        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.

                  4. Analyze competitor websites for keyword ideas.
                  5. Use Google Suggest and related searches for keyword suggestions.
                  6. Explore niche forums and communities for language and phrases.
                  7. Identify content gaps within your niche.
                  8. Consider location-based keywords if targeting a local audience.
                  9. Filter and refine your keyword list based on search volume and competition.
                  10. Check for seasonal or trending keywords.
                  11. Assess competition through manual searches.
                  12. Ensure chosen keywords align with content relevance and user intent.

                  Continuously monitor and adapt your keyword strategy as competition and trends change.

                          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.

                            We have looked up our direct competitor to see what keywords they rank #1 for (aside from their own company name). We have narrowed it down to 3 that we want to focus on. Our plan is to build internal landing pages, external landing pages and beef up our content.  Is that a good strategy to start or are we missing something?

                            How Can I Rank My One Keyword ?

                            I read many places about never use the same keywords/anchor text this will consider as spam by google, so i want to know if suppose my main keyword is Indian bridal sarees than how can i give rank to that keyword, should i use the same exact keyword but in different format like bridal indian sarees or indian bridal sarees shopping something like that. Should i use LSI keywords in that keywords. Please help Second, I also read some people saying they use 70% primary keywords and 30% LSI or generic words, so that mean if i have 10 articles so in 7 articles i have to give primary keyword and the rest of the 3 will be generic. Kindly please advice this also.

                            How can a keyword has very low search volume (<10) and high competition?

                            Sometimes I notice in Google keyword tool that a keyword has very low search volume (<10) and high competition? Why would anyone go for a keyword with very less search volume ?? (note: If Checked in Google keywords tool with Exact match) Though I understand this tool doesn't always have exact data but still any explanation to that question?

                            Reasonable price for Keyword Research

                            If I knew what to look for I would do it myself. But I want it done now. The words would relate to one broad category with possible gold that can be mined from 12 sub-categories categories.  In my preliminary seat of the pants research I didn't find much in the sub-categories but there were around 10 key words in the broad categories.  I am getting a lot of long tail words ranked but I don't believe there is hardly any traffic. Does anyone know what a reasonable estimate is for this degree of keyword research? Also if anyone would like to submit a bid for this work please personal email me. Utah Tiger.
