The keys themselves are divided into several types according to frequency - the number of requests for a key phrase. Among Internet marketers, they still believe that queries with a low frequency or consisting of a large number of words are not suitable for website promotion. Because they cannot provide traffic comparable to high-frequency keywords. But long-tail requests are classified as low-frequency ones. And with them, things are a little different. With the right approach, they can be an effective tool for increasing traffic.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#1\">1.

Most low-frequency queries consist of three or more words, but exact queries of one or two words are also included in the &quot;longtail&quot; category.<\/p>\n<p>The ratio of query frequency and conversion is clearly illustrated by the search demand curve:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4.8. 0\u2033 _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>in the world, a lot of users are interested in smartphones, entering a simple and high-frequency query &quot;smartphone&quot;;<\/li>\n<li>it is possible to single out a narrower audience that is only interested in Samsung smartphones - the basic key of this category with a lower frequency of &quot;samsung smartphones&quot;;<\/li>\n<li>further along the demand curve, requests are less and less frequent, for example, \u201cSamsung Galaxy smartphone\u201d;<\/li>\n<li>in the final part, experts consider a long list of requests, the frequency of which can range from one to five impressions per month or even be zero, for example, \u201csamsung galaxy series list and price\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The search demand curve shows that a huge number of keywords with low frequency add up to the so-called &quot;long tail&quot;. The potential of which began to grow with the development of search engines and SEO in general.<\/p>\n<p>There are three main categories of long tail queries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>thematic;<\/li>\n<li>complementary;<\/li>\n<li>mixed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&quot;1-1&quot; _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Thematic long-tail queries<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>They point to a specific topic. The most accurate ones are suitable as the main keywords for pages that you want to promote for low-frequency queries.<\/p>\n<p>For example, &quot;how to learn to swim crawl.&quot; The query frequency is low: up to 540 impressions per month without specifying the region. In addition to special elements (blocks with advertising, videos, a list of local companies), the issue on it consists entirely of thematic materials that accurately answer the user&#039;s request.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&quot;https:\/\/dits.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/zapros-kak-naucitsa-plavat-krolem.png&quot; title_text=&quot;zapros-kak-naucitsa-plavat-krolem&quot; align= \u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.8.0\u2033 _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.8.0\u2033 _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb]<\/p>\n<p>Thematic long-tail queries have the following characteristics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>relatively complex wording;<\/li>\n<li>high detail;<\/li>\n<li>accurate intent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The issuance of them is low competitive and consists of pages of a specific narrow topic.

The issue will consist not only of pages about the methods of lacing sneakers, but also of pages about the technique of lacing shoes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&quot;https:\/\/dits.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/zapros-tehnika-snurovki-krossovok.png&quot; title_text=&quot;zapros-tehnika-snurovki-krossovok&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; _builder_version =&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<p>The frequency of the query &quot;lacing shoes&quot;, also related to this topic, is higher - from 1600 impressions per month.

Accessories, voice assistants, products like Google Home have created a need for natural language search.<\/p>\n<p>Search engines began to better understand the context of phrases, slang and adapt to the &quot;conversational&quot; style of queries. Conversational speech is developing dynamically, so the system algorithms are constantly being improved in order to correctly recognize queries in voice search.<\/p>\n<p>Its popularization also works in the opposite direction: the constant generation of variations of the same query or phrase by users causes search engines to take them for the same. This happens to compensate for the increasing number of queries in the search.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&quot;2-2&quot; _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Question Form<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to voice requests, people often use questions. Moreover, the same one can be asked in different ways (use introductory words that clarify details). And search algorithms learn to understand these LTs.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, systems can take variations of the same request for the same. How to understand when this happens and why?<\/p>\n<p>Perform N-gram analysis. An N-gram is a specific sequence of n elements. In the context of keywords:<\/p>\n<p>the query &quot;music&quot; is a 1-gram;<br \/> the query &quot;what kind of music can be used in tiktok&quot; - 6-gram (sequence of 6 words).<br \/> Representing a query using an N-gram allows you to understand its naturalness, as well as the weight of each element n within the phrase.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you want to optimize your content for low-frequency queries within the \u201cexercise bikes\u201d category. The query \u201cwhich inexpensive exercise bike is better to buy\u201d is best broken down using an n-gram. And to conduct an incomplete n-gram analysis - manually change each individual word in the phrase and see how and how much the search results change.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, you can use paid and free tools for n-gram analysis in SEO.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>!SEMTools;<\/li>\n<li>PEMAVOR;<\/li>\n<li>Ngram Analyzer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Specifically, in the case of exercise bikes, replacing the words \u201cinexpensive\u201d with \u201cbudget\u201d, \u201cexercise bike\u201d with \u201cbike trainer\u201d and even \u201cbuy\u201d with \u201cchoose\u201d will not play a significant role.<\/p>\n<p>Issuance before changes:<\/p>\n<p>4.8. 0\u2033 _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<p>Output after changes:<\/p>\n<p>4.8. 0\u2033 _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<p>But a more noticeable change in search results will occur when the word \u201cinexpensive\u201d is replaced with \u201ccheap\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&quot;https:\/\/dits.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/change-poiskovoj-vydaci-proizojdet-pri-zamene-slova-1.png&quot; title_text=&quot;change-poiskovoj-vydaci- proizojdet-pri-zamene-slova (1)&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<p>In any case, when analyzing the issue, it should be taken into account that the basis of the subject matter of the request depends on the word \u201cexercise bike\u201d, since it fully characterizes the intent.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting queries with N-grams is not a panacea, and neither is tailoring for voice search.

This gives you the choice of how to progress depending on your budget and time. You can create the most targeted page for each element from the group and promote it separately. Or create a common page with a larger-scale material and promote it for several keyword options at once.<\/p>\n<p>You can go further and collect even less frequent queries using geotags, comparing some terms with others, complicating the question form, and so on. You can create a separate section on the site for a specific topic and include pages with questions and exact answers, each of which will be promoted for a specific request.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot; background_color=&quot;rgba(0,69,160,0.08)&quot; custom_padding=&quot;60px|60px|60px|60px|true|true&quot; border_radii=&quot;on| 5px|5px|5px|5px&quot; locked=&quot;off&quot;]<\/p>\n<p>The main thing in this promotion scheme is that the issue does not contain a large number of competitor pages that contain large-scale materials promoted by high-frequency queries.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<p>Using this strategy, you will collect more traffic by ranking in the top for each low-frequency request.

Moreover, traffic on low-frequency queries will be more targeted.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&quot;5-2&quot; _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Promotion for complementary long-tail queries<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Complementary LT results are formed with a large number of pages promoted by high-frequency queries. By choosing this type of promotion, you should not create separate pages for each request. Spend a lot of effort and budget, and search engines will consider them part of another, larger topic.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, complementary keywords should be used in promotion auxiliaryly. Analyzing the top results for them, you will find the main queries in the subject: they can be both thematic long-tail and medium- or high-frequency queries.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot; background_color=&quot;rgba(0,69,160,0.08)&quot; custom_padding=&quot;60px|60px|60px|60px|true|true&quot; border_radii=&quot;on| 5px|5px|5px|5px&quot; locked=&quot;off&quot;]<\/p>\n<p>In this case, in your promotion strategy, rely on the main queries, and for complementary long-tail phrases, create additional paragraphs or blocks of information, for example, the FAQ block.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&quot;4.8.0&quot; _module_preset=&quot;default&quot;]<\/p>\n<p>If you can reach the top with such a page for the main query, most of the LTs that complement it will also reach the top.

You can promote requests as complementary, or vice versa - as thematic ones.<\/p>\n<p>In the first case, it is necessary to create large materials that will include many low-frequency queries and blocks with additional information, as well as significantly increase the degree of page authority for search engines by pumping up the link profile.<\/p>\n<p>In the second case, you need a narrowly focused material or several materials for individual requests with a full disclosure of the topic, and it is also important to link them to each other and to other materials on the site using internal links.<\/p>\n<p>The choice of strategy depends on the availability of time, budget and your skills. But one thing is clear - high-quality and unique content that is useful to users is one of the most important factors when promoting long-tail queries.<\/p>\n<p>Study the top keywords and make a list of the content that needs to be mentioned on the page and the features that make the page a quality one.

But you should not focus on low-frequency keywords and focus on creating 100 or 200 highly targeted pages filled with template content.<\/p>\n<p>Properly implement long-tail keywords in the semantic space of your project, work on the quality of content, analyze the niche of your site and monitor the global reaction of search engines to LT keywords.
