90 seconds to find a treasure trove of low competition, question-style keywords.

You're probably not using this tactic, and its really really simple to implement.

Here we go...

#seo #keywordresearch

1. Open Ahrefs
2. Put "quora.com" into Site Explorer
3. Go to Organic Keywords
4. Search for a seed keyword that you want to research

For this example, I chose "mango"

Now, scan through and look for questions that look relevant.

I found a bunch on the first page:
- how to tell if mange is bad
- is mango acidic
- are dried mango good for you
- is mango a citrus fruit
- does mango make you poop
etc

Lets look at "is mango acidic"

Quora ranks #8

There is a DR 16 URL ranking #7

There is a DR 3 URL ranking #1

You get the picture....

Rinse and repeat. Not all you find will work out this way, but a lot will.

Quora URLs are typically a good sign of ranking potential.

A well written article on the specific topic should outrank a Quora article, provided Google sees your site as topically relevant.

Bonus tips on this strategy I've heard from others:

- add a filter to only show Quora results in Top 3 or Top 5 (via

- use @ahrefs Content Gap report instead if you already rank for a bunch of keywords in this topical silo (via @ianhelms)
