What is Long-tail keyword?
A specific, multi-word search query — usually three or more words — that has lower search volume but higher buyer intent than broad terms. Example: "vanilla bourbon soy candle 8oz" vs. just "candle."
Long-tail keywords are easier to rank for (less competition) and convert better (more specific intent). For new ecommerce stores, long-tail SEO is the primary path to organic traffic in the first 12 months while brand awareness builds.
