For instance, when users are looking for a generic topic, they do not use detailed terms, on the other hand, when users tend to make a purchase, they will search the whole features of their favorite product as a comprehensive term. These terms are used for singular and plural nouns as well. In other words, plural terms are used to find general information. Additionally, in order to categorize and prioritize keywords, use suffixes and prefixes. Furthermore, use Google AutoComplete in order to understand relative search terms and find new ideas.<\/p>\n

Afterward, by using other tools you can get the domain authority<\/a> for your competitor’s websites that appear in the top results.
