As you whittle down your raw data keyword list it is important to get into the mind of your audience as much as possible. As you do this, you’ll often find that many keywords or phrases have multiple meanings. Phrases that you might use within your industry may not be the phrases the layman uses. In your research you must determine the particular meaning of a phrase as it’s used by the common searcher.
