# How Does Google Choose My Keywords?

Google picks keywords for your website by scanning your content and trying to figure out what your pages are about. It looks at things like your page titles, headers, body text, image descriptions, and even the words other websites use when they link to you.

If your site has clear, helpful content about a certain topic, like “emergency plumbing in Austin”, Google is more likely to show it when someone searches for that.

### **Want Better Keywords? Here’s How to Help Google Out:**

- Use the same words your customers are searching for
- Add your city or region if you’re a local business
- Write helpful content that answers common questions
- Make sure each page focuses on one main topic
- Use clear headings and titles

diib shows you which keywords you already rank for, and with Pro, you’ll see up to 500 and get tips to grow your traffic even faster.
