Ask What is the fastest way to get your first real result in SEO?

[Newman]

The fastest path to a first real result in SEO is to find questions that people are searching for but that few websites have answered well. These are called low-competition keywords. When you write a clear, helpful article around one of those questions, Google has fewer options to choose from, and your page has a better shot at ranking. This is much faster than trying to compete with big websites on popular topics right away. So in your opinion, should beginners always start with low-competition keywords before going after bigger ones?
