You got great answers below. I would do the same if I were you.

The vast majority of my traffic comes from "low hanging fruit", especially with a new website: How to Get Keywords Ranked With Low Hanging Fruit That means I target low traffic, ultra-low competition keywords. My strategy for getting traffic has always been to target lots of low competition topics to write about consistently, rather than find one "big" keyword, and focus on ranking that one page.

Honestly, sometimes I don't even use a keyword tool to find phrases! I'll find one good phrase, then brainstorm a bunch of related stuff. For example, if I find a decent keyword like "best cruises for kids under 12", then I'd do a series of posts like

best cruises for seniors
best cruises for single men
best cruises for single women
best cruises for gay men
best cruises for people with disabilities
best cruises for emotional support animals
best cruises for...... and so on

When your site is new, it's especially important to look for low competition stuff. Later on, you can target some broader, higher traffic phrases.

The secret trick is to then link from your low-competition phrases that are ranking and getting traffic to your high competition keyword pages. You'll pump authority into that page, and have a better chance of ranking!

Over time, with consistent writing, it will make a difference. Want To See A REAL Long-Tail Keyword?

Are you using Jaaxy and doing thorough research Jason?, have you looked at the training?🧐
