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!

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.
