If they are not so many [not in millions], not so sophisticated, and not so high in page ranking [not above 5], then it means competition is not stiff and you can settle for the keyword. Otherwise you have to dig further.

Take the keyword back into Google keyword tool and see the new related keywords to it that come up. From these, you can choose any as ling as it shows a good number of searches made on it. to confirm how competitive it is, again go to Google search engines and see the number of websites that come up, the sophistication and page ranking of the first five to ten sites.
