Know the words your customers use

Most websites are written in the language of the business, not the customer. Keyword research shows how people really search for what you do, how often, and how hard each search is to win.

You get a clear, prioritised plan written for business owners, not SEO specialists. Use it to update your own website, brief a copywriter, or hand it to us to put into action.

FAQ

Keyword research questions

The detail behind our keyword research service. If your question isn't here, just ask.

Is keyword research still worth doing?

Yes. Search results keep changing, but people still type words into Google. Knowing which words, how often they're used and what the searcher wants is still the foundation of every page that ranks.

Can I use the research myself?

That's the idea. Your report is written for business owners, with a clear priority list and the page each keyword belongs on. Use it to update your own website, brief a copywriter, or hand it to us.

What will I receive?

A keyword report with search volumes, difficulty and intent, plus a prioritised action plan. Rigg and Fell also include a keyword-to-page plan, a step-by-step guide and 14 days of email and phone support.

How long does it take?

Usually five to seven working days from receiving your completed questionnaire.

Do you need access to my website?

No. If you have Google Search Console set up, read-only access helps us see what you're already found for, but it isn't essential.

Which areas can you research?

Anywhere in the UK. Most of our clients serve Carlisle and Cumbria, so we know the local search landscape well, from Penrith and Keswick to Workington and Kendal.

How is this different from your SEO service?

Keyword research is a one-off plan that you keep. Our monthly SEO plans include keyword research, then do the work for you, month after month.
