As the world moves more and more online, a new language has emerged. No, I’m not talking LOL, OMG or BRB, I’m talking the language of keywords, and how our keyword choices change based on a buyers intent, and on how we’re searching. For example, did you know people who use searches on mobile devices use fewer words and city names in their search query much more frequently than desktop users? Why? Because typing on mobile devices is difficult, and more often not, location based. In this post we’re going to take a closer look at how keywords change based on buyer behavior, let’s get to it.
