Some people search just to learn. Some people search to buy or contact a business. You should focus more on people who are ready to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cbest service near me\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cbook service today\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201chire company in my area\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:12px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These types of keywords help improve results and reduce the cost per lead Google Ads spends.
