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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Ignore keywords that have no data in the Google Keyword Tool?
Hello, There are some keywords that have no monthly search data in the Google Keyword Tool. In many cases, this is because there have been very few searches for the keyword. Would you recommend focusing on other keywords that do have search data in the Google Keyword Tool? Perhaps focusing too far out on the long tail of search results can be less productive than focusing on keywords that have proven that at least some people care about them. What do you think? Thanks!
