Article NOT ranking for Main keyword

Hello seo masters,

Since last 2-3 days i am Facing the issue in Ranking my articles.

Actually i am Writing articles on Such topic where no content is available in google means 0 compitition.

Everything was fine untill last 2 days.

Problem is my articles are not Ranking for main keyword i am targetting. But its ranking for shorter version of that keyword.

For example - if i write article on latest seo tips for new bloggers or for doctors.

So google dont rank my article for main keyword which is "seo tips for new bloggers" or "for doctor" instead google ranks for "seo tips" .

(this example is just for idea i am not working on this niche)

So i wonder why this is happening??

Anyone else have similar experience please help me to solve this.....

I mostly use Google search to find keywords.....

this is usually a matter of on-page optimization. That is...

1) did you add the EXACT keyword in the title of the article?
2) did you add the EXACT keyword in the 1st paragraph of the article?
3) did you add the EXACT keyword in the ALT tag of the first image of the page?
4) is the 1st image on the page EXACTLY what the keyword talks about, or is it just a generic image about SEO or about doctors? (you want to make the image as relevant to your keyword as possible)
5) is the name of the image EXACTLY the keyword you're targeting?
6) do you have any internal links pointing to this page with the EXACT anchor text as the keyword you're targeting? 1-2 internal links is enough, you don't need to overdo it...
7) do you mention the EXACT keyword 2-5% throughout your content? Keyword density is not as important as it used to be, but for new sites it could still help...
8) did you add enough, and / or the right LSI terms / SEO entities as per the instructions of tools like SEOSurfer, Frase.io, RankMath, etc?

Just a few SEO checkboxes that you need to tick...

It depends on other sites and articles your site is competing for.

according to my experience, the main reason behind is your main keyword might be competitive

It just needs content optimized for keyword.

In my opinion, the reason a page doesn't rank is too much competition. If you want to rank for a highly competitive term, try a long-tail keyword strategy. Write content that targets long-tail keywords with decent search volume and aligns with your target audience's intent.

Have you optimized the content for the right keywords you're targeting?

keyword clustering could be the issue mate .

In case your site is only a few weeks old, this will happen. Google takes time to rank newer sites and the rankings will fluctuate for different keywords.

Analyze the competitiveness of the keyword you are targeting. You may have trouble ranking for it if it is highly competitive, especially if your website lacks authority.

Writing a SEO optimized article does not guarantee that you will rank well. Your ranking depends on Google’s algorithm and your competitors’ strength. You should write SEO optimized articles regularly and hope for positive results.

1.There may be a problem with the difficulty of your keyword.
2. Discover low-competition keywords.
3.The quality of your content is low and its length is insufficient.

Optimize your SEO tittle with main keyword.
