Pre-GTM / Research — Keyword Research

A keyword is evidence of a question, not just a volume number.

Useful keyword research asks how your ICP searches for you, why they use those terms, and what they need to understand before your product makes sense.

The transformation

A search map grounded in audience intent, language, and the education your product actually requires.

01 — The hindrance

Search volume without buyer context creates shallow priorities.

A list of popular terms does not explain the language your audience uses or the problem they are trying to solve.

It also misses the knowledge gap that must be filled before a buyer reaches an aha moment with your product.

02 — The alternative

Read search behaviour as a route to understanding.

Connect ICP language, buyer journey, domain talking points, and the most useful points of entry.

Use those insights to help people achieve their goals rather than forcing every term into a content calendar.
