buildsworth seo seem to think it does.
As an aside @Nityen Prakash says he is in San Jose in his profile but linkedin says he is in Patna, India. Their website address is a print and copy shop.

It's such a generic and broad question that it's impossible to answer it, bearing in mind how many other factors are there influencing "fast SEO ranking"....
Broadly speaking, of course you should be targeting as many keywords possible, providing they are all relevant to your business/website.
The days when you bought an EMD and sent all the backlinks with the exact same anchor text to the home page are long gone, so the more you can vary your SEO efforts, in terms of backlink diversity and keywords density, the better.

Yes there is. Speed of ranking is proportional to the keywords
Choose low competition keywords and you can get ranking in hours. Do this for lots of keywords and work up to the more difficult ones.

The above post is pretty much it, low competition keywords can rank very well in a very short space of time. If your site has lots of low competition keyworded pages and products then you will find it easy. Product pages and category pages in weak competition areas only need a half decent title and meta description to pull in more traffic.

Yes you do. Suppose each keyword brings in one visitor per day. They will be more highly targeted and therefore more likely to convert. This means you can sell more using low competition keywords then you can ranking for more generic keywords. This has nothing to do with SEO and everything to do with marketing.
As an example. Targeting 'small blue plastic widgets' is going to attract people looking for that exact product. If you have the right landing page you will convert. But targeting 'plastic widgets' will attract far more tyre kickers than customers.

@JezDonnel "there is not a fast ranking ! forget about that" <<< that's the comment you made above and I posted to point out that it is perfectly possible to get quick rankings.
Surely a bunch of low competition keywords bringing in traffic and pretty much from the start is better than waiting months with no traffic or sales for a high competition keyword to kick in??

You do have a point, but I think people have different understanding of "quick", as for some it means 1-2 weeks, but for others it could be 2-3 months.
When doing SEO even for low competition keywords, it can still take 2-3 months to achieve and stabilise rankings, especially for a newish website, so depending on the expectations of the client, that period can often be considered as "long".

2-3 days to a rank a website? Not sure what you can rank for in that period...Unless we are talking about keywords that get searched twice a year.
And then it goes into sandbox a week later anyway.

I've been out from the SEO game for a while, but from my experience ranking that fast was only possible for dead local keywords or something very long-tail and non-competitive.
If works for you and your clients, then you must be doing something right.

First, excuse me for my English, I busy now.
"Fast ranking", "Slow ranking"...
Search engines doesn't rank words. Just for reports, to help you understand how searchers found your content.
https://prnt.sc/u2t5o3 There I can see that people from many countries use this keyword. It is the really useful info. I don't need a speed of ranking.
This page was published on December, 12 https://prnt.sc/u2tbed As you can see, first impression was on December, 13. First click was on December, 17.
What doesn it mean? Did I write a really good article for agency's audience? Or, did I write a bad article? Does it mean slow ranking? Can I make a conclusion that there are wrong (slow, long-tail, LSI) keywords? I think, it doesn't matter. But it shows that search engines don't work the way that topic starter think.
Google search engine based on many systems which includes a lot of algorithms to predict searcher's intent, it depends on time of day, location, search history and 200+ factors of your page. Google uses keywords on first stage of content indexing to choose the right place in the repository. From time to time (crawling to crawling) Google will update index, gather search signals, compare with search signals of domain and improve semantic model for this page (yes, Google uses a "personal" model of weights of search factors for each page in the Web). So, Google needs keywords to understand what this page about. Also, keywords help your visitors to understand what is your page about. But now search engines work in more smart way than couple of years ago.
This article explaines some things https://searchengineland.com/seos-must-focus-on-intent-research-practices-in-2020-327128but you should provide keyword research because search engines just are machines.
I experimented. I wrote content without keywords. It worked and pages were ranked. Average positions of page changed from 170 to 11 in 90 days (without linkbuilding, social media sharing, test site was created on new domain). Pages were indexed in 1-2 days by Google and 1-3 days by Bing. But I saw significant fluctuations in positions, impressions and traffic. So, I don't recommend focus on the intent or context for business websites (because there is a competition). You should use keywords.

How many people actually search for those keywords?
In any case, a focus keyword is the wrong way to do things. What you should be doing is providing the answer to a search query.

The real question is how many people from our target audience actually search for those keywords.
Yes, I quite agree with you. Let's me to add, "providing the answer to a search query"+search intent of our segment (a target audience is too broad a definition).
Thank you @fisicx You gave me an idea.

Each marketing activity, including SEO, takes time. Or as we say "only cats were born fast" or "Rome wasn't built in one day".
I think luck matters in our life. It help us to have incredibly quick results. That not guarantee long-run success.

SEO community like to say that SEO is a long-term activity. It means that you can do nothing 6-12 months but every month you make $200-500-2500.
But business needs results now. Well, it is enough to do SEO in many cases
SEO audit, keywords research, build visibility, add few backlinks. It takes efforts but it works.

Honestly speaking, there is no point in counting how many keywords you can or want to rank. It depends on so many factors. Your website DA, PA value, content quality, engagements from audiences, backlinks from relevant high DA, PA websites, keywords search volume, difficulties, website speed metric, etc.
I just scratched the surface. There is an entire ocean of factors down there, did you get my point?
Now the funny thing is, even if you count several keywords to rank still you actually can't control it. Why?
Let's say targeted a keyword phrase "How to rank in Google" it's a long-tail key phrase therefore should be easy to rank. Now the question is, how you planned to incorporate this key phrase in your article.
In a 2,000 word article, you have to incorporate this key phrase at least 20 times (1% density). Now think carefully, if you force this key phrase it won't suite properly in the article. Readability will reduce & Google is not a 5-year kid, it surely will catch the little trick of yours.
So, what should you do then?
Simple, do not try to count anything. Just keep writing relevant, high-quality content & keep sharing among your audience. Do some basic SEO to optimize your site & content. There you go. Success will come eventually.

getting backlinks from high DA carries more weight in the ranking. If your website has a low DA value then it will be hard to rank. And yes keyword density is not a valuable factor as it was before but still, if you do keyword stuffing, it will harm your site.

Yes, I know DA & PA came from MOZ. Google never actually said anything about anything except quality content & relevancy.
Okay according to that, let's say, If I get a backlink from X website which DA is 75 & page that my backlink coming from it's PA is 60. And you get a backlink from Y website which DA is 15 & page that your backlink coming from it's PA is 10.
And for the sake of this example, let's say both are relevant to our website & content. And referral link & citation is relevant as well.
In that case, both of our backlinks carry the same weight?

One question. What about Do-follow & No-follow? As we all know Do follow pass link juice while No follow do not. But, again only Do follow will harm our website ranking. Thus both do-follow & no-follow needed to build a natural backlinks profile.

You are over thinking it.
Are the source and target pages related? Is there reason for the link to exist? Does the link add value?
For example:
You have a page about woolly socks and you link to a site that has knitting patterns for woolly socks. The pages are related and the link is useful. Google will give you a gold star.
But...
You write about woolly socks on some free for all guest blog site and link back to your site selling woolly socks and Google will just laugh at you.

Yes, definitely working on 10+ keywords can help you to rank your website. Implementing keyword SEO will improve your site rank above your competitors. But it also depends on the quality of the keywords you are using like Keyword Frequency, Weight, Prominence, and Proximity.
