Your approach is solid. I’d also add internal linking and a few supporting articles so Google sees you as relevant for that keyword.Hi everyone
As the title says, I want to rank on some lower difficulty keywords for my ecommerce website (let's just say that I sell clothing items)
From what I've seen on the forum + some other sources, I saw that the biggest factor was to create special dedicated pages for this keyword (e.g: keyword=buy pink dress sparkly => mywebsite.com/buy-pink-dress-sparkly), along with proper website speed, OnPage optimization, and the keyword to be present in the page, and also everything should align with Topical Authority of website/page
Is this information correct? Do you agree with this approach? What would you add/remove from this approach? Would love to see your guys opinions

yes, I agree. but my question was rather if I already have a dedicated page for "winter-jacket", would it be helpful to rank on the lower difficulty keyword "black winter jacket gucci" by creating a new dedicated page "black-winter-jacket-gucci"?You don't need pages for all keywords. You can write a blog post that covers several long tail keywords. However, it's better to have dedicated product page for each product.
thanks for your feedback. Indeed I agree that the days of keyword in URL are goneThis makes zero sense as to what I said. There’s many examples online of websites that no longer use keywords or any words in URLS but the domain name itself. Just because it’s Reddit means nothing in regard to algorithm ranking factors.
There’s articles from big SEO agencies that agree keyword in URL is not a ranking factor anymore, only keyword in meta title and in content.
I’m sure at this point you don’t know that Googles algorithm was leaked in 2024 either?

This user was telling you the same thing I did about your content and how to go about writing for long tail keywords so that the thin content “doorway” style pages you’re thinking of making won’t be considered thin content by the algorithm or a Google quality rater that comes to your website on behalf of Google and rates it (yes this is real).
In a content silo there is at the top of the silo your pillar article. That is a comprehensive article. The supporting content is content you write to support the pillar article by expounding more on specific sub topics you touch on in the pillar article. That is what supporting content is and means.
Seems like you got stuff to learn and try for yourself instead of viewing yourself as an expert. Good luck
Winter jacket is a category. So, you can publish informational content about all winter jackets. Black winter jacket Gucci is a specific product. People who search for it are those who already made a purchase decision. You need to sell them products, not information. So, if you have that specific product, then it's better to have a separate product page for that. Otherwise, you can stuff all such long tail keywords in the article containing main keyword winter jacket.yes, I agree. but my question was rather if I already have a dedicated page for "winter-jacket", would it be helpful to rank on the lower difficulty keyword "black winter jacket gucci" by creating a new dedicated page "black-winter-jacket-gucci"?
Hmm I guess you're right. Maybe I did not said what I meant correctly. Indeed what I said with Winter Jacket is a category, I agree. But what I wanted to say is this: if I already have a specific product (white gucci winter jacket), which let's say has a higher search volume already. And the keyword that has less difficulty to rank is "white gucci winter jacket female xxs" (Just an example), would it make sense to create another page just for this product, in order to rank?Winter jacket is a category.

There are some people in this thread who are not agreeing with this approach, as the keywords in the title are not a ranking factor that powerful (or not at all) nowadays. But let's not focus on that. My question to you here is: when you say to make sure the pages aren't thin, you are saying that I should add proper content I guess, but not repetitive, right? Let's take this example: I already have the produc "bmw car 2025 5 series". if I want to rank on the keyword "bmw car 2025 5 series 4.0 biturbo 568 horsepower" then this new page should have different content than the other one, right (but is still the same product, so I guess some variations should be done here?)Yeah, that approach works. Dedicated pages for specific keywords + solid on-page SEO + fast site = easy wins for low-competition terms. Just make sure the pages aren’t thin, add real content, variations, and internal links. That’s usually enough to rank those long-tails
No, it's not a good idea to create duplicate pages. However, you can create multiple pages for slight variations like color or design. Google might favour it or even show a carousel of similar products. If it's exactly same product, then you should cover additional keywords in the description instead of creating separate pages for them.Hmm I guess you're right.

Great, understood. thanks for your feedback!No, it's not a good idea to create duplicate pages. However, you can create multiple pages for slight variations like color or design.

this does not align with what the above user said, but thanks for the feedback.Yes you can do "keyword to sitemap" but make sure don't look spammy
