How to do Keyword Research to Rank Higher in Google ? [My Personal Experience]

A few months ago I met a Pakistani client through Facebook. He gave me a keyword to write fully optimized blog post for his new blog which had DR 5.3 at that time (Now its 7).
As I am an SEO Specialist and write SEO blog posts, so i decided to analyse that keyword with the help of ubersuggest. In this tool, it showed search volume above 4000 and SD 42. Then I decided to check that keyword manually in Google.
Some high authority websites were ranking for that keyword and only one website had DR of 30 ( The Smallest DR among competitors). I told my client that it would be very difficult to rank this keyword and you would waste both money and time.
After which I persuaded him for my keyword research services for a few extra bucks. He agreed and gave me the job of keyword research in addition to writing a blog post.

I started working on keyword research with the help of Ubersuggest.
I couldn't find any suitable keyword but from there I found a suitable competitor whose domain rating was not so high.

I started analyzing the keywords of this competitor so that I could find some good keywords according to the need of the client.
I got a very good keyword from there with difficulty 22 and volume 1900. Analysis of this keyword in Google revealed that in addition to that competitor website, there was a Facebook post, a Twitter thread, a YouTube video and a few other blog posts which were not of very good
quality.
It was like finding the key to a treasure and all these competitors could be de-ranked by writing a high quality blog post.

I thoroughly researched and wrote an excellent blog post of over 1000 words. I optimized this blog post with the help of yoast and kept keyword
density below 2%.

I gave the article to my client and he posted it on his blog. Not much work was done on creating backlinks, only 1 backlink was created while 1 backlink was given by someone naturally. One of the reasons for not working on backlinks was that competitors'
on-page and off-page SEO was not so good.

And you know what happened after that? Keyword is now the number one in Google and is getting the most traffic. Now, if any other competitor ever manages to de-rank that keyword, the first position can be easily restored with the help
quality backlinks and a few modifications.
