What are long-tail keywords?

[jayam]

Long-tail keywords are longer and more specific keyword phrases that visitors are more likely to use when they're closer to a point-of-purchase or when they're using voice search.

Long tail keywords are search phrases with longer word counts. Their length makes them more specific than searches with fewer words. “Buy breathable running socks” (4 words) is an example of a long tail keyword, whereas “buy socks” is a short tail keyword.

Focusing on long-tail keywords is a great SEO tactic. Long-tail keywords are keywords or keyphrases that are more specific – and usually longer – than more commonly used keywords. Long-tail keywords get less search traffic, but will usually have a higher conversion value, as they are more specific.

Like other posters have said, they are more specific terms. For example, the search term "lawyer" is very basic and broad, whereas a longtail search term would be something like "divorce lawyers in dallas area." Hope that clears it up.

Hi,
Long tail keywords are search terms with relatively low search volume and competition levels. Also, long tail terms tend to be longer in length (3+ words) than most other keyword types. Even though few people search for individual long tail queries, when you add them together, long tails actually make up a large chunk of all Google searches.

There are two main reasons that you might want to focus on long tail keywords:
Reason #1: Long tail keywords aren’t that competitive
Reason #2: Long tail keywords have high conversion rates
