If you don’t know the meaning of these words then let me explain you. Head terms are keywords phrases that are generally shorter & more generic, means directly related to your business, they’re typically just 1 to 3 words in length, depending on your product & business. Long-tail keywords, on the other hand, are longer keyword phrases usually containing 1 or 3 words but are generic also. Keep in mind that search terms or keywords should be related to your business.

3. After getting all the suitable keywords find their allintitle rank on Google. This ranking will tell you the no. of pages that have same keyword in their Title tag. It is a great way to verify how many other sites are also using those keywords. And you should try to choose those keywords whose allintitle come in-between (according to my experience) 1 to 300. These chosen keywords helps you to rank your website on the first SERP’s, it means search engine result pages that comes on the first page when you find something on the search engines. As all we know that people hit on that links that comes first on SERP.
