Ans: Keyword is a word or a phrase which the user (potential buyer) uses to find relevant results. Providing right keywords for your products and services is of extreme importance. Most of the times, it is seen that the buyers prefer to search for the products using keywords. So the more appropriate and matching keywords you have, more the chances for a buyer to find your product and services. Providing incorrect or insufficient keywords will mean driving inappropriate traffic to your business and in turn it means less inquiries and business for you. We recommend you spend quality time in providing right keywords for your products and services. Remember that you are providing the keywords for your buyers so it is very important to know your target audience while choosing the right set of keywords.
Here are some tips for choosing the right keywords:

• Understand and analyze your potential buyer. Think of the keywords which the buyer might enter while looking for the products and services which you are providing. Provide such relevant keywords
• We recommend that you provide specific keywords rather than generic keywords. For example: if you are selling party dresses, choose the keyword as "Party Dresses" instead of "Dresses". Generic keywords have more competition and your listing may get hidden in that. While generic keywords can give you more traffic, but it may not give you quality leads and inquiries. So avoid generic keywords and go for specific terms. Provide comprehensive list of keywords while being specific.
• If you are offering specialized products and services for a particular geography or region, do mention that as a keyword. For example: Indian Handmade Cloths. This will give you more qualified traffic than a generic keyword like Cloths.
• People use different words for a single product based on which part of the world they are. So try to use different terminologies while describing your keywords.
• If you are offering products and services for a specific age group, mention that in your keywords. For example: Kids Bedroom Decor
• Avoid using special keywords, your website URL, domain name and email address in your keywords. Also, do not use the trademarks or brand names of other companies without the permission from those companies.

Ans: Following could be some of the possible reasons:
