Yeah! I can understand your point..

At the same time, you need consider this also..

Imagine: You’re walking into a bustling market, full of vendors shouting to catch your attention. There’s one vendor with a loudspeaker, calling out to the masses:

“Hey, come buy my apples! Fresh, organic, delicious apples! Get them now!”

Sounds great, right? But you’re not sure if it’s really what you're looking for.

Now imagine you walk a little further, and you hear another vendor, quietly but confidently, saying:

“Are you looking for fresh, organic Granny Smith apples to make the perfect pie? I’ve got the best ones for you, right here!”

Immediately, you’re drawn to the second vendor. Why? Because they’re speaking directly to what you need. RIGHT!!!

Now, let’s take this analogy to the world of search engines.

When you create a website or blog, you’re essentially setting up your own “market stall” on the internet. There are thousands of other sites shouting into the void, hoping someone will stop by. But here’s the thing—people aren’t looking for generic “apples.” They’re often searching for something specific.

This is where long-tail keywords come in.....

On posting a lot of articles on food niche short or broad keywords like "healthy recipes" or "best food blogs" are super competitive. Everyone is using them, from big names to small startups. It’s like trying to sell apples in a crowded market.

Instead you can utilize the power of long-tail keywords: phrases that are more specific and less competitive.

For example, instead of just "healthy recipes," she could target "healthy gluten-free breakfast recipes for weight loss" or "easy vegan dinner recipes for beginners." These are much more specific—and therefore, easier to rank for.

Hope you get my point here..!!!

You should prefer using short and as well as long-tail keywords for your website to gain attention of target audience group more effectively..

Using long-tail keywords in local SEO is a powerful strategy for targeting specific, often less competitive, search queries. Long-tail keywords are phrases that are more specific and usually longer than standard keywords.

Here's how you can use them effectively in local SEO:

1. Focus on Location-Specific Phrases
2. Incorporate Local Intent
3. Use Natural Language
4. Include Local Landmarks or Features
5. Optimize for Voice Search
7. Leverage Google My Business (GMB) and Local Directories

By strategically using long-tail keywords, you can better align your website with local search intent and attract users who are looking for specific services or products in your area.
