Prioritise Long Tail Keywords for Quicker Conversion Value.
Your secret weapon for SEO success!
Why are keywords so important?
In the online landscape, keywords guide customers to your business.
- Quality over quantity!
- Embed your brand in Google review links.
- Opt for the right keyword domain URL and minimize modifications.
Many companies initially target the higher volume yet very competitive keyword options.
If you have a growing or new business, look at the longer keyword versions first with less competition. Longtail normally implies 3 to 5 keywords.
Ranking for these or targeting them through paid Ad campaigns will give you a higher chance of initial success and help generate those first income streams.
Success with longtails also provides a foundation for building traction on those competitive terms that will take a much longer time to convert.
Also bear in mind, a longtail strategy normally drives in more focussed relevant traffic because the searchers intent is more clearly defined. So basically less work, higher conversion rates.
