Thanksgiving Keywords + SEO Difficulty
With Thanksgiving upon us, I thought it would be fun to do a little SEO keyword research focusing on some foods of Thanksgiving. Below is a table showing Thanksgiving SEO keywords with Search Volume / Month and SEO Difficulty.
An SEO variable I want to highlight with the SEO keyword research is SEO Difficulty. The higher the number, the more difficult it will be to rank highly for the keyword. If you are looking to gain exposure as a company with a new website, a constant theme from Google Office Hours is to find a niche or long tail keywords. This would mean to focus on keywords with low SEO difficulty. Review the table below to see how this applies to Thanksgiving keywords.
