Search engine marketing is Pull Marketing. Here prospective customers start looking for product / service / solutions  and provider  which is you has to be present at the right time with the right communication matching the prospects requirements. Therefore in the world of search engine marketing, pay-per-click  or adwords as it is popularly known, everything is about Keywords. Keywords are what define the users intent and it is this intent which is to be attended to. The process begins by understanding the search habits of the target audience. From a prospects perspective there are many ways a search query can be initiated and this depends on the prospects stage in the buying cycle. Broadly we can categorise keywords on the basis of buying cycle as follows : Interest phase, Research phase and Buying or decision making phase.

Interest phase targeting

Here end users do not have any info about product and want to just gather knowledge and thereby move to the next stage.

Research phase

In this phase he progresses to seek information like size, shape, colour, varieties, technology and features, reviews, Q & A etc.

Buying phase

Finally having decided what he / she wants the user seeks the best provider, at this point conversion rates kick in.
