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.

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.

Use of LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) Keywords For Website Ranking

By Pallabi
Do you have a website that has the potential to reach a large part of the market and grab not just viewers but confirmed customers to buy products? Do you think that the main keyword that you choose to include within your website content can do the job?  Well, it may only sometimes be so. Along with the main keyword, many other closely related terms may mean the same and are also used by searchers to find what they are looking for online, quite like synonyms. These are called LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords.  Here, latent means hidden, semantic means meaning, and indexing means ranking in Google. Therefore, the term implies all sets of words that do not clearly specify what the visitor is looking for or have some hidden meaning. So, the first step for the content and website creator is to understand what may be the intention of the visitor or the searcher. The current SEO techniques Google has encouraged to help websites rank higher stress the ...
