As a marketer, long-tail keywords represent specific intentions, specific pain points, and specific desires of your target audience.
When we’re looking for our ideal long-tail keywords, we’re looking for a few things:
1. At least 4 words. The longer, the more specific, the more you know, the better.
2. Describes a product feature. Modifier words that make the search for a product more specific. Words like “low top” “waterproof” or “all-terrain” included in the phrase make the search more specific.
3. Describes a trait of the searcher. Modifier words that describe a condition or personal trait of the searcher make things even more specific. This includes phrases with words like “for women” “for flat feet” “for athlete’s foot.”
4. Low keyword difficulty (SEO metric) score.
Keep in mind that building up your SEO ranks is definitely a marathon and not a sprint. It is not something that can be fixed overnight. It takes a dedicated effort to implement these changes on all of the pages on your site. SEMrush is here to help you on your journey of adding the perfect long tail keywords for your marketing campaigns and making you more authoritative online.

I am trying to use this technique, but the option to filter by the number of keywords is missing?
Thanks for the video. It's very useful. I'm using Yoast SEO for my blog posts. Usually Yoast will count stop words as a problem if I have them in my focus keywords. Does that matter that I have stop words? But it seems that if you want a long-tail keyword, you want more of a phrase, which would naturally require stop words – eg "creative ways to make studying more interesting". Does it matter it has words like "to"? And is that kind of focus keyword too long for Yoast or is it fine as a long-tail keyword? Is that the sort of thing I want to go for?
Can you imagine the longer the keyword tail is the lower the percentages will go? There are an infinite amount of words you can put together. So I need this.
