It doesn’t matter what medium you use. You need to be cognizant of the words that are associated with your brand. Sit down and make a list of everything that relates to your business. Make it long. Once your list is complete, eliminate anything mundane. Ordinary words like “service and “experience” aren’t going to help you as a keyword. They’re boring and overused. Try to invent words. Base keywords around your current campaign. Circle words & phrases that describe you; words that people would never confuse for someone else. These are ideal.

Use them absolutely everywhere until you actually own those words. Make your competitors fear using them in their advertising. Use them consistently in everything you do for one good reason.

It will make you memorable. It will also arm your customers with words that will help them find you. Those words will be plastered all over your search engine optimization. Your brand will deepen and you’ll make more money.

Find your keywords, and you’ll find your target clients.
