hand side of the results page. You can get great ideas from your competitors.

In the middle of the page, the organic results will give you some more fantastic keyword ideas, such as “Order Online” “Free Flower Delivery” “Cheap Flowers in the UK”, “Order & Send Online” and so on.
