Keyword Targeting

What is keyword targeting?

Keyword targeting is the process of specifically aligning ads or content with the target audience’s specific search terms. In Google Ads, match types (exact, phrase, broad) determine which search queries trigger an ad. In SEO, keyword targeting is achieved through site architecture and content. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we take an intent-driven approach: not every high-volume term is relevant to us, but every term that aligns with our offering needs a dedicated landing page, otherwise, pages will cannibalize each other.
