Short-tail Keywords:
These are 1 or 2 words. Due to their brevity, competition is high and the conversion rate is low. Examples include "SEO courses" and "digital marketing."

Long-tail Keywords:
These are the opposite, consisting of more than 2 words, often forming a sentence. Examples include "SEO course for beginners" and "How to learn website development online."
