However, not all search terms are created equal. One key difference is between branded and non-branded search terms. Branded search terms are your brand name or longer phrases that include your brand name. Branded search terms often indicate the searcher already knows about your brand, while non-branded terms, or terms that don't include your brand name, don't. Non-branded terms are used to reach an audience earlier in the buyer's journey, and they need to learn about your brand to call you by your name. **So, what's so great about branded search terms?** In this article, we'll explore why using branded terms in your search marketing strategies can be a game changer. With benefits like stronger conversion rates, more brand credibility, and more personalization, we will explore in depth what makes branded search terms great.
