    Make sure that your content lines up with what people are searching for. For instance, a hospital-related article titled "Sunny Side Up" might not get many hits, since people searching for "sunny side up" would be looking for egg-related articles.

    The more volume a keyword has, the harder it's going to be to rank. That's just the name of the game sometimes. You might try ranking for a variety of longer tailwords instead. So, if you want to rank on something like "woman owned," you could try "woman owned website companies" instead. That's a good way to get around it so you get at least some exposure in that space.

    It's not going to happen most of the time. It's all about a sustained effort that needs to take place over time. There's a snowball effect that happens with SEO; as you start getting a few clicks, Google starts prioritizing the result, and then you get more clicks and more clicks. After a while, you'll be fully established. It won't take place overnight, though!
