Service
Keyword research services that match real buyers
Search volume tells you what people type, not who is ready to hire. We build keyword lists around the words customers use when they need work done, then sort them so each term has a home on your site.
Intent before volume
A search for how a water heater works and a search for water heater replacement near me come from very different people. We label each term by intent so you know which ones deserve a service page and which belong in a guide.
We also collect the longer, question-style prompts that people give to assistants, because those shape the answers you want to appear in.
The research output
- A spreadsheet of terms grouped by service, area and intent.
- Volume and competition notes, used as hints rather than gospel.
- A mapping of each cluster to a current page, a page to merge or a page to create.
- Local variations, including neighborhood names and nearby towns.
- A short list of questions suited to FAQ sections.
Local variations deserve their own pass
The same service is searched differently from one town to the next. Locals use nicknames for neighborhoods, nearby cities and regional terms for the same job. Missing those means missing real searches.
We check how the terms behave in each area you serve and note where one page can cover several towns and where a separate page is justified.

Will the list change?
Yes. We recommend a refresh when you add a service or enter a new area.
