🔎Find Long-tail Keywords

Uncover a fresh approach to keyword research, distinct from conventional tools.

In this section, we will demonstrate how to fetch long-tail keywords from Google Autocomplete, Reddit, Quora, or any site.

Fetching Long-tail Keywords

Visit https://app.larseo.app/keywords/finder, you will see a simple form with a search bar.

Step 1

Enter your seed keyword. For example, “dog food”. You can also use a wildcard (*) as a placeholder, something like: “how to change *”, or “best * for *”.

Step 2

Select a locale. Larseo uses locale info to check keyword search volume and identify which Google version (UK, US, etc) yields the best results.

Step 3

Select a keyword source below.

Larseo will fetch keywords from Google Autocomplete which is one of the best sources to find long-tail keywords.

The seed keyword "dog food" will give you keywords like dog food for sensitive stomach, dog food container, dog food recipes, etc.
"best book for *" will only provide keywords that are of type "best book for something".
"how to * book *" => "how to something book something".

Sometimes, you will get location-based keywords like dog feed near me, best dog food [city], you can exclude them by using Negative Filters feature.

Google PAA is Google People Also Asked and this is the best question keyword database.

You just need to enter a seed keyword, Larseo will fetch question keywords that related to your seed keyword. You can enter up to 1000 seed keywords. Each keyword is on its own line. The more seed keywords you enter, the more question keywords you will get.

The unique point of Larseo is that it can help you do keyword research on a specific site such as Quora, Reddit, or any other site you want.

But why Quora and Reddit are worth doing keyword research?

Because they are the largest online question-and-answer platform, where you can find tons of content ideas and, of course, various question-based-long-tail keywords. Moreover, if a keyword is ranked in the top 10 by Reddit or Quora, it may indicate a low level of competition, thus allowing you to rank for that keyword with minimal effort.

This is the syntax for searching ranked keywords of a site.

seed keyword site:reddit.com

If you are conducting keyword research for a programming blog, you can be certain that Stack Overflow (stackoverflow.com) contains many keywords relevant to the niche.

python site:stackoverflow.com

You can click the Advance Setting button to change the keyword position or search volume ordering. By default, Larseo will only pull keywords that are ranked in the top 10 of a site and prioritize the keywords that have the most search volume.

Step 4 (For Autocomplete source only)

There are 3 modes for Autocomplete source.

Larseo adds each letter of the alphabet and applies popular modifiers to the seed keyword. This allows Larseo to explore a wide range of related autocomplete suggestions.

Larseo uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to generate semantic keywords based on your seed keyword. This mode increases the number of keywords by 15-20% compared to Manual mode.

This mode is ideal for retrieving keywords related to a specific topic. For example, searching

how to change * topic:"automotive”

will return results like “how to change car battery” or “how to change car oil”, instead of unrelated results like “how to change an avatar picture”.

A tip when fetching keywords from Google Autocomplete with Topic mode

You can add a wildcard (*) to your seed keyword, Larseo will respect your pattern.

topic:"food" can I * will give you:

can I eat tofu raw
can I freeze yogurt

while topic:"food" can I will give you as many keywords as possible:

what can I make with yogurt
what can I steam dumplings in
can I eat tofu raw

This mode helps you find keywords that are related to the entities in your niche.

best entity:"cooking equipment" for *

Larseo will find entities that related to "cooking equipment" and give you keywords like: "best knife for filleting salmon" or "best knife for cutting meat".

By using this mode, you can easily find untapped keyword ideas. These keywords are associated with entities, allowing you to include them and enhance your topical authority.

Here are some popular ways to use the Entity mode:

best entity:"cooking equipment" for *
entity:"cooking equipment"
can I entity:"cooking"
entity:"rowing machine" review
tesla vs entity:"car models"

Results:

Pro Tip: By using a wildcard (*) with this mode, you can find numerous keywords that follow a pattern for Programmatic SEO.

If you have a hard time figuring out the seed keywords, you should spend more time brainstorming topic ideas upfront
