Not understanding the difference between“Exact”, “Phrase” and“Broad” Keyword Match

Many people look for solutions
online, of course, we all know that
typing in one word is usually not
enough to get any sensible result,
so targeting a phrase of between 2
and 4 words is the better choice to
make. If you target a keyword phrase
of just one word then it is likely to
be too competitive or too

ambiguous. Looking at

phrases than four is generally
ineffective, so try
to find a phrase with just 2 to 4 words which customers with buying intent are likely to use. However, there are three different ways you can type in the same keyword or phrase like:

1. childrens rollers skates

 

2. “childrens rollers skates”

 

3. [childrens rollers skates]

1. Just typing a keyword is broad match,
2. Enclosing the keyword in quotes is phrase match
3, Enclosing a keyword in square brackets is exact match.
Broad match is the most difficult one to achieve, followed by phrase then e xact. Achieving top search engine rankings on a broad match keyword has the added value that you will be also be top for other related keywords. A good SEO company should aim for broad match for all you keywords.
