There are a lot of keywords that we don’t want to show up for, that we might accidentally if not specifically stating otherwise. One of the ways that Google ranks SEO is time spent on a page and amount of pages visited. If you’re showing up for irrelevant search terms, you’re not giving value.Some of the keyword searches we do not want to show up for:Amazon. We do not want to show up for anything to do with ‘Amazon’. If somebody is typing ‘Amazon’, they want to shop on Amazon. App. Unless you have an app.Article. You don’t want to show up when somebody is typing ‘article’ because they are not at the bottom of the funnel, and their search has very little buying intent.Here are a few additional keywords you want to ensure you don’t show up for:Benefit/s, blog/s, books, blow-outs, cheap, cheapest, clear-outs (unless you’re running some clear-outs website), closeout, code, coupon code, deal-of-the-week, deal-of-the-day, deals, discount, discount codes, price shoppers, negative reviews, good reviews, comparisons, Amazon reviews, Advice.As an eCommerce brand, we also don’t want to show up for location-based searches, unless you have retail locations on that location.Connect with Jordan here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-west-marketer/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordantwestecomGet 5 Offers for 2 Products (10 in total) along with 10 highly engaging tried and true creatives, 30 captivating headlines, descriptions, and ad texts sent to you for only $99.
