From Keywords to Online Sales
In today’s fiercely competitive online world, the key question is: How do you make SEO go beyond driving traffic and actually generate sales?
The answer is “Keyword Mapping.” When combined with Apexia’s Content Strategy, it creates a systematic customer journey—from typing a search on Google to clicking “Order Now” or “Contact Us.”
At Apexia, we believe modern online marketing shouldn’t be measured by clicks alone. It should build a Sales Funnel through content that matches users’ search intent. Here’s how we help clients succeed in the online market.
What Is Keyword Mapping?
Definition
Keyword Mapping is the process of assigning and organizing keywords across a website’s pages in a structured way, taking into account user Search Intent. This ensures each page has a clear role and avoids competing with other pages for rankings.
Example of Keyword Mapping
- Broad Keywords: “Online Marketing” → Service Page
- Long-tail Keywords: “Content Marketing for SMEs” → Blog Article
- Branded Keywords: “Apexia SEO Consultant” → Landing Page
Why Keyword Mapping Matters for Sales
- Match Search Intent with Customer Journey
- Informational → Provide knowledge
- Commercial → Present options
- Transactional → Drive purchase
- Informational → Provide knowledge
- Reduce Content Duplication (Keyword Cannibalization)
If multiple pages target the same keyword, Google won’t know which page is most important, hurting rankings. - Build SEO Funnel → Sales Funnel
Customer searches → Engages with content → Sees expertise → Gains trust → Converts to a purchase
