How do you know if there’s a space to write an article on the 1st page on Google? (example in post)
Posted by on July 1, 2021 at 1:43 pmSo many times when I write a keyword – lets do a random example – “do birds eat bread” .
And what I see now in the results is “What scraps can I feed to birds”And then “Is bread bad for birds?”And then “Feeding your backyard birds”And then “Is it OK to feed bread to birds”etc.
And no one has in the title “Do birds eat bread”
So, what I don’t understand from this is does this mean the keyword is already taken, even though the results I see are kind of the same but not completely? Or does this mean there’s space to write an article about this?
And when I look at those number 1 websites, they all seem to have a good authority.
If you have any examples on keywords for which there IS space to write an article, that you know for sure, I’d deeply appreciate that, just so I can understand how that should look like.

The similar results you’re seeing are Googles interpretation of articles/websites/posts that they feel are relevant to your search term.
There might also be an exact keyword match, but upon assessment Google decided not to rank that post (this could be for several reasons).
So, if you wrote an article using a particular keyword and optimised it appropriately, then Google will rank it for search terms they feel are relevant.

The variations and partial matches for your Google query are a result of what I believe is referred to as ” semantic” search results. As the Google search algorithm gets smarter, it thinks it understands the search intent behind a long-tail keyword and subsequently brings up high DA results that it thinks are relevant to your query even if they don’t exactly match verbatim the query search terms.
