Then Google will suggest the Facebook login page for the first query, a blog with history of Facebook for the second query, Wikipedia or the like.

If you search for such a query to buy something, if you don’t have an online store that has those items, it will show you local stores like ABC Store Near Me.

So before writing an article for a keyword, if you do a Google search, you can see what kind of pages are ranked for that query.
