Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi William, Thanks for the question. It looks like you've got a few great answers already. I thought I would weigh in as well. Branded keywords will be important for you to monitor how effective your branding efforts are. You'll also want non-branded keywords to help you to analyze how well your SEO efforts as a whole are doing. It's not required to have either, but I recommended it. I hope that helps. Cheers, Joel.
