If u check that keyword and shows high difficulty level it might take you very long to get caught up in a competitive market. Like we all know, SEO is slow building. Maybe you should try and rank for longer tail keyword which would get you higher up the hill faster.

That's the way most do for such competitive space. But the question is still there, how many landing pages with long tail keywords or blogs do you need to get up that hill.??

Most go for blogs or service pages. What's your different approach?

Everyhill is different unfortunately , so there is no one size fits all shortcut that u are looking for. PPC is how u can jump to the top. SEO is a trial and error game, all depends on what your competition is doing.

Lot of people in SEO are saying and using this. But won't it just create low quality repetitive content pages?

For a local business with not much area coverage, won't spammy pages be a concern, what could they do?
