of Keyphrases in SEO<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Search engine optimization (SEO) has become the anatomy of any successful website in the digital world. Keyphrases are a pivotal aspect of SEO that contribute to a website\u2019s visibility on search engines, and if optimized correctly, can do wonders for website traffic and conversions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_Keyphrase_in_SEO\"><\/span>What is a Keyphrase in SEO?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A keyphrase, also known as a keyword, is a combination of words that represents a website\u2019s content or niche. It&#8217;s the search term that users enter on search engines to find specific products, services, or information. For instance, &#8220;best coffee shop,&#8221; &#8220;specialty coffee,&#8221; or &#8220;organic coffee&#8221; could be some possible keyphrases for a coffee shop\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s crucial to have relevant and accurate keyphrases to attract targeted traffic to your website. Optimizing for the wrong keyphrases may attract the wrong audience, turning away the people who could have been interested in your offerings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_Setting_a_Keyphrase_Important\"><\/span>Why is Setting a Keyphrase Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Setting the right keyphrase is the foundation of your website\u2019s SEO.
