Ok so I'm reading all the forum threads on Search Engine Optimization and keep coming across the phrase "use keywords" which is what I'm working on right now on my website.

Would anybody like to share what they use for keywords on their website besides Virtual Assistant and some of the other obvious ones. When people are searching for a VA what keywords do you think they type in first? I'm thinking online secretary, work from home professionals ect ect....I'd love to everyone's idea on this one

When I had a professional site I was aware of searches on -

virtual + any of the following:
secretary
administration
office
assistance
support
help

Also,
remote professional

offsite +
assistance
help
assistant

And any combination of the above that you can imagine.

Also, lots of searches for
'find virtual assistant'
'professional virtual assistant'
'virtual administration'

Unfortunately there isn't much variation on the 'virtual assistant' angle, but maybe someone else has some input to offer based on their own experience.

I think this is where niching/industry focus becomes particularly important - working in keywords that will narrow your own focus and will also help internet searchers find you for a specific need (ie - editing services, public relations, real estate, etc.)

Could you please describe how you did this? I've had a look with Google searches but think I'm doing the wrong thing.

open google and type in keyword generator. It brings up a page where you can either type in a few words yourself and it will give you more OR you can link it to your website and it will scan it and come up with a list.
