      I'm using wordpress for my blog and yoast plugin for seo. recently i read a tutorial about "long-tail keyword" usage. but i get confused when i want to use them in my blog posts. take this long-tail keyword:

      • best gaming mouse and keyboard for ps4

      Imaging i want to use this as my primary keyword(focus keyword) in my blog post. how should i use it in post title and other parts of my article?

      -should i use it in the exact same order in my title or post?
      -how to use it in yoast keyphrase input? should i use exact match of the focus keyphrase in the input?

      as you know Google is capable of recognizing the separate words from longer search terms, even if the words are not in the exact same order as the query.

      I searched many days but unfortunately i couldn't find anything about how to use keyword or long-tail keyword inside the article step by step.

        Think about it less about using the exact phrase and more about writing content for that topic. You need to research who is ranking for this term and ask yourself: is the content there answering the question the user has and can I do better?

        If you can do better, research and write an article about the best gaming mouse and keyboard for the PS4. It isn't about the exact word order, more the needs of the person search for that.
