As a result, mobile-driven traffic has increased significantly over the past years.<\/p>\n<p>For example, mobile SEO has become so important that Google now takes a mobile-first approach: The search engine giant predominantly relies on the mobile version of the content for indexing and ranking. This makes mobile\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/keyword-research-guide-for-seo\/\">keyword research<\/a>\u00a0even more important.<\/p>\n<p>However, our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/state-of-content-marketing\/\">recent report<\/a>\u00a0indicates that only 23% of marketers are optimizing their content for mobile. To gain an edge on your competition, you should develop two distinct SEO approaches \u2014 a desktop and mobile strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Search engines like Google and Bing use different algorithms for structuring mobile rankings versus desktop rankings. Why? They\u2019re trying to create a positive user experience. Mobile users tend to be on the go and require more immediacy.\u00a0A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/blog\/2020\/03\/announcing-mobile-first-indexing-for\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">mobile-specific approach<\/a>\u00a0will center around mobile keywords designed to meet the special needs of mobile users.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we explain just what we mean by \u201cmobile keywords\u201d and provide actionable tips on conducting mobile keyword research:<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header2\">What Is Mobile Keyword Research?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header3\">What Is the Difference Between Mobile SEO and Desktop SEO?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header4\">How Do I Conduct Mobile Keyword Research?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header11\">How to Do Mobile Keyword Research with Semrush<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header12\">Get More Insights Into Your SEO<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"header2\">What Is Mobile Keyword Research?<\/h2>\n<p>Mobile keyword research is used in search engine optimization to determine which keywords a mobile user might search for. Mobile searches are often more localized and specific.<\/p>\n<p>Before going further, a concrete example can help clarify the need for distinct desktop versus mobile keywords. This example also introduces some of the unique characteristics of mobile search terms.<\/p>\n<p>Say you\u2019re searching for hardware stores on your smartphone while running errands. You need to buy a hammer. The odds are that you\u2019re hoping to find a place nearby where you can get the equipment you need immediately. However, if you\u2019re casually browsing from home, the need is less pressing. How might this affect your search engine input?<\/p>\n<p>In the first instance, you might look up \u201chardware store + [neighborhood you\u2019re in]\u201d or \u201chardware store + [city].\u201d In the second instance, you might search for \u201cbuy a hammer.\u201d You don\u2019t necessarily care if you\u2019re getting the hammer from a nearby shop or not and could easily order it from a major eCommerce provider for delivery.<\/p>\n<p>As the above example makes clear, mobile users tend to be closer to the \u201ctransactional\u201d phase in the sales funnel \u2014 they have likely decided to buy a product or service and are looking for a way to get it.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile keyword research allows digital marketing experts, webmasters, and SEO professionals to step into the shoes of mobile users. As with most things SEO, mobile keyword research isn\u2019t a guessing game \u2014 it\u2019s a science that\u2019s driven by concrete data.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile keyword research is the process of using SEO tools and technology to determine which keywords are likely to perform well in mobile search, attracting organic search traffic and resulting in conversions. It encompasses keyword difficulty (KD), search volume, ranking position, estimated organic traffic, and more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"s-features__div\">\n<form class=\"s-features js-try-now js-try-now-auth\" action=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/\" method=\"POST\" data-login=\"true\" data-tools=\"siteaudit\" data-callback=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/analytics\/keywordmagic\/start?utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_medium=cta1&amp;utm_campaign=keyword%20research&amp;utm_content=mobile%20keyword%20ranking\" data-pattern-type=\"domain\" data-ga-category=\"Blog_revenue\" data-ga-action=\"create_campaign_siteaudit\" data-error=\"\">\n<div class=\"s-features__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"s-features__inner\">\n<div class=\"s-features__form\">\n<div class=\"s-input-group\">\n<div class=\"cta-trigger\">\n<h2 class=\"cta-control\"><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\">What Is the Difference Between Mobile SEO &amp; Desktop SEO?<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mobile searches tend to have a high click-through-rate (CTR) and low cost-per-click (CPC). Strategic investment in mobile SEO can thus reap big rewards for companies that know how to leverage mobile keyword research.<\/p>\n<p>In general, mobile keywords are shorter than desktop keywords because mobile users don\u2019t want to type as much. Mobile users may also rely more on voice-driven search. They are often walking or driving, relying on voice commands to utilize their mobile device safely.<\/p>\n<p>Further, mobile searchers are more likely to make typos since it\u2019s harder to type clearly on a small screen than on a keyboard. Finally, mobile queries tend to be more local.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to effective mobile keyword research, user intent trumps all. The content should answer the user\u2019s question using keywords they\u2019ve searched for. To best determine user intent, it\u2019s helpful to think about \u201cmicro-moments.\u201d This refers to a search engine\u2019s ability to figure out a user\u2019s most likely intent.<\/p>\n<p>Micro-moments are especially important for mobile when users are seeking immediacy and convenience. After you\u2019ve determined a searcher\u2019s user intent, you can tailor your keywords \u2014\u00a0and overall content \u2014 accordingly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"header4\">How Do I Conduct Mobile Keyword Research?<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you understand a bit more about the nuances that go into desktop and mobile keywords, let\u2019s take a closer look at how to identify keywords that will help improve your content\u2019s rank when it comes to mobile search.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header5\">Start by Determining What Keywords You Currently Rank For<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header6\">Understand the Different Types of Search Queries<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header7\">Familiarize Yourself With SERPs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header8\">Explore Shorter Keywords<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header9\">Research Location-Based Keywords<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/mobile-keyword-research\/#header10\">Utilize Non-Text Searches<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">1. Start by Determining What Keywords You Currently Rank For<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first step in mobile keyword research is determining what keywords your content currently ranks for. You can then leverage that information using rank tracking.<\/p>\n<p>How? If a keyword is performing well, run with it and create more content around that keyword. If a keyword is performing poorly, it\u2019s probably time to pivot and find some new keywords to work with.<\/p>\n<p>Semrush\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/features\/position-tracking\/\">Position Tracking Tool<\/a>\u00a0can help. You can use it to monitor your website\u2019s keyword rankings, seeing which are performing well and which are a flop.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the platform to track competitor websites, seeing what keywords others are having success with. You can even view SERP rankings and filter the results to determine which keywords activate which SERP features.<\/p>\n<p>To set up position tracking, input a domain or subdomain, location, and target keywords.<\/p>\n<p>For mobile research purposes, define which devices you want to collect data from \u2014 smartphones, desktops, or tablets. Once you\u2019ve set things up, the tool collects data from your specified search engine, providing daily reports on the domain\u2019s performance for the target keyword.<\/p>\n<p>Another unique feature specific to mobile keywords? You can compare your position for keywords between desktop and mobile devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"b-blog__image\" data-size=\"big\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=619,height=285\/blog\/uploads\/media\/40\/8d\/408d679698deb67e06f6ff6833f59ca7\/image.png, https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1238,height=570\/blog\/uploads\/media\/40\/8d\/408d679698deb67e06f6ff6833f59ca7\/image.png 2x\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=619,height=285\/blog\/uploads\/media\/40\/8d\/408d679698deb67e06f6ff6833f59ca7\/image.png, https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1238,height=570\/blog\/uploads\/media\/40\/8d\/408d679698deb67e06f6ff6833f59ca7\/image.png 2x\" \/><img class=\"b-lazyload b-lazyload__skeleton lazyloaded aligncenter\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" alt=\"desktop vs mobile SERP position\" width=\"619\" height=\"285\" data-fullsize-src=\"https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/blog\/uploads\/media\/40\/8d\/408d679698deb67e06f6ff6833f59ca7\/image.png\" data-source-height=\"285\" data-source-width=\"619\" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-9025619_57=\"1\" \/><\/picture><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"js-post-schema\">\n<article>\n<div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">2. Understand the Different Types of Search Queries<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are different types of search queries to consider when researching mobile keywords.<\/p>\n<p>Queries can be spoken or typed, local or informational, or with typos or typo-free. The type of query will help determine what keywords are successful.<\/p>\n<p>Take spoken keywords, for example. These are likely to be used when driving since people need hands-free communication. Spoken queries tend to be more conversational and frequently phrased as questions.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to local versus informational keyword searches, it\u2019s again all about user intent. A user seeking local information will input some geographic indicator, such as a city or neighborhood. Information searches are less likely to have a geographic indicator.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, not every keyword has to be perfect \u2014\u00a0sometimes, putting in typo-ridden keywords can actually help drive traffic.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/blog\/12-free-keyword-research-tools\/\">Keyword research tools<\/a>\u00a0will often give adjacent keywords similar but not identical to correctly spelled words or phrases.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"header7\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">3. Familiarize Yourself With SERPs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The SERPs allows you to see which websites are ranking well. SERPs can change daily, and it\u2019s important to track them using tools like Semrush.<\/p>\n<p>You can check SERP results based on details like geographic location and device used. Some SERP analytics tools even let you check the results on iOS versus Android devices.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding mobile SERPs is also a practical way to better understand those precious micro-moments mentioned above.<\/p>\n<p>Micro-moments indicate user intent, and SERP behavior can help reveal this. Say a user is searching for a local service or product, for example. The SERPs will likely show a local map pack in the results. However, if the user is searching for information, the SERPs will likely show a quick answer box instead.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"header8\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">4. Explore Shorter Keywords<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although voice-driven keywords tend to be longer and more conversational, overall mobile-friendly keywords are short and succinct. Typing on a mobile device is tedious, so it should come as no surprise that users don\u2019t want to put in lengthy search phrases.<\/p>\n<p>You can look for short and snappy keywords using our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/features\/keyword-magic-tool\/\">Keyword Magic Tool<\/a>. This allows you to pinpoint shorter keywords in your niche.<\/p>\n<p>Start by adding the keyword or phrase you\u2019re interested in for your field. Then, click \u201cSearch.\u201d You will then get a comprehensive list of related searches that correlate with your original keyword.<\/p>\n<p>Using the \u201cAdvanced Filters\u201d feature, you can narrow down the length of these phrases to be more mobile-friendly by limiting the word count to something like one to four words.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re looking to rank for \u201chow to train for a marathon,\u201d using the advanced filter feature to limit the length of the queries, you\u2019ll find more mobile-friendly keywords like \u201cmarathon race training\u201d and \u201cmarathon prep plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"b-blog__image zoom\" data-size=\"big\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=885,height=486\/blog\/uploads\/media\/45\/32\/4532f8c33048a3e118e721dca1e963a9\/image.png, https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1770,height=972\/blog\/uploads\/media\/45\/32\/4532f8c33048a3e118e721dca1e963a9\/image.png 2x\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=885,height=486\/blog\/uploads\/media\/45\/32\/4532f8c33048a3e118e721dca1e963a9\/image.png, https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1770,height=972\/blog\/uploads\/media\/45\/32\/4532f8c33048a3e118e721dca1e963a9\/image.png 2x\" \/><img class=\"b-lazyload b-lazyload__skeleton lazyloaded aligncenter\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" alt=\"semrush keyword magic tool\" width=\"885\" height=\"486\" data-fullsize-src=\"https:\/\/static.semrush.com\/blog\/uploads\/media\/45\/32\/4532f8c33048a3e118e721dca1e963a9\/image.png\" data-source-height=\"879\" data-source-width=\"1600\" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-9025619_57=\"1\" \/><\/picture><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"header9\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">5. Research Location-Based Keywords<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve touched on this a few times, but it\u2019s one of the most important characteristics of mobile search, so it\u2019s worth mentioning again: Local SEO is critical for mobile.<\/p>\n<p>There are two essential keywords to pay attention to when doing mobile keyword research: \u201cnear me\u201d and \u201cnearby.\u201d These are the most frequently used location-based keywords in mobile searches.<\/p>\n<p>You might notice they pop up if you start to type a phrase into the Google mobile search bar (e.g., if you type in \u201cChinese restaurant,\u201d Google will suggest \u201cChinese restaurant near me\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, you can\u2019t rank for these keywords in the traditional sense. If you\u2019re a Chinese restaurant in New York City and pack your webpage with the content \u201cChinese restaurant near me,\u201d that doesn\u2019t help NYC-based users find you.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the fix? First, sign up with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/2911778?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Google My Business<\/a>. This ensures your company is listed when Google users look for your niche. You should also set your business location on Google Maps. These steps help improve \u201cnearby\u201d and \u201cnear me\u201d keyword rank.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"header10\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">6. Utilize Non-Text Searches<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Non-text searches are becoming increasingly popular with the surge in mobile-first internet behavior. We\u2019ve mentioned how voice search is on the rise, especially when people are on the go and can\u2019t stop to look at a screen and type.<\/p>\n<p>Voice-activated technologies like Cortana and Siri are further pushing this trend. The next move toward non-text searches can be seen in technologies like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/assistant\/answer\/7539151?hl=en&amp;visit_id=637466025691858471-2141104886&amp;rd=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Google Goggles<\/a>: You hold your phone\u2019s camera up to view an object, and the lens \u201ctranslates\u201d what it sees into a search.<\/p>\n<p>So, how can you select the right keywords to thrive in non-text searches? Local search is again key. There are a few adaptations to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p>For example, when it comes to voice queries, you\u2019re best off using questions. Meanwhile, for image-based searches, localization is critical. People are likely to use a feature like Google Goggles to get information about an object that\u2019s in front of them or their direct vicinity \u2014 like a statue or monument.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"header11\">How to Do Mobile Keyword Research with Semrush?<\/h2>\n<p>Want to quickly look at your mobile keywords or your competitor&#8217;s mobile keywords?
