When starting a new blog, do you focus on long-tail, low-competition keywords first, or try to target bigger keywords early? What’s worked best for you recently?

I don' think this works anymore. Google's algos has changed completely.

I just write naturally and let the algorithm do its thing. If I spot a low hanging fruit in that along the line, I place it aside and treat it better with solid backlinks and optimization.

Usually when I start a blog, I focus on “pillar” content. I aim for low hanging fruit, low comp key phrases with a targeted intent (depending on the niche and my goal). I then write filler content using the “spokes” method to help give my pillar content juice and to interlink my pages.

If you’re starting a new blog and you’re not a big brand, targeting big keywords early is a waste of time what actually works is going after long-tail, low competition keywords first to build topical authority, trust, and stable traffic, then moving up to bigger terms later once Google sees you as legit.

It works best for new blogs to focus on long-tail, low-competition keywords at the beginning, as they rank quickly, build traffic, and trust; later it becomes easier to target larger keywords based on that foundation.

I treat a new blog like warming up an engine. Long tail keywords get things moving fast and build topical signals. Big keywords come later, once Google already knows the site deserves to compete.

I usually start with long-tail, low-competition keywords to build early traction and trust. Once the site gains some authority and internal links, targeting bigger keywords becomes much easier and more sustainable

Focusing on long tail, low competition keywords first works best because it builds early traffic and authority before targeting bigger keywords.

Your starting is not bad at all. Just make sure KW does research and tries to post Human Touch content.

Consensus seems to be focusing on low-competition keywords. That combined with optimal quality and post length, as well as trying to get some decent backlinks (if possible) is the way to go early on.

[istossolutions]

For a new blog, start with long-tail, low-competition keywords to get early traffic and build topical authority.
Interlink posts to form a content hub, then target bigger keywords once your site has authority.
This approach grows traffic faster than going after big keywords from day one.

Low-competition and long-tail keywords gave me the best results.
