Conclusion: –

Content is king; now, no business can live without it.

 

So, do try to add long-tail keywords on your website to get more engagement.

Secondly, we shouldn’t ignore paid ads. I know this is not the place to speak about paid ads, but I will tell you why I said this.

When you are a new brand or a blog, no one knows you, so how can you get to the top?

Brand building is necessary for the beginning.

Suppose you have ranked on the first page of Google, and other brands are there too, such as “Backlinko,” who will they click.

Definitely “Backlinko,” So to make yourself a brand, you need to use paid advertisements and their social media channels to make your brand known to everyone.

I won’t stress too much on this now because I think it’s clear that without long-tail keywords, we won’t be able to get ourselves on the same page as our competitors.
