Step 1: Is your website receiving traffic from keywords relevant to your business? If not, it could be the reason why your users are not converting on your website. The content leading them to you does not match what you offer on your website and those users will lose interest.

Step 2: Come up with a list of keywords relevant for your business and that you would like to add to the content in your website. Use a traffic analysis tool to take a look at the search volume of those keywords.

Step 4: Close down your final list of relevant keywords and add them to your content.
