Hi, I'm new to SEO and I have a specific question. If we have a keyword like "Antique Art" with low Keyword Difficulty and high search volume, and we expand it to "Antique Art and Accessories," will I still rank for "Antique Art"?
Google considers partial matches when ranking websites. While adding “and Accessories” to your keyword “Antique Art” may not make you rank highly for the original keyword alone, it won’t eliminate your chances entirely. However, competition for the shorter keyword will be higher, making ranking difficult. Expanding your keyword to “Antique Art and Accessories” creates a more specific, longer-tail keyword, which could lead to better ranking for that particular phrase. It’s important to note that search volume exists for all keywords, even those that seem very specific.
