Hey, guys!  Can someone help me out here?Hey, guys! Can someone help me out here? I'm not sure how I should approach low search volume keywords. For example, I was doing keyword research for a certain landing page, and almost all of the keywords related to it has 0-10 search volume. 2 things I'm trying to figure out: -Is this LP even worth it if its keywords are low search volume? -Should I go on, add these keywords, along with a few that have medium search volume, in Google Ads to do PPC advertising? Thanks!

There is no universal answer to this. It depends on the situation. If I was selling something that sold for $1, I wouldn't bother with such keywords. On the other hand, I have a client that sells products that each sell for $50-75, 000. For them, some of their biggest moneymakers are keywords that only bring a few visitors per month.

Hey, Mike! What was your approach? I mean, you conducted keyword research and added some promising terms, and then you guessed some low/non-existing search volume keywords and they paid off?

@millda With most clients, my approach is that we go after every keyword that a potential customer or client might use to find the client or buy something they are selling. Anything we are unsure about, we usually run AdWords for a few weeks or longer to collect data.

Right! Every keyword regardless of search volume. Then check out performance and optimize. Thanks, Mike!

Depends on niche info also. For new niches, keywords will show low volumes while nomenclature is being established.

It seems like something a PPC campaign could answer. But if that isn't possible due to niche, it could be worth it if: E*4*X*A is > 2*Yearly SEO Campaign Cost Where E is estimated clicks, X is Conversion rate and A is Average sale amount. Reason for 4 is first place get's about 1/3 the clicks, and then we multiply by 12 for yearly. Reason for 2x is to justify risk.
