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.

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 -
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!

I have two keywords. If I combine them do I get credit for both keywords?
For example I have a keyword - IPA Beer, and I have a keyword - IPA Beer Kit. If I use the keyword IPA Beer Kit will I get the benefit of the IPA Beer keyword as well as the IPA Beer Kit keyword? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

The same keyword on multiple pages, but not all (combined with other relevant keywords) for products.
Hi Guys, I want to get an opinion/advice on this. My client has a site that have all their products (I am working on expanding the product descriptions, benefits and how they differ from each other) listed and I just want to know if I can use the term 'gear oil' for example on multiple pages as one of the keywords. The product range (among others like transmission fluid and anti-freeze) is gear oil (with the different types of gear oils available described) and I can't really change what the product is. I do have different variations (such as gear lubricant, automotive gear lubricant, car gear oil etc.) but will it do damage if I use the same keyword (like gear oil) on multiple pages (along with another relevant keyword that does not involve the words gear oil)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

Keyword research tools
So I went to a panel a while back that said Wordtracker is basically useless. I'm not using it as an end-all, be-all, but more for insights and context. Do you agree with that statement? The hosting company provides a keyword research tool, so I wasn't sure how seriously to take it. Have you guys been using Bing for the search data previously provided by Google's Keyword Research Tool? Do you find that to be a viable resource? Thanks.

Help finding some decent keywords
Anyone care to help a SEO Newbie find a couple of key words that would be easier to rank for for my website that provides kayak fishing information? mysite: yakangler.com The key words that I've identified are as follows: best kayak
Keyword Research | | mr_w
fishing from a kayak
fishing kayak review
fishing kayaks
kayak and fishing
kayak fishing
kayak for fishing
kayak reviews
kayak rigging
kayak weight limit
kayaks fishing
kayaks for fishing But I'm worried I'm missing the point, I don't see hardly any traffic from most of these. I've really tried to rank for "kayak fishing" but seem to be totally lost in the Google Panda abyss. Any advice on a different word or strategy would be greatly appreciated!0 -
Has anyone tried SECockpit as their Keyword Research tool ?
I'm looking for a tool to help with keyword research, and judging by the presentation and few reviews I could find, SECockpit at http://swissmademarketing.com/secockpit/ seems to be a nice product. They pull their data (partly) from SEOmoz, which is a good sign. Any feedback ? Thx Gil
