I got Google Search Console, now how do I decide what keywords to target?

I have a new service/brand that occupies a local niche in my city. My website gets traffic mostly from referral links, but I average about 50 organic google search visits a week to my website. When people google my company's name and service, they typically click on the platform where I sell my service (think TripAdvisor, Eventbrite, etc.) because those platforms have paid promotions that give them top of page results, which is fine for me, because I still get the sales, but I'm also interested in driving people directly to my website.

I just recently got google search console and I can see my performance on relevant keywords. My highest positions among keywords is position 8-10, and my highest CTR is 5-7%. My question is, what keywords should I target?

  • Should I go for keywords where I have a high position now and try to get a higher position?
  • Should I go for keywords where I don't have a high position and try to get a high position for my underperforming keywords?
  • Should I go for keywords with high impressions?
  • Should I focus instead on keywords with low impressions?
  • Is there a way to see a keyword's volume?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
