The importance of long-tail SEO keywords In 2019

Did you know long-tail keywords make up 92% of all search queries that people are looking up?

These keywords usually have very low competition, and while they are not as traffic intense as short-tail keywords, they can still get your website seen on the first page of search engines about 1,000 to 10,000 times a month.

How to find long-tail SEO keywords

There are many easy methods you can use to find these lucrative SEO keywords. Some of them are:

Use Google Search

One super-simple method for finding long-tail keywords is by entering a seed keyword (short-tail) into the search bar.

The search bar will then provide a list of recommended suggestions that people have also searched for based on the given keyword.

For example, if you type 'buy gold' into the search bar, you will get a list of recommended keywords such as 'buy gold near me,' 'buy gold online' and 'buy gold at spot price.'

There is a chance you may get results that are more personalized or tailored to your specific location, but the process is still the same for all search engines that have auto-suggest keyword features.

Use a keyword generator tool

Another gold mine for finding long-tail SEO keywords is a keyword generator tool. These programs allow you to find hundreds of long-tail keywords related to a specific search term in a matter of seconds.

Native keyword tools such as Google Keyword Planner are free to use and will provide data that is much more accurate and reliable than third-party keyword tools that will cost you around $100 a month to use.

Hire an SEO agency!

The SEO experts you will find at Monstrous Media Group are very skilled and experienced at ranking websites for lucrative long-tail SEO keywords, and we have the track record to prove it.

Hiring an SEO agency will also save you a lot of time by allowing you to not have to study complex SEO algorithms or keep up with constant updates, and they will save you a lot of money on wasted low-quality backlinks that will probably never increase rank for your page and cause your entire website to get penalized or delisted from search results.

What a crazy strategy for your business, right? 

Conclusion

In other words, even though long-tail SEO keywords individually get far less monthly searches than their short-tail counterparts (money, investing, health, etc), when combined, they make up almost all search queries that people are actually using.
