Did you know that "bend oregon" has 5 times the actual search volume as "central oregon"? How do I know? I used the Google keyword tool to do the research.
Visit https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal . Try entering "bend oregon". Try Mt. Bachelor.... Another suggestion, try using your site address to generate ideas for additional keywords you can use in your own site content.
Questions? Come visit Alpine on Friday and we'll discuss in the class at noon.
