You can over optimise which can be detrimental.
You also need to know what your competitors are doing to get rankings above you.
If you are able to analyse your competitors and their competitors in the niche then you will find common weaknesses that you can exploit.
More often that not it's your competitors strengths that make it hard to rank, things like domain authority, page authority, domain age, backlinks, keyword competitiveness and so on.
There are keywords that you will just have no hope ranking for because tubes have such authority, so you need to target a whole bunch of long tail keywords related to your niche and rank for those.
You will also find as you gain rankings for longer tail keywords that you'll have more chance of ranking for more valuable and competitive keywords.
Are you ranking for anything at the moment ? How are you checking that ?
