🦎What are long-tail keywords?

Long-tail keywords are search queries that get a small number of searches per month. They tend to be longer and more specific than their β€œhead” counterparts and, therefore, often have a higher conversion rate.

For example, the keyword β€œmeditation” is a β€œhead” keyword because it gets 211k searches per month. The keyword β€œcan meditation make you smarter” is a long-tail keyword because it only gets 50 searches per month.
