Hi Tim,

Excellent training, thank you.

The key takeaway for me is the point you make that it's easier to work out the search intent of longer keywords/phrases than it is for shorter ones.

With search intent understood, it's an easier job to craft some content that will be valuable to online searchers using those longer search phrases.

Thanks again
John

Hi Tim,

I use long tail keywords as well, or something that I am teaching myself at the moment is long sentences, as some of the words will be picked up in search terms.

Example could be: How to stop dogs from barking at strangers because I find it awkward.

What I have created above is what I want to find out and why I want to find out the information.

Its highly likely that there is a reason why people are searching for that search term and you can use that reason in your keyword research request.

Regards

Brian

Yes thanks for sharing your insights. I have articles that I do for internal linking that brings value to my website and sometimes the competition is very high, but they do get indexed. I am assuming that google picks up on it because of the value it has for my audience based on content and niche. What are your thoughts?

It's fantastic that they're getting indexed; congratulations. You can add pins to your pinterest and strategically backlink your website content.

Or do supplementary content for Medium and again baclink.

Also, Google always chooses the best snippet to help with a query.

Yeah, absolutely. Google definitely notices content that isn't based on a specific keyword and you can still rank for it, and value-adding content is always going to boost the trust/credibility you have with Google as a whole. It's just that it's typically better to target a specific keyword if your intention is to get traffic to that specific post through Google.

I don't do any keyword research at the moment, I just write for my audience on social media and the questions they ask there and the topics they discuss there. If google wants to pick up those blog posts, all the better, if it doesn't, well there's no loss at the moment because Google killed my SEO traffic anyway.
For now, there is no way of telling that doing 'longtail keywords' will help, nobody knows.
Or yes, I'm lying a bit, I do look up my competitors to see for which terms they rank for, on Moz, and I am writing new blog posts about those, I forgot hahaha

Good info, how to put these in your post? shall these keywords pe in the heading or in the article ?

You will learn all about that in the core training within your Business Hub, so keep going through that and follow what Kyle shows you regarding keyword placement.
