How quickly you want to get results? SEO is the long term strategy and sometimes it takes months to achieve a result. If you want to get the result faster, you should choose the word with the most competitive and/or high-level search activity. 

Who is your targeted audience? Are you just oriented on concrete audience or on a wider range of users?

Search Activity - Check frequency of search of this phrase. This will help you find out what kind of traffic brings the specific requirement. But don’t forget! - Volume varies over time…

Compliance - you should consider each keyword’s relevance to your business. Words can be less competitive and attract higher traffic on the site, but think… Will attracted audience become potential customers? 

Current positions - Check out what position you already have with our existing keyword in the search engine. If the positions are good, it will help you in the future.

Keywords should be chosen on the basis of the specifications of your business. When you reduce the word list and leave best options, select the ones which can easily optimize the site (Add new content or products/services, etc). 

Your first list of keywords won’t be ideal, but it will create a solid base for improving traffic. Pay attention to your effectiveness over time. Is the results are not good enough, never be afraid to change your strategy.
