Has anyone pondered over the possibility that Google SEO nowadays is a losing game, especially when you're selling physical products?
When you search for something, Google loves showing all the big brands (Amazon etc.) at the very top of the results. People see that as the first thing, and immediately click on those.

It doesn't matter if your site is ranked #1 or #6 in the search results, because before people can scroll down, they see more distractions:

When you scroll further now, you see 6 actual results. Yes. 6. After that it's a whole list of recommended search terms and other filler/tools/maps etc. Search results now make up only a tiny % of the 1st page.
You can try long tail keywords, it makes no difference.
