This is a very crucial step.

Keyword research helps to understand the value of a keyword, keywords competition, and the demand(search volume) on the web.

Hows that possible? The answer is, It’s an old site.
Edu and Gov Sites
Obviously, google does trust on .edu and .gov sites. So if these sites have any well optimized and informative guide then it will rank.

You can link out to any .edu or .gov site for related resource or article. This way the trust level of your content will increase and the chances of ranking too.
Authority
The authority of site or blog matters a lot in google ranking. Some authority sites like Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, Forbes are rank on page one for a new article.
Hows that possible?
It is possible because they have an authority. Google trust on the authority site. So, you should always try to build an authority for your blog.

Conclusion

You can rank on Google with using any of above factors.
There are so many sites which are ranking with the help of only one factor of above.
So, think- If you do the all things for your single article, you’ll rank for sure. No one can beat you. You’ll definitely get higher ranking for the particular keyword.
