Keywords and Getting Started with them to the top of the Search Engines
-
We are an online Saas Based startup. Strongly 70% of our daily users come directly to us since they know us by the url .
Now there these 30% who scout for software's like ours online. Get to us by some hook or crook and then maybe end up giving the trial a shot.
Our Main site is only of say 5-6 pages. These pages have basic info about our product , pricing and contact etc.
What I wish to understand is that when one says" getting those keywords to the top of the engines rankings" who do you mean by these - I presume one means that get the keywords you want to compete for and then push in "Adwords" or better content pages?
So If I want to rank well - then my websites should have good content pages you mean? Is that correct-? That means now I have to write good content on those keywords or around those keywords- without that there is no hope to come on good on engines right? Correct me here if I sway away from the actual meaning.
Next I wish to have campaigns setup in google adwords keeping in mind those competitive keywords - here again does content on my website play a role? If I have no content and then have google adwords setup does that help? Please advice
How long before I add good content pages and expect them to show up in my analytics etc?
Thanks

Great thanks for the advice. So now I suppose good quality content increase the quality score which in turns helps in lower CPC
For the crawl diagnostics I see a couple of error , warnings and notices - how Important are these to correct so that I have a good stand on the SEO for my website?
Some of them are :** Long url characters,Duplicate page title,Temporary redirect,Permanent redirect, Rel canonical.**
I also ran the keyword difficulty analysis for some of my keywords am planning to improve content on.
The test show difficulty levels from 1% - 61% for multiple of these keywords. How do I measure low,medium and high difficulty?
Search volumes for a lot of these say " Not enough data" - should I interpret this as those keywords for which I should not work on the getting the content better? Or these keywords are not that popularly searched?
Could you kindly throw some light upon the above questions . Thanks

When people say get to the top of Google, they mean SEO. SEOMOZ is all about that. On here we really don't talk much about Adwords. I love Adwords and I am great at it, but I don't think many people here are as interested in hearing about Adwords.
Yes have good content for SEO. In fact, write some SUPER KICKASS content. Use the keywords in your content, BUT don't overdo it.
"Next I wish to have campaigns setup in google adwords keeping in mind those competitive keywords - here again does content on my website play a role? If I have no content and then have google adwords setup does that help? Please advice"
Answer YES! Your quality Score if affected. Low quality score = Higher CPC. Higher Quality Score = Less CPC.
"How long before I add good content pages and expect them to show up in my analytics etc?"
I don't understand that sentence. If you mean how long your content will take to show up in the SERPS, normally on the next crawl. "IF" someone visits your new content page, then it'll take about 2 hours to report in GA.

What a Brand should do first for Their Blog Keyword Research or Topic Research?
Hello Moz Community, Need your help guys. What a Brand should do first for their Blog? Keyword Research or Topic Research? Like for the Brand Product page/ eCom Pages, it's quite easy > 1. Buy "Product" Online
Competitive Research | | Max_
2. Buy "Product" "Geo."
3. Product Reviews [for Guest Posting or Reviews]
4. Best "Product" Online and so But, for the blog, it's tough for searching out the keywords that will work if the SEO team or the keyword research team is not aware or don't have the detailed knowledge about the niche they are working on. Please verify: Is it a correct method that an editor should provide a "topic" to the SEO team to find relevant keywords by using a Keyword Research tool that there are enough searches for it which can provide benefits to the blog via the search engine.0 -
Keywords local and national
Hello everyone. I asked a similar question but still find myself a bit confused. I am a magician who is trying to improve my web presence. I found a list of keywords which I will list below. The results read from left to right the search results in the United States, and in Ohio ( where I am from). I found these results using google planner. Magician 14800 390 Magicians 5400 170 Corporate Magician 170 10 Comedy Magician 140 10 Here is my question. Lets use the word Magician as an example. I see that there are 390 results in Ohio for the search term Magician. Would I want to key the phrase "magician" or "Ohio Magician". How does google work with this? If I key just the word "magician" and someone in Ohio google searches for Ohio Magicians or something similar, will it detect their location and put me on there radar? When I key in " Ohio Magician" in the planner the results that come back are 0 or less than 10. I'm curious if google works on location and if I'm wasting my time keying in all of these cities that are showing no results. I began targeting "Cleveland Magician" "Columbus Magician" etc. Should I just stick with the main term Magician?

Local search
hi, Local search case i try to evaluate local competition on a local query such as "hairdresser + the city name" in Google for a merchant without website neither a google adresse listing. Top results : 7 google adresses pack : ok Organic results : SERP display only directories ! The first 10 pages are reviews platforms & local directories (qype, yelp, yellowpages etc..) except only 1 or 2 urls with personalized domains name. 1/ Would it be easy with to make a website + with a brand new domain name (myhaidresseShop.com) to dominate these serp (organics) quickly (first 2 months) ? 2/ Would it be better to first launch a targeted submission campaign (popularity) on those local directories with personalized data (first month) , and later on, to build a website ? 3/ Or ideally, from start, to make both a local campaign (Google adresse + submission) and launch a new website ? Tks in advance...

What keywords would you suggest for interesting concept?
Not sure if it's OK to ask just about anything as long as it is relevant, but I would love to hear thoughts about good keywords to promote an app that will make it easy to migrate/move phone data and files - contacts, photos, music, calendars - from one phone - like a BB, iPhone or WinMo - to an Android phone or device? I'm having the darnest time coming up with phrases that people who are searching for such an app would use? Thanks
