What Keywords Are —
And How Tentacull Turns Them Into Growth
Your customers search for solutions every day. Keywords are the bridge between what they want and your business. Tentacull helps you own that bridge by revealing the phrases customers use — and how you compare to competitors.
What Are Keywords?
Keywords are the specific words and phrases people type into search engines like Google to find products, services, and information. They represent intent — the exact needs customers are trying to solve.
Someone searching "best roof repair near me" is looking for a service you might offer. That phrase is a keyword.
When your website content matches the right keywords, you make it easier for the right customers to find you at exactly the right moment.
Why Keywords Matter
Keywords are the backbone of how search engines understand your business. When your website is aligned with the right keywords:
- You appear higher in Google results
- You attract customers who are actively ready to buy
- You outrank local competitors in your niche
- You can identify profitable services to emphasize
- You uncover gaps where competitors are weak
Most businesses unknowingly rank for the wrong keywords — or none at all. Tentacull helps you see exactly where you stand and what to fix.
How Businesses Use Keywords
Keywords influence almost every part of your digital presence:
- Website pages — service descriptions, homepage headings, FAQs
- Google Business Profile — business description, posts, and updates
- Blog posts and articles — how-to guides, education, and resources
- Social media posts — captions, hashtags, and pinned content
- Backlinks & anchor text — what other sites say about you
- Advertising campaigns — Google Ads, Meta Ads, and other paid channels
When you consistently use the right keywords across these areas, you increase your visibility, authority, and conversion rates.
