To find low-difficulty keywords related to your topic, follow these steps:
Keyword Research Tools: Use keyword research tools such as Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, Ahrefs, Ubersuggest, etc. Enter your topic or seed keyword and search for related keywords with low competition or difficulty.
Long-tail keywords: Long-tail keywords are specific phrases that typically have low competition. Focus on long, detailed keywords that are directly related to your topic. These often have less competition and can therefore attract more targeted traffic.
Google Autocomplete and Related Searches: Start typing your topic or seed keyword into Google Search and note the autocomplete and related search suggestions at the bottom of the search results page. These can give you insight into what people are searching for and can help you find less competitive keywords.
Competitor Analysis: See what keywords your competitors are targeting. Identify keywords that your customers may be missing or that you can compete on more effectively. Tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs can help you analyze your competitors.
Use low competition metrics: Look for keywords with low competition metrics, such as B. Low difficulty value, low CPC (cost per click), or low search volume. These metrics indicate less competition and can make rankings easier.
Focus on niche topics: Discover niche subtopics within your main topic. These themes often have low competition because they are aimed at a specific audience. Look for keywords related to specific problems, solutions, or interests in your field.
Check forums and Q&A sites: Search forums like Quora, Reddit, or industry-specific forums related to your topic. Look for questions and discussions that show what people in your field are interested in. These can provide ideas for less competitive keywords.
Content Gaps: Identify content gaps within existing search results. Look for topics and questions related to your area of expertise that aren't well covered by existing content. Filling these gaps with optimized content can help you rank for less competitive keywords.
Remember to prioritize keywords that not only have less competition but also match your content goals and audience. Quality content that provides value to your audience will ultimately contribute to long-term success in search engine rankings.

There are several ways to do it.
- Consider analyzing your competitors
- Use SEO keyword research tools like Moz, Ahrefs, or semrush.
Enter the seed keyword in any of the tools recommended above, and now filter the low difficulty keywords by keeping the keywords' difficulty up to 0-5. Make sure you manually check the SERP pages of each keyword.
This is what I do for my client. -
The answer to your question is - to find low-hanging fruit keywords.

Relevant but not-relevant keywords impact to SEO
Hello, I would like to know if the selection of individual keywords(that are not primary, secondary or tertiary) are important for SEO regardless of the relevancy to the page topic. I am wondering how much of a contribution a non-P1/P2/P3 can make in terms of SEO? For example it is a product page and I have built my content with P1,P2&P3 based only on the product and its properties itself. Do you think that a content gap for the page could be the production process of that product? So even if it is a product and its properties page, I can add 2 sentences about the production, so that I can drive more traffic by including these 2 informative sentences.? EXAMPLE:
Keyword Research | | Siir
So lets' say my topic is "hair types" (P1) and my subtopics are "Straight," "wavy," and "curly"(P2s) which I used as subtitles. But throughout the page, I am planning to add some relevant but not-directly-relevant keywords here and there since they have high metrics and volumes. For example a potential sentence I can add: "innovative hair products these days can offer amazing results for the desired hair types". It is not specifically about "hair types" but I am using the keyword "innovative hair products" (good metrics keyword) which may help for the traffic... Another potential not-so-direct sentence can be: "For all hair types, the hair damages are common: heat damage, chemical damage and mechanical damage". Would adding this extra sentence where I am not specifically talking about "hair types" (my topic) but "hair damages" and damage examples (off-topic high metric keywords) help me to drive traffic to my website? And how much of an impact would it be?0 -
Is it a bad idea to hyphenate keywords?
Hello, my understanding was that Google reads hyphens in keywords as spaces, but if that's accurate how come keywords with hyphens that I research with Keyword Explorer — for instance, hospital-acquired infections — rank lower when I include the hyphen? If the hyphen hurts SEO, do I have to remove them all from the blog or page in question? Removing hyphens means a blog or page will have punctuation errors, which is irritating to an editor, but I don't want to sacrifice the effectiveness of keywords, either. Thanks, in advance, for your response!

How many keywords do you recommend tracking?
I am working through thousands of organic keywords and would like to create a list of core keywords. I want the list to be small enough that we can really go after these keywords and track progress. I work for a B2B software company. I am thinking between 20-30 but I would love to hear any tips, opinions and recommendations! Thank you!

A Solution to Keywords Being Grouped in Google Keyword Planner
Hi guys, I am trying to get search traffic for a list of keywords which I put together a few years ago for one of my clients, this was before Google made changes to their Keyword Planner. When I am adding the list into Google Keyword Planner it is "grouping" a number of the keywords/phrases together, and therefore removing 13 of the keywords from the original list of 59 keywords. Is there a way around this so I can get search volume for the original list, and not the cut down one? I am specifically using Google Keyword Planner as I want to get search volume for a number of specific locations in the UK. Any comments/feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Jack.

How granular should I get with Keyword research?
I'm doing KW research for a new business. My understanding from KW research guides: Use tools to create a list of thousands of keywords Analyze difficulty and search volume Reduce your list and do on page optimization for your select KWs My dilemma with this approach is that it seems "keyword based" rather than "intent" or "category" based. e.g. Let's say I have a grocery store. Ignoring SEO, I know that these are my main categories: Produce Meat Dairy Canned Goods Baked Goods In other words, the above categories are the general "intents" and "categories" that I'd really want to rank for. Keyword tool shows that they have high volume and high difficulty. Let's say that after doing keyword research, I discover "Low Fat Chicken Breasts" and "Turkey Sausage" and "Cheap Meat Wholesale" have decent search volume and low competition. I don't quite understand how I'm supposed to utilize these fringe keywords in my on page SEO plan because it doesn't make sense as a human to categorize my site that way. Not sure if this is clear. Basically I'm trying to figure out if I should really be getting this granular on keywords to help guide my store categories or if I should just be picking broader terms.

Accuracy of search volume for keyword planner v old keyword tool?
Hi there, I'm (logged into Google Adwords) and researching search volume for keywords but I'm seeing weird results. I know that the term "outage notification" had between 1000 and 5000 monthly global searches when I last looked (I know this because I add a search volume tag to the keywords I track ranking of via Moz). Yet, now when I check global search volume via keyword planner I'm seeing only 70 global searches per month (AND low competition which I know is not true). Is this perhaps because only the exact match is reported or is something else going on? Very frustrated as I have now lost faith in the keyword research process via Google keyword planner....not sure where to go from here!! Thanks very much

Include Location in Keywords?
I understand Google's local search automatically searches keywords with the location you are searching from. For example if I'm searching from Calgary and query "best shoe repair", Google knows I'm searching from Calgary and presents Calgary based results. I'm using Google's new Keyword Planner tool which allows for city based search results, meaning I don't have to include "Calgary" in the keywords I submit. The question I have is should I be attaching "Calgary" to my keywords for on-page optimization, and why or why not? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
