What is a low-competition keyword?
Basically, it’s a keyword that’s easy to rank for. But with so many different Google ranking factors, people generally think of low competition keywords as topics that don’t require a lot of backlinks to rank high.
But ranking high on Google isn’t always just about backlinks.
Here’s a 5-step process which will help you find low competition keywords.
The first step is to brainstorm a list of topics. Topics means broad keywords that are related to your niche.
The second step is to expand your topics with a keyword research tool.
Keyword research tools give you information about how often words and phrases are searched. They’re also the main way SEOs generate keyword lists.
You’ll learn which tool to use and how to use it.
Step three is to filter keywords for low difficulty scores. You’ll learn how to do this in the video.
The fourth step is to check if you can match search intent. Search intent tells us the reason behind a searcher’s query. And if you can’t match searcher intent, you won’t be able to rank -- even if the query is so-called “low competition.”
You’ll learn how to figure out a keyword’s search intent in the video.
The final step is to assess if the keyword is truly low-difficulty.
Metrics like keyword difficulty and referring domains can only tell you so much. And while combining these metrics can be helpful, they don’t always paint a full picture.
This video will show you how to do this.
Low competition keywords are great to target when your website is fairly new or has low authority, they shouldn’t be the only strategy you use. Higher competition topics generally lead to more traffic and links, two things that all SEOs are after. Plus. competitive topics usually have higher commercial value.
So it’s still worth going after competitive topics but you should set your time horizon realistically.

Do you have a video on Off Page SEO? So far you are the ONLY person that makes it easy for me to understand SEO.
We have a post on off-page SEO: ahrefs.com/blog/off-page-seo/ But since off-page SEO is mostly link building, we have tons of videos on that topic: ua-cam.com/play/PLvJ_dXFSpd2tjUTuAHpHidz5e2hAedP_m.html

Awesome tutorial. Tnx for sharing.
You’re welcome!
i JUST FELT LIKE,,,, I still need to learn a lot about Keyword Research :( I used to use KGR or LOW DA Analysis technique,,, but this video gave me a new concept of Keyword Research.
Thank you so much for such videos.
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot for the quality content, Sam!

Thank you for amazing value in this video Ahref's !

Thank you Sam for another great video. A question, what is your best advice for the situation where both KD and Referring Domains are low but want to outrank sites with great brand equity?
It depends. Hard to give a general answer.

What an amazing tutorial!!
Glad it was helpful!
After watching this video I would like to Say Content is King !
Thank you!
Great and very specific tutorial Sam , as always. Do you have a detailed tutorial for finding low competition keywords by using content explorer??
Specifically using Content Explorer? No video tutorial for that yet, but you can easily filter for low-competition topics using the backlinks/referring domains filter.
- SQ
@@AhrefsCom it would be great if you post detail tutorial to find keywords through content explorer
i decided to suscribe today after reading your blog you are very good
Welcome aboard!
Great video. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you so much. Any words on how to proceed when search intent isn’t completely clear? I’ve seen examples where there are multiple content types in the top 10 SERPs. In a case like this, should I still consider it a low competition keyword to go after? Also, you mentioned the freshness content angle. What are other common content angles that you’ve come across? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for watching the video! We'll have a video on mixed search intent this Wednesday - don't miss it out, I hope you'll find answers to your question there :)

Hey sam, I'm a beginner at SEO and I've also a paid version of ahrefs. I'm having issue in accessing your SEO tool. I would love if you create a detailed video on ahrefs and how to use each and every functionality. And what does a particular function do. Waiting for your kind response

Hi Sam. Thank you for all free and valuable content you and your team provide us with. I have been watching your videos for long time and I have one question regarding no-follow links. At the moment I'm building an e-commerce website. On my homepage, there are different categories. Men's Womens,Kids set up underneath the banner. Should I no follow this links because I also already have the same categories on the main menu above? Also should I no follow all URLs on Recent Posts widget in the sidebar as this might cause duplicate content? And should I also no follow all pagination links .
Thanks in advance.
There isn't really a good reason to nofollow an internal link.

useful information, thanks sam :)

Sam Oh
I'm framing this, awesome video. ty
👍
Your videos are fantastic! Question, I'm assume the value of high competition keywords takes into account that with a whole lot more searches and clicks people are willing to go beyond the first screen. Obviously getting 1% of 1 million searches per month is better than capturing 100% of 2000 searches. Is there any general rule for the percentage drop off in expected volume for listing 21-30,31-40 etc...?
I don't have the exact CTR stats but clicks drop off exponentially across the first page. It's not a linear decrease, where positions 3, 4, 5 and through 10 gets similar clicks. So, I'd imagine that you'll get

Hello,
At 09:57, you searched for a new niche and aimed to identify words with low competition and high traffic. However, almost all of the websites in these search results are websites with a low number of backlinks but high domain authority. This is similar to the compact flash card reader example regarding false positive implementation. I'm a little confused here. Can you help me clarify this point?
Thank you "Ahrefs" for provide SEO Tools. I use your tools for my Client Project. Hope this video will be helpful to find Low Competition Keywords.
You're welcome!

Honestly, if you watch this Ahrefs specialized video, all of the values behind it are very good thinking through the super app, so I really appreciate this sharing, it has helped me a lot.
Happy to hear that!

you don't need text generator. existing assistants do not allow to get effective meaning. Rate informative publications purpose-built at TextScout content intelligence platform
How much time does it take to rank. Do Off page optimization is required.
Ahrefs always puts out the best videos,
Thanks!
Thanks a lot
You're welcome!
Hey sam, great video but it would be great if you make video more often like 3 or 4 videos a week.
I have just signed up with ahrefs and watching your videos, all are great but try to make video on long tail keywords your previous one is good but can't understand.
Thanks for your feedback. We have a ton of videos on our channel and feel free to watch them. We'll try our best to make more but we're prioritising the quality of content right now. If we can make more while maintaining the quality, we'll do our best.

After having tried Ahrefs, I can say that Semrush Is miles better in almost every way...More data.. More Keywords... More accurate Volumes...Way better KW Grouping/ Sorting, Much better to research what to write article about , etc... Good video/feature tho.
Why do you think their search volumes are more accurate?
- SQ
True. I have cross checked it with my google search console data. Semrush's seach volume is more accurate than ahref. Even the keywords (long tail with low volume) for which i am getting a traffic, ahref still not showing that keyword while doing keyword research, but semrush did it even before i used it
Thank you for such a valuable Content 😍 But I don't have money to buy Ahref Subscription 😔

Sam :) Can i use ahrefs site explorer for keyword research?
Yes, but it's not your "traditional" way of doing keyword research. Few things that come up:
1/ Top pages reports of your competitor's pages.
2./ Competing domains to find more competitors' top pages to research.
3/ Content gap
-Sam
@@AhrefsCom Thanks Sam :)
Perhaps this is for another video, but I am wondering, how many content formats and angles are most common for a blog?
No exact numbers, but a few common ones you'll see are listicles, how-tos, guides, expanded definitions. More here: ahrefs.com/blog/blog-post-templates/

- SQ
You don't have to worry about the backlinks! these aren't hard to get!
You can use broken link strategy:
Broken link building involves three simple steps:
1: Find a relevant broken link on a website
2: Create something similar to the broken resource
3: Ask anyone linking to the dead resource to instead link to your working resource
6:16 But Moz considers backlinks AND Domain Authority of the first 10 websites, so it is a better tool for search analysis because it is more granular and considers more variables.
But Moz's Domain Authority is not used by Google :) It's another data point, sure, but more data points don't necessarily always mean it becomes more accurate.
- SQ
@@AhrefsCom Thank you for your reply.
Hey Sam, is there will be a expired domain finding feature that shows high authority expired domains,
If not then let me know where can I find one tool like that.

how to you filter keywords to screen out searches by DIYers? In many businesses serving customers who want to delegate, DIYers would be irrelevant but it seems hard to identify good keywords based only on searches by delegators, not DIYers
I can’t even rank for low kd keywords what’s the usual cause of this? I’m usually on position 50-80 on most of my posts
Sir, I have one question with you. Now I am doing work on one hospital website for SEO. When I was sitting for keywords research, then I got some keywords for 0 search volume and low keywords difficulty. Shall I take those keywords for optimization? Please guide me with your valuable advice.
It depends on whether they're relevant to your business :)
- SQ
@@AhrefsCom If it's being relevant to my business then can I take those keywords?
@@sonusaha9052 i would suggest you to use some of those keywords with other keywords, they will help google to understand your target!
How fast will I through my credits for searching keywords, filterinng ect on the lite plan. This is the main reason i have been hesitant on purchasing, I don't want to purchase then run through all my credits in one day as an example.
It depends on how much you use it.

How can you tell if its a blog, product or category by just looking at google? what is the give-away? i'm confused that you are able to identify what type of page it is so quickly.
Titles and URLs are usually clues. i.e. "Best X" are usually list posts (blogs), results from amazon are product/category, urls containing /product are product pages.

Why Ahrefs does not include China in countries list?!
Is it there, or it hasn't added there, and will it be there?!
Afaik, China doesn't use Google (at least officially) and right now, we only have data for Google in most of our tools.
- SQ
@@AhrefsCom please would you tell me what search engine they use so I can find them out!
This works fine if you're in a huge market like baby strollers. But what if you're in a market where you get 13 results in 'phrase match' and 99 % of them are irrelevant (e.g. mentioning reddit)?
Then you might want to look into a closely related niche that's not exactly yours.

What about $0 CPC but high search volume keyword, Can someone earn money using google ads from such sites?
Not sure what you mean. $0 CPC means no one is bidding for that keyword. You don't get any money from Google Ads (or even AdSense) looking at CPC values.

@@AhrefsCom But google shows ads based on user search pattern.
IF the keyword has high traffic and I build a website specially for that keyword, can i earn from adsense ?
