Hey buddy! Found you on tiktok and love your content! I was following along to learn more about SEO and I realized that in order to have more specific information about average monthly searches you have to be in expert mode. Even then, it lists HUGE ranges. Is this more related to the specificity of my keyword search? Or is this an additional feature behind a pay wall? Thank you for all your work!

A couple of questions: 1. Any particular reason for writing in Google Docs? 2. How do you actually get the page onto Google? I've been using the keywords. I even got the green lights on Yoast. But it doesn't show on Google at all. The keywords were unusual for my country and I searched within my country because that's the audience I'm trying to target. There were a total of 7 pages on Google and I wasn't on any of them.

1. I use Google Docs because it's free, anyone can use it, and it allows you to have live documents that multiple people can edit at once 2. There is nothing you can do besides optimize the content to get Google to pick it up. If it's a rare keyword and there is little search traffic, it might take the crawler a long time to pick it up.
Thanks for sharing! helpful video. One suggestion: You may keep your face a bit far from the camera it will make your front face video shot good. Thank You
If I choose sleep health as a niche would it be unwise to pick a business name which directly reflects this? Ie something with sleep in it? :-/
