These days there’s a wide range of sources for potentially useful data when thinking about content development including but not limited to:
- Compeititor links and IA
- Adwords databases
- Internal analytics
- Product catalogs
- Internal documentation and brand guides
- User and stakeholder interviews

For an example of how this strategy can drive business check out our case study on Dayspring Pens, a 25 year old e-commerce company that leveraged keyword research to drive significant site and sales growth.
