There’s been a lot of confusion expressed about what SEO really is. The definition above is technically correct but it doesn’t clarify what so many are getting so wrong.

So I thought you might like to check out some other posts in which I address some of the misconceptions about SEO

I hate it when people say keyword research doesn’t matter

SEO is not a 4 letter word

I agree about your point don’t worry, keywords are definitely really important as well!

My problem with surveys is that people often say one thing and do another. Glenn Livingston has done a tremendous amount of research on how to use surveys effectively. I like his work a lot.

Though a well constructed survey can tell you a lot, you still need to know what keywords people are using before you even begin.

What is clear is that the uncertainty means that researching a business’ market has never been more important.

These tools are good but have some limitations indeed. Another thing that is called “Online Market Research” is online surveys. DIY online surveys will be free so good to use but it may be hard to question your target market.
Using an agency is definitely more efficient and faster to collect relevant feedback and information from your core target and it is not that expensive! A pity that many entrepreneurs don’t do it – not least because of the supposed cost.

Starting a business? Launching a new product or service?
Test the market first!
