What are purchase intent keywords you ask?

Purchase intent keywords: action based terms searchers use when ready to buy products or services TWEET.

Examples are 'buy, 'purchase', 'order'. Local keywords are used as well.

Keywords with purchase intent vary by industry. A health clinic would benefit from targeting words such as 'treatments', 'relieve', 'cure'.

Purchase intent searches don't always have the high traffic associated with bigger head terms but they are highly targeted to driving searchers to your website when they are ready to buy.

How do you go about finding these gems?

Let's say you are an exterminator. You can see in the table below that there's great traffic volume around these terms, however, these tend to be more competitive and generic in nature. We shouldn't deal with those more competitive broader terms.

    I’m completely agree with your topic. If you are dealing with local eCommerce company, then one must have to target long tail with local version. And that keyword set can give you huge benefits in coming days.

      Michael, I also liked Craig’s idea of going hyper local. Works best for larger cities, of course.
