        If your companies website is brand-new, and you are just improving organic seo, start by optimising your website for longtail keywords.

        We have started doing this for a company which sells garden rooms in the Cotswolds of England, we've seen great success from improving our organic SEO, we are now selling many more insulated summerhouses and garden offices than we ever have before

            Finding low difficulty keywords involves conducting keyword research to identify keywords with lower competition and higher potential for ranking. Here are a few steps you can follow to find such keywords:

            Start with a broad topic: Begin by brainstorming a broad topic related to your content or target audience. This will serve as the foundation for your keyword research.

            Use keyword research tools: There are various keyword research tools available, both free and paid, that can help you find low difficulty keywords. Some popular options include Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Moz Keyword Explorer. These tools provide data on search volume, competition, and related keyword suggestions.

            Focus on long-tail keywords: Long-tail keywords are more specific phrases that typically have lower search volume but also lower competition. They target a narrower audience, but often bring in more qualified traffic. Look for long-tail keywords relevant to your topic.

            Analyze keyword metrics: Look for keywords with lower competition metrics, such as lower keyword difficulty, competition score, or search volume. These metrics indicate that fewer websites are targeting those keywords, increasing your chances of ranking higher in search engine results.

            Consider using niche or location-specific keywords: If your business operates in a specific niche or location, targeting keywords specific to that niche or location can help you find lower competition keywords. This way, you'll be targeting a more focused audience and facing less competition.

            Analyze competitor keywords: Look at what keywords your competitors are targeting and consider identifying gaps or opportunities. If you find keywords your competitors aren't targeting that are still relevant to your business, it could indicate low competition.

            Remember, finding low difficulty keywords is just one aspect of effective SEO. It's important to consider other factors such as search intent, relevance to your content, and the overall value your content provides to users.

                  12. Ensure chosen keywords align with content relevance and user intent.

                          You can search on Quora or Reddit to see the types of questions people are asking, which will give you ideas for keywords and content.

                          Once you do write more content, do a review for accuracy. I took a quick look at the page for toasters made in the USA. The first toaster I looked at had a broken link. I found the correct link for that toaster and a second unit, and the Amazon description for both of them indicated they were not made in the USA.

                            Inconsistent Keyword Search Volume & Difficulty Across Tools (e.g., Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, Semrush)

                            keyword difficulty keyword explorer

                            Hi there, Moz Community! I'm reaching out for some guidance on keyword research discrepancies. I'm currently targeting the keyword "sui gas bill" for my blog, sngplbill, which focuses on information related to Sui gas bills. I've used several keyword research tools, including Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Semrush, and each platform provides different search volume and keyword difficulty scores: Moz: No search volume data, Keyword Difficulty (KD) 24
                            Google Keyword Planner: Search volume 100k-1M, Difficulty (Low)
                            Semrush: Search volume 90k, KD 31
                            Ahrefs: KD 1 (Very Easy)
                            These varying results are causing some confusion. Ideally, I'd like to understand which platform offers the most reliable data for search volume and keyword difficulty. Here are some additional details that might be helpful: My target location: Pakistan My Questions: What factors might contribute to these discrepancies in keyword data across different tools?
                            Considering my niche (Sui gas bill information in Pakistan), which platform would you recommend for the most accurate search volume and keyword difficulty estimates?
                            Are there any additional factors to consider beyond search volume and keyword difficulty when selecting keywords for content strategy?
                            Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

                            Minor languages keyword research

                            Hello, I am in charge of doing a keyword research for several small countries in Europe, namely Hungary, Estonia and Latvia.
                            I normally use the Keyword planner for Google Ads, but for Hungarian, Estonian and Latvian this tools seems to find no results for the keywords related to my websites. For example, in Hungarian the keyword "ajak toltoanyagok" ("lip fillers" in English) doesn't give any results (and yes, I am targeting my searches to Hungary and Hungarian). I have the same problems with Latvian and Estonian. Is there another tool that I could use and that could give me better results? Help! Cheers Luca rONwtZt

                            Keyword Themes - What's in a theme?

                            I recently read the Moz guide for  "How To Rank - 25 Step SEO Master Blue Print" and had a question on keyword themes. What is considered a theme? Is there a recommended number of keywords in a theme? For example, if my site is for listing and selling cars, would the following terms fit within the same "car" theme or should the terms be broken out by "cars general" / "car locations" / "car types"?

                            Longtail keyword definition seems fuzzy?

                            So we all know about longtail keyword vs. short tail. However, it seems that the definition is a bit inconsistant. Some people say longtail keywords are keywords that get very low amounts of traffic, others that they are key phrases with 2 or more words. And others add to this that they have high conversion rate but describe specific features, product, service, model # etc. In an ideal model I suppose all of these things would be true. As keyword length increases, traffic tends to decrease, keyword is more specific pointing at features, model#, specific product etc and therefore the conversion rate is a bit higher as well. However, the data isn't a perfect curve. I will see keywords that get 18,000 searches but have 4 words. And then I will see single word key phrases that get <10 -20 searches a month. What am I to consider these? Its like they fit half the criteria. Any comments on this would be helpful and appreciated. I suppose the real question I am after is - it seems like the real definition of a long tail keyword cant be any of the above traits of a long tail keyword. How do you really define a long tail keyword in all circumstances (without it being this subjective idealized definition based on a perfect model) and where would the keyword circumstances (lots of words but high traffic, and low traffic but 1 word) fall in the graph? Center?

                            Google Keyword Tool: What is considered a unique keyword?

                            I'm trying to research keywords using Google's Keyword Tool.  After looking at results, I have the following questions: 1.  Does singular/plurals of a word count as two different keywords to Google (ie: photobooth and photobooths)?  Would I need to have a unique page targeting each word or will one page on my site be sufficient for targeting both? 2. I've noticed that different variations of keywords have the same global monthly search results.  This leads me to believe that Google see's all of them as one keyword.  ie: "photo booth props" and "props for a photo booth" and "props with photo booth", all have 22,200 search global monthly search resluts.  On the other hand "moustache prop" and "prop moustache" have different global monthly search results (480 and 590).  Can anyone explain this?

                            How should I use keywords in a sentence?

                            The keywords that I target are phrases that wouldn't ever be used in a sentence... Ex: Stained Concrete Virginia My question is... Is it better to use the phrase, even though its odd? Ex: Stained Concrete Virginia is a great product Or is it better to make it a natural sentence? Ex: Stained Concrete in Virginia is a great product? Im trying to find a way to use my keyword phrases at least 4 times in the content of the pages...but it seems difficult if I have to use such an odd phrase. Thanks! Tim

                            Adding qualifiers to keywords?

                            I know that it's worth adding qualifiers to high value keywords to create long-tail variations which will later have the potential to rank well for the main keyword as well... My questions is, how important is it that the newly-formed keyword/phrase also be evaluated for search volume? E.g. "tips for job interviews" has a high search volume, but scores 72 in the Keyword Difficulty tool - quite high. I would therefore be tempted to create a "10 tips for job interviews" articles or something similar, yet THIS particular phrase is searched for <10 times per month... If there are not any easy-to-find qualifiers that also create a well-searched for keyword/phrase, is it still worth adding them?
