            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.

                        Analyze competitor keywords: Study the keywords your competitors are targeting. Identify keywords that they rank for but have low competition. This can give you insights into potential low difficulty keywords.

                        Consider search intent: Understand the intent behind the keywords you are targeting. Focus on keywords that align with the purpose of your content and match the user's search intent. This can help you find keywords with less competition.

                              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.

                                Relevant but not-relevant keywords impact to SEO

                                keywords keyword density keyword stuffing

                                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:
                                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?

                                How do I do keyword research when search volume is unknown

                                Hi Mozzers! I do a lot of work in niche areas, and one issue I often confront in keyword research is unknown search volume. That is, I'll be doing keyword research in Keyword Explorer or Gooogle Search Console, and for the most relevant keywords, I find either very low search volumes, null search volumes, or "Data not available." How do I make good keyword planning decisions when I can't find good data for search volume? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Andy

                                hi guys I'm currently trying to optimize a site for 'Recruitment Agency North West' when I enter his term into keyword planner it gives me no results for the exact match, but offers me figures for 'Recruitment Agencies North West' Am I to assume that nobody has ever searched 'Recruitment Agency North West'?!!! and that I should be focusing on 'Recruitment Agencies North West' as my main key phrase? Is there another site other than keyword planner that will give me results for 'Recruitment Agency North West'? cheers M

                                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!

                                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.

                                Where to start with keyword research for a telecom company?

                                Hey, I'm a brand's person with no SEO experience, yet I'm in a position where I have to carry out an SEO audit of our telecom company's website. Though our website is up and running for some years now, nobody bothered to undertake keyword research. From the little I've read over months on SEOmoz, I've just done the following: took out keywords bringing organic traffic on to our website and checked our rankings for those keywords on major search engines. My observation is that most of these words are long-tail keywords. Since we only have product/service information related to our offerings, most of the head terms we've used for packages/offers/services pages are branded keywords. My understanding is that we need to rank top for our branded keywords (a must) and try to rank as high as possible for long tail. In addition, we can use those keywords in our copy so that the right page ranks top for the respective keyword. Am I missing anything here? What else do I need to do?

                                Keywords + Country?

                                Hey guys, Let's say that I'm doing on-site SEO for a website that sells football shirts. This website targets 5 different countries. We only have a .com domain and no other country specific domains will be added at this point. When I choose the keywords, do I opt for product name + country or only product name? football shirts france or football shirts? Some info: Countries have been added in the title of the pages. Countries appear in the footer. Thank You.
