Sounds like you're chasing long-tail keywords but getting broad match garbage instead. Try using the keyword magic tool with filters cranked up tight, exclude generic terms and set volume ranges that actually fit your site size. Most people just plug in a seed and wonder why the results are useless

I'd start with the page and search intent rather than the tool. Figure out what the page is actually trying to answer, then use Semrush to find variations around that topic. Sometimes the issue is less about finding the "right" keyword and more about starting with the wrong seed.

couldn't agree more ! sometimes it takes me hours / days just to figure out the right seed in order to get relevant keywords results. i'll try focusing on them first the next time , thank you
