By Pallabi
As a beginner in SEO (Search Engine Optimization), it is natural for you to feel that there is an ocean of topics to be explored and learned in this field. But to begin with and to create a strong foundation, here is a list of SEO strategies you may focus on in 2025 and beyond, making it easy for you to track and boost your site performance. Keyword Analysis - The first step towards an effective SEO strategy is proper keyword analysis. You can do it either by brainstorming, looking at the keyword suggestions at the bottom of the SERP, or using tools like Google Keyword Planner, Keyword Tool, SEMRush, Ubersuggest, etc. Long-tail keywords contribute to targeting specific customers. This should again be supported by additional or related keywords. It is always better to go for low-competition and high-volume ones.  Competitor Analysis - Once you get the keywords, analyze what type of search results are shown on the first page of Google and which are the sites that have good ranking.

Long-Tail and Short-Tail Keywords

By Pallabi

Quite unlike the names, neither long-tail nor short-tail keywords have any direct relation with the number of words they have. However, they are definitely related to the type of query or search that the visitor is trying to make in the search engine. Let us elaborate on this important topic of Search Engine Optimization(SEO). 


Long-Tail and Short-Tail Keywords
When asked to explain short-tail or long-tail keywords, we often explain the former having a maximum of 3 to 4 words in them and the latter having more than that. But the actual logic is if you try to do a detailed or specific search, e.g. "Eco-friendly tote bags for women in Amazon"), you will end up giving a long description using many words. Thus, this is a long-tail keyword because you are searching for only eco-friendly tote bags, which are meant for women and sold on Amazon. 

On the other hand, if you type "eco-friendly bags," your search widens to any eco-friendly bags that may be suitable for both men and women, may or may not be a tote bag, and may be sold by any e-commerce website. Moreover, this keyword does not even specify whether you really want to purchase the bags. So here you are just using 2- 3 words to describe your search. These types of keywords are short-tail ones.

Thus, from the above explanation, it is clear that short-tail keywords are more general in nature, and long-tail keywords are more precise or detailed in nature, irrespective of how many words they possess. It should also be noted that due to their general description, short-tail keywords will have a lot of competition compared to long-tail ones. 

However, what type of keyword you need to use in your content and how you research and find the same to promote the website, products, and services will depend on many factors, such as the kind of products and services that you provide, the market that you would like to cater to, the volume of sales you plan to meet, the competition levels, and so on. 

I hope I have provided some valuable insight into the topic. If you like it, let me know in the comments.
