People tend to prefer searching for solutions to their problems on Google or a company’s website first, before contacting help desk technicians. This creates the need to make good SEO to your customer service sites. If you aren’t visible when potential customers look for help or for reviews, you’re allowing other voices, including those of your competitors, to determine the conversation about your brand.
Search queries are often worded as questions, starting with “How to”, “what is” or very specific long-tail keywords. The support team should work closely with the SEO team to determine what customers are searching for. In this way, you’ll be using exact keywords and phrases that are understood by the general audience to help bring in other users who are searching for the same question. It’s worth checking out what your users have searched for on your website by integrating it into Google Analytics. Site Search shows you if people are using the search function on your site, which queries they entered, and whether the search results led to them diving in deeper to your site.

In a survey of 3,000 online consumers conducted by Coleman Parkes, 91% said they prefer to use online knowledge base and solve their problems on their own.
