How to Find Easy Keywords (Beginner’s Guide)
One of the fastest ways to grow a micro site / micro website is to target easy keywords—low-competition, long-tail queries with clear intent. Use this simple process to find them and publish content quickly.
What is an easy keyword?
Easy keywords are terms you can rank for without a big budget or tons of links. They’re specific, problem-oriented, and the top results are often weaker sites.
- Instead of “SEO tools” → “best free SEO tools for beginners 2025”.
- Lower volume is fine if intent is strong and SERPs look weak.
Step 1 – Ways to find keyword ideas
- Google Autocomplete, “People also ask”, and related searches.
- Communities/forums: recurring questions and pain points.
- Your Search Console: queries where you almost rank.
Tip: Add modifiers like best, vs, under $, template, and pricing to surface intent.
Step 2 – Use a keyword tool
The fastest path is a tool with a clear Keyword Difficulty (KD). KWFinder (Mangools) is beginner-friendly and shows clean data.
Step 3 – Check difficulty & intent
- Difficulty: Prefer low KD + weak top-10 (forums, small blogs).
- Intent: Tutorial, “best” list, comparison, or pricing?
- Scope: One page per intent—don’t mix topics.
Step 4 – Publish & optimize
- Outline: H1 (query) → intro → H2 steps/benefits → H2 comparison/alternatives → CTA.
- Interlink to your Start Checklist, Tools, and relevant posts.
- Track the page; improve content sitting in positions 6–15 (“near-wins”). Consider SERPWatcher.
