Long Tail Keywords for Small Players

Introduction

As a small player in the digital world, I've often wondered how to compete with the biggies. Then, I discovered the power of long tail keywords.

Understanding Long Tail Keywords

Long tail keywords are specific, less common phrases that visitors use when they're closer to a point-of-purchase or when they're using voice search.

Relevance of Long Tail Keywords

They help in creating awareness about a site's topic. Once people find your site searching for specific long tail keywords they are likely to return and use high-traffic search phrases to find your site again.

Starting Small

The problem with some small sites is that they’re trying to hit the big traffic keywords without first showing relevance in the long tail. Essentially, long-tail keywords bring in new visitors, and popular keywords help retain them.

Building Up

Successful sites start small and grow. There's significant traffic in long-tail keywords and emerging trends.

The Advantage of Small Sites

Big sites move slowly because they have to navigate layers of bureaucracy, and the stakes are higher for them. This slow pace gives small sites an advantage, allowing them to be more agile and responsive.
