long-tail keywords are indeed still relevant . they help capture more specific searches with lower competition compared to broad short-tailed ones. with advancements like bert and rankbrain from google focusing on understanding search intent better, long-tails can provide valuable insights into user behavior for targeted content creation. tools such as ahrefs or semrush are great aids in finding profitable niches with high potential traffic thru these niche phrases.

long-tail keywords are still very much relevant in 2023. they may make up only a small percentage of search queries but they drive highly targeted traffic with high conversion rates due to their specificity and low competition compared to shorter head terms. incorporating long-tailed phrases into your content strategy can help improve rankings, reduce cpc for ppc campaigns, enhance user experience by providing more relevant results, and ultimately boost organic search performance overall - don't disregard them!
