Keyword Research Services for Copywriters
SEO keyword research and analysis for copywriters and small business owners.
Find keywords that help bring the right customers to your clients’ websites.
You want your website projects to be found in Google searches, but you don’t have time or know-how to figure out which keywords you should be optimising.
My SEO keyword research services give you the data you need to make the best keyword decisions for your website copy.
When you’re trying to get some wins in the Google search machine, you know it’s important to make sure your copy is well optimised for the right keywords. But if keyword research is your least favourite part of writing website copy, I can take it right off your to-do list.
My signature SEO keyword research helps copywriters speak to the heart of their readers (and the heart of the search engine algorithms).
As a fellow copywriter, I know how frustrating it is to get a list of keywords that have no context, no hope of ranking or worse yet, don’t even match the content messages your client asked you to write about.
But that’s not what you get with me. I take my copywriting knowledge and combine it with my SEO research expertise to come up with a list of keywords that are:
- relevant
- workable
- have an actual chance of kicking SERP goals
Keywords are the foundation of any good SEO strategy
Knowing what search terms your audience is looking for and optimising website pages to try to rank for them is the basis of any good SEO strategy. But there are plenty of other benefits to investing in keyword research.
Discover competitors
Learn who your competitors really are – you’ll see who’s at the top of the rankings for the keywords your customers use.
Review ranking content
See what type of content is ranking #1 for the search terms you want – so you can write something better.
Get content ideas
Find new content ideas – so you can write blog posts about the topics your customers want to know.

What you get in my keyword research spreadsheet
My keyword research isn’t a random list of words and phrases with no advice on where to use them or what data led your SEO provider to choose them. I give you a comprehensive spreadsheet with keywords mapped to each website pages in your brief (up to 7 website pages included).
My keyword research spreadsheet includes:
- 20+ keyword or phrase suggestions (usually a lot more, depending on your industry)
- recommendations on where to use your keywords
- one focus keyword recommendation for each website page (up to 7 website pages included)
- secondary keyword suggestions where relevant (up to 7 website pages included)
- monthly search volume for each keyword
- a difficulty score to show how competitive the keyword is to rank organically
- the URL of the #1 ranking website for each keyword (hello, competitors I didn’t know about)
PLUS
If I find any interesting ideas for blog topics or other main website pages while I’m doing my research, I’ll include those as well. (Cha-ching for bonus blog post ideas!)
My keyword research process
Once you’ve decided to book my keyword research services, here’s what’ll happen:
- I’ll confirm my next available start date
- I’ll send you my keyword research briefing form so you can tell me all about your website project
- I’ll send you an invoice for your project
- You’ll return your briefing form and pay the invoice (I can’t begin work on your keywords without these)
- I’ll use professional keyword research tools to analyse current rankings, competitors’ rankings and dig around to find the best keyword opportunities for your website
- I’ll send your keyword research spreadsheet 1 to 2 weeks* after starting work
- You’ll have all the keyword guidance you need to write optimised website copy
* It usually takes about 1 week to complete your research, but for more complicated industries or projects, it can take up to 2 weeks or more. I’ll keep you informed if I expect a delay in returning your keywords to you.
