Micro niche in fitness- do you need qualifications and do you absolutely have to do youtube?

Hi, I would like to start a blog in a microniche of the fitness industry because I have passion for it and I have a decent amount of knowledge on the topic. I am not an expert at all but I am a fan of massaging, massage guns, massage balls, foam rollers so I have been thinking of something like: massage tools for home use for non-athletes (for people who sit all day and get stiff) /massage tools for calisthenics /massage tools for mma. So I would write product reviews on for example foam rollers and massage guns but also content like what causes certain kinds of stiffness, what are trigger points to aim for with massage guns etc.

But I am a bit stuck so my questions would be:

  1. Do you think this niche is not too broad or should I niche down even more?
  2. Do you think that I will be able to progress from this niche or is fitness so competitive that I will be stuck in my small niche because of big players?
  3. Would I really need to have qualifications like a massage therapist or personal trainer (I've heard that a lot) just to write a blog/do youtube on this?
  4. Will I absolutely have to start a youtube channel to progress? I did a bit of research and about 30-50% of SERPs for massage gun keywords are just 4 youtube videos on the top of the SERP. So is it unlikely that my blog would beat these (not so viewed) youtube videos even if I have better content? Do youtube videos almost always beat blogs in the fitness industry?

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
