        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.

                          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.
