Finding long-tail keywords is essential for expanding your website's search visibility and capturing more targeted traffic. Here are some best practices to discover long-tail keywords effectively:Use Google Autocomplete and Related Searches:
Start typing your main keyword into Google's search bar, and observe the autocomplete suggestions that pop up. These suggestions are based on actual user queries and can provide valuable insight into long-tail variations of your primary keywords. Additionally, scroll to the bottom of the search results page to find the "Searches related to..." section for more keyword ideas.Analyze Competitors' Keywords:
Look at the keywords your competitors are targeting, especially those who are ranking well in your niche. Tools like Moz Keyword Explorer, SEMrush, or Ahrefs can help you identify the keywords your competitors are ranking for. Analyze their content and identify long-tail keywords they may be targeting.Utilize Keyword Research Tools:
Leverage keyword research tools such as Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Ubersuggest to identify long-tail keyword variations. These tools provide data on search volume, competition, and related keywords, helping you discover valuable long-tail opportunities.Explore "People Also Ask" Section:
When you search for a keyword on Google, you'll often see a "People Also Ask" section that provides related questions. These questions can be excellent sources of long-tail keyword ideas. Answering these questions comprehensively in your content can also improve your chances of ranking for them.Review Your Website Analytics:
Analyze the search terms that are already bringing traffic to your website. Your website analytics platform (such as Google Analytics) can provide valuable insights into the specific long-tail keywords that users are using to find your site. Optimize your content around these keywords to further enhance your visibility.Consider User Intent:
Focus on understanding the intent behind the search queries. Long-tail keywords often reflect specific user intents or needs. Tailor your content to address these intents effectively, providing valuable solutions or information to users.Long-Tail Keyword Generators:
Some tools specialize in generating long-tail keyword suggestions based on a seed keyword. These tools can be helpful when you're looking for more niche-specific or less competitive keyword variations.By incorporating these strategies into your keyword research process, you can identify a diverse range of long-tail keywords that can help attract targeted traffic to your website and improve your overall search visibility.
I'm keen on expanding my reach to include more long tail keywords. Check out our article on the best brother sewing machines at sewnscissors for further insights.

The best way to find long tail keywords is actually to start with the “head” keywords, and find out their related SEO inventory. If you’ve already started a startup or run an online business, then you probably have done some keyword research before. Put your keywords into the Google Search Console’s Keyword Planner and see how many searches they get. (Be sure to select “Exact Match” so you don’t include searches that include misspellings or synonyms.)
For example, let’s say I want to rank for the keyword phrase “weight loss". It's very hard to rank for such a phrase, so it's better to aim at longer phrases like "weight loss apps for android", etc.
At SUSO we usually focus on long-tail keywords and low-hanging fruits first, as they're the best place to begin rank spikes.

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!

If I insert a "stop" word into a long tail keyword, will it break it up?
I'm in the legal industry, and a lot of the long tail keywords I'm finding are search queries that are pinpointed for my location. As a result, I come up with [subject] + [location] as good keywords... for example: "subpoena duces tecum new york." (basically it's a subpoena, just the fancy name). However, I have no clue how to use something like this in a sentence....if I say "subpoena duces tecum IN new york" does the "in" break up the keyword, or is "in" just a stop word that doesn't affect the keyword? Countless examples of similar keywords "Car accident new york" etc. Thanks!
