We're in a time where SEO and digital marketing has become more saturated and more competitive than ever. With over a billion websites on the web, SEO is no longer an easy or open playing field.
A lot of times, I see many of these new websites making the same mistake that'll ultimately give them little to no SEO result and just waste their time. What is it? It's targeting keywords that are too competitive.
These days, effective keyword research is an increasingly important skill for digital marketers. Not only do they need to know how to develop a good keyword list, but using keyword research to find out what topics they should write about or what phrases they should be using while writing is super important, especially figuring out which ones aren't competitive.
Nowadays, doing keyword research effectively is a top priority for any website or SEO. If you look up a competitive term, such as car insurance, you'll likely see some big brands pop up. If you're a new website, it's going to be almost nearly impossible to compete with those brands. What's the answer? Target long-tail keywords.
You're missing out on a lot of search traffic if you're not creating blog posts around longer search terms.
For example, let's say you have a dog food business and you're trying to break into the dog food online space. Most likely, you want to go after keywords like dogs, dog food, pet food, because that would get a lot of search traffic.
The monthly search volume for dog food is roughly 135,000 searches per month. But the pay difficulty is 100 and the SEO difficulty is 77. That's incredibly high. Coming in as a new company, there's very little to no chance that you're going to rank well unless you have an established brand and high domain authority, which most new companies don't.
Instead, you want to focus on long-tail keywords, like dog food for allergies or dog food for senior dogs. These keywords have a lower monthly search volume, but higher quality search traffic because they're more specific and they're going to convert because they're more specific.
For example, dog food for allergies has a monthly search volume of 9,900 and a SEO difficulty of 38. That means it's going to be easier to rank for. If you're trying to figure out how you can rank for these terms or where to find them, check out Ubersuggest. Type in a head term that you're thinking about going after, you don't need to know the long-tail variations, just look at the head terms, type them in, and then go to the keyword ideas report.
It'll give you all the other longer tail variations and it even breaks down the SEO difficulty. Look for terms that have an SEO difficulty score of 40 or under. Those'll be easier for you to rank for.
You also want to look for ones that have volume at least in the few thousands per month because the volume doesn't always mean clicks. And, when you do all of this, it'll help give you more ideas and more ideas for you to produce content.
There's also a questions tab on Ubersuggest, prepositions, comparisons. These are also more places where you can find more keyword ideas, more content ideas. That will drive keywords that convert into revenue.
On Ubersuggest, there's a content ideas report. When you go very specific, it'll show you all the content that's already been created around the web-based on social shares, backlinks, and search traffic. It even tells you, when you look at the estimated visits, all the keywords that the article ranks for.
When you're trying to figure out what keywords you should go after, also look at all the content pieces that have some of those similar keywords because this will give you ideas of what you can create that can help you not only generate traffic from all three, right? You don't want to just generate traffic from Google.
