How to Find 1,000s of Low Competition Keywords in Minutes

by

I’ve never seen anyone else talk about this keyword research strategy.

I probably shouldn’t give it away for free.

But that’s exactly what I’m gonna do…

I’ll get straight to it. No fluff.

There are two ways to do this.

One way using Ahrefs, which costs $99/month.

The other way using Keywords Everywhere, which costs just $1.25/month.

Both work fine.

You’ll also need lowfruits. It costs ~$30/month and it’s SO worth it.

Okay. On to the strategy.

Step 1. Keyword Harvesting

Using Ahrefs

  1. First, gather a list of competitors in your niche. It doesn’t matter if they’re strong or weak, high DA/DR or low.
  2. Enter each into Ahrefs Site Explorer, and go to the Top Pages report. Set the position filter to top 10.
  3. Export the report.
  4. Repeat for each site.

Using Keywords Everywhere

  1. Same thing, first get a list of competitors in your niche.
  2. For each one, click the KE extension icon, and click the Organic Ranking Keywords (Domain) link.

3. Once on that report, click the Add All Keywords button, and then export them to Excel.

BONUS: For even more easy keyword ideas, gather all the keywords in your niche from RANKIQ. I always find some absolute gems there.

Step 2: Combine Keywords

  1. Create a blank Excel file.
  2. Open each Excel file you exported in the last step. Copy and paste all the keywords from each exported file (and from RANKIQ if you used it) into the new blank Excel file you created. They should all be in one column titled “Keywords”.

Step 3: Find the Gems

  1. Open lowfruits, and go to the Import tab.
  2. Fill in the necessary fields, upload the list of keywords you made in the last step, check Analyze all (this will cost 1 credit per keyword), and click Import.
  3. Once all keywords have been analyzed, set the Weak Spots filter to at least 1 in the top 10.

4. Sort by SERP ANALYSIS (the column with the SERP results) to organize the keywords by number of weak spots.

“Weak spots” are forums and sites with low authority. If you see weak spots on the first page, the keyword is a lot more likely to be easy to rank for than if the first page were dominated by large sites like Forbes or NY Times.

Although, I should mention that after Google’s most recent Helpful Content Update, Reddit, Quora, and forums are ranking much better than before. So at this point, I wouldn’t consider those as weak spots necessarily.

So, instead of filtering by weak spots, you might want to filter by domain authority (just click the DA < 10 button on lowfruits, under the Weak Spots button).

And that’s how to find 1,000s of low competition keywords in just minutes!
