How would you search for me?

[parkingandsecurity]

Well this is a backwards question - I'm doing some of my own SEO stuff and wondered how you would search for me.

I run a car park management company (issue parking tickets on private land) and also provide ancillary security services such as keyholding, mobile security patrols CCTV monitoring.
I have a list of keywords im focusing on but these are solely based on how i would search for me - and knowing what i do it isnt going to be the best result.
I have some targeted keywords in top 5 for both my city and county.
I wont post my keywords of domain here as that isnt the point of the excercise.
Thank you all in advance.

I don't bother with adding locations any more as Google knows where I am.

It is however a bit difficult choosing keywords as I don't own a car park. If I did I'd probably already know someone who does security.

I came up with the exact same without even looking at @fisicx reply;

car park management
car park security
private car park management
private car park security

These seem like the obvious - if you're doing different areas then maybe 'areas' added on the end. Then if it's ideal for holidays then stick ;'holiday' at the front

I dont actually have any of the 4 terms with the word spacing as you both put them - well i do now .. i use serprobot to track them and now added them all to my tracker.

 

[parkingandsecurity]

And now they are in there none of them 4 are in the top 200 ... guess ill maybe shift a bit of focus ..

These are my full keyword list right now:
parking management
parking management [COUNTY}
keyholding norfolk
keyholding norwich
parking management [CITY]
security norfolk
security norwich
mobile security patrols [COUNTY]
mobile security patrols [CITY]
parking and security
parking enforcement
parking enforcement COUNTY
parking enforcement CITY
cctv norfolk
cctv norwich
cctv monitoring COUNTY
cctv monitoring CITY
anpr COUNTY
anpr CITY
anpr car parking
anpr enforcement
anpr parking enforcement
security patrol COUNTY
security patrol CITY
car park management
car park security
private car park management
private car park security

Ive replaced the city and county so this isnt seen as a self promotion thread and hope thats deemed ok. I rank for 21 of this list in the top 200 results (not that anything above 10th really matters

And are people searching for all these?

Can't think of anyone searching for 'keyholding norfolk'. They are more likely to be looking for general security services of which keyholding may be a part.

I'm surprised that all of the suggestions so far have been polite

I was on one level but then i also thought this is a professional forum for professional people so expected that people may actually conduct themselves in a professional manner.

I have only been monitoring for a week or so but keyholding is a very specific service which businesses do look for.
