I too often come across this dilemma when talking to clients that are looking to have us create their websites. They always wanna target the most competitive/useless keywords like "lawyers" rather then optimizing for CONVERSION ready keywords like you mentioned. Sure it's cool to tell your friends that you rank well for the keyword "lawyers" but it really won't do you that much good. Find keywords that are targeted! Great information!

I completely agree with you. “Aiming to rank for questions that have no impact on your business is just a vanity competition.

It is working for me anyways.
