To find low-difficulty keywords related to your topic, follow these steps:
Keyword Research Tools: Use keyword research tools such as Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, Ahrefs, Ubersuggest, etc. Enter your topic or seed keyword and search for related keywords with low competition or difficulty.
Long-tail keywords: Long-tail keywords are specific phrases that typically have low competition. Focus on long, detailed keywords that are directly related to your topic. These often have less competition and can therefore attract more targeted traffic.
Google Autocomplete and Related Searches: Start typing your topic or seed keyword into Google Search and note the autocomplete and related search suggestions at the bottom of the search results page. These can give you insight into what people are searching for and can help you find less competitive keywords.
Competitor Analysis: See what keywords your competitors are targeting. Identify keywords that your customers may be missing or that you can compete on more effectively. Tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs can help you analyze your competitors.
Use low competition metrics: Look for keywords with low competition metrics, such as B. Low difficulty value, low CPC (cost per click), or low search volume. These metrics indicate less competition and can make rankings easier.
Focus on niche topics: Discover niche subtopics within your main topic. These themes often have low competition because they are aimed at a specific audience. Look for keywords related to specific problems, solutions, or interests in your field.
Check forums and Q&A sites: Search forums like Quora, Reddit, or industry-specific forums related to your topic. Look for questions and discussions that show what people in your field are interested in. These can provide ideas for less competitive keywords.
Content Gaps: Identify content gaps within existing search results. Look for topics and questions related to your area of expertise that aren't well covered by existing content. Filling these gaps with optimized content can help you rank for less competitive keywords.
Remember to prioritize keywords that not only have less competition but also match your content goals and audience. Quality content that provides value to your audience will ultimately contribute to long-term success in search engine rankings.

There are several ways to do it.
- Consider analyzing your competitors
- Use SEO keyword research tools like Moz, Ahrefs, or semrush.
Enter the seed keyword in any of the tools recommended above, and now filter the low difficulty keywords by keeping the keywords' difficulty up to 0-5. Make sure you manually check the SERP pages of each keyword.
This is what I do for my client. -
The answer to your question is - to find low-hanging fruit keywords.
Low-hanging fruit keywords typically show up on Google's second, third, or even bottom page. Despite the low search traffic, they are still able to draw in the right audience because of the lower competition.
To find and use such keywords to generate more traffic for your site, you ca n follow this guide - SEO Low Hanging Fruit Keywords -

Domain keyword ranking
I used to use Searchmetrics (years ago) which enabled me to add in the domain name into their website, and it would provide all the keywords that rank for it. Does Moz do that do you know? Thanks

Bye Bye Keyword Difficulty Tool :(
So the Keyword Difficulty Tool will be retired from the end of this month. Is anyone else worried about this? - because I just don't trust the numbers coming back from Keyword Explorer. Never have. I've even raised this with Moz staff previously, when there was a huge difference between the score given by the keyword difficulty tool vs keyword explorer. From what I see in Domain and Page authority and in the SERPs then the score from keyword difficulty tool, was always more accurate, and thankfully have been able to use both tools, but from next month I feel somewhat uneasy about solely relying on the score from Keyword Explorer. Thoughts? and feel free to run your own tests on keywords and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

How granular should I get with Keyword research?
I'm doing KW research for a new business. My understanding from KW research guides: Use tools to create a list of thousands of keywords Analyze difficulty and search volume Reduce your list and do on page optimization for your select KWs My dilemma with this approach is that it seems "keyword based" rather than "intent" or "category" based. e.g. Let's say I have a grocery store. Ignoring SEO, I know that these are my main categories: Produce Meat Dairy Canned Goods Baked Goods In other words, the above categories are the general "intents" and "categories" that I'd really want to rank for. Keyword tool shows that they have high volume and high difficulty. Let's say that after doing keyword research, I discover "Low Fat Chicken Breasts" and "Turkey Sausage" and "Cheap Meat Wholesale" have decent search volume and low competition. I don't quite understand how I'm supposed to utilize these fringe keywords in my on page SEO plan because it doesn't make sense as a human to categorize my site that way. Not sure if this is clear. Basically I'm trying to figure out if I should really be getting this granular on keywords to help guide my store categories or if I should just be picking broader terms.

Setting Up a Keyword Matrix
Greetings MOZ community!! My real estate web site contains about 500 pages with perhaps 70 pages targeting low volume, somewhat valuable but not very competitive keywords. Three to four URLs target very competitive terms. The following terms are among the most valuable: New York City office space,
Keyword Research | | Kingalan1
New York office space,
Manhattan office space,
NYC office space Such variants as: Office space in New York City,
Office space in New York,
Office space in Manhattan,
Office space in NYC
ETCETERA convert really well How would I match different terms to different URLs? For example I have just re-written the following two critical URLs: www.nyc-officespace-leader.com (home page)
http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/commercial-space/office-space (product page) Would it make sense to use "Manhattan office space" and variants on the home page while excluding "New York City office space" variants? At the same time I would use "New York City office space" variants on the "office-space" product page while excluding all mention of "Manhattan office space". Is this logical and does it conform to SEO best practices? For the "NYC office space" terms I would add them to http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/listings. This URL has almost no text but a strong potential to rent because of a high number of incoming internal links. Is this approach sensible? In general what measures should I take to prevent URLs from competing for the same keywords? Also, is there a software package or tools that I can use to come up with keyword variants? As a non SEO professional, can I create my own keyword matrix or is this really in the realm of a professional SEO consultant? Thanks, Alan0 -
Include Location in Keywords?
I understand Google's local search automatically searches keywords with the location you are searching from. For example if I'm searching from Calgary and query "best shoe repair", Google knows I'm searching from Calgary and presents Calgary based results. I'm using Google's new Keyword Planner tool which allows for city based search results, meaning I don't have to include "Calgary" in the keywords I submit. The question I have is should I be attaching "Calgary" to my keywords for on-page optimization, and why or why not? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
