How do you guys rank a site that is in the low volume keyword niche? The related keywords also have a very low volume close to 200-300 average. Any suggestions?

Best answer
The question with those is how to monetize such low volume. It can take ranking a lot of short and long tail, and every permutation of the money word that can be imagined.

What matters is difficulty not volume for ranking.

As long as the underlying intent behind the keyword is ideal, it’s just like any other website you’re trying to rank.

The thing is the main focus keyword is "salesforce consultant" and the top 10 results is dominated by the high 80+ DR pages. I look for its relative keywords or something more broader but they just dont have enough traffic to put effort in. Would you guys say that giving the new website proper on page seo, backlinks and some blogs in that niche would be enough to get the site in a nice area? Or maybe just then go fo PPC after these changes?
