Tool Request - What keywords does a site rank for?
-
Hi folks,
Something I've never had to do before so I'm not sure which tool to use, but is there a way to determine the keywords that a website currently ranks for?
Hope someone can assist
-
Ah, you know what the problem with SEMRush is, they don't cater for Traffic in South Africa, which is where I am based
-
SEMRush is a fantastic piece of software and I completely forgot about it. I was really hoping SEOmoz would have a tool, but it seems not. Thank you Streamline Metrics
-
I think we will all be taking a look at that one - thank you!
-
SEMRush.com is exactly the tool you are looking for. One of my favorites.
-
There could be, I am not sure. The company I work for did some sort of a trial so I could play with it for a few months and give my COO feed back before they entered in to a contract but I don't know if the trial was free or just at a lowered rate. We use it in an agency setting so we have many slots we can move clients in and out of - if you are just getting it for one website it is probably much more affordable.
-
Thanks Billy, i'll be taking a look at that then. Is there a free/trial version?
-
BrightEdge really does do it, as well as many other things (I sound like a BrightEdge commercial, LOL). It is expensive though and of course, who can say if it finds them all....
-
Sorry, I am the one that misunderstood your question, read it too fast.
I don't believe there is one single tool that can be used to 'discover' all the keywords any single site ranks for. There are a number of tools you can use collectively that may give a bigger picture.
I dug out an old moz post that might be of interest - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/what-keywords-do-i-rank-for.
Other than that I've not been able to locate a programme in the past that will do what you need on its own.

I understand totally. If you do decide you want a quick report run just let me know. I would just have BrightEdge add the domain and wait for their next crawl (they crawl every weekend) and I can email the report to you the following Monday. No problem at all Happy to help.
-
Cheers Billy! I'll keep looking and see what others can say, and then give you a shout.
Worst comes to worst, I could use something like WebCEO to find the keywords on my site and then SEOmoz' Rank Checker to see the positions, just felt it would be incredibly useful to have an "all in one" solution because sometimes we miss really important keywords, that turn out to be ranking really well. I know Google Analytics can pick that up sometimes, but that's more about intuition than an actual tool.

Michael, in my question I ask for a tool that will find the keywords that my site ranks for. In other words, the tool "reads" the website, determines the keywords, and then crawls the Internet checking their positions. SEOmoz' Rank Checker can do what you're suggesting.. Unless I've misunderstood..
-
I can totally dig that! If there is a tool here that can do it, it is one that I have not utilized. If it comes down to it you can message the URL to me and I can have it put in to BrightEdge (we have some open slots) and see what it can find for you. Let me know if I can help (billy.j@vizergy.com)

You can install rank tracker from here for free: http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/
Pretty simple to use, once installed add your sites domain name and then a few keywords you with to see your site ranking for.

Nothing in the SEOmoz umbrella? Trying not to sign up for yet another SEO application
-
BrightEdge can do that.

Exact Keyword is Used in Page Title & Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once
Hi Folks, I have a page https://purplegriffon.com/courses/itil-training/itil-foundation-training/itil-foundation that grades with the 'On-Page Grader' as a B grade for the keyword 'itil foundation' but reports that there is no 'Exact Keyword is Used in Page Title' and 'Exact Keyword Used in Document Text at Least Once'. The thing is, it actually is but because of IP (intellectual property) rights we have to include a '®' (®) symbol when we mention the course title 'ITIL® Foundation'. Now I believe Google is smart enough to recognise that this symbol should not be included but it seems that for the specific criteria mentioned above, the MOZ bot isn't smart enough to recognise this, even though it recognises the keyword usage elsewhere. So my question is this. Would this constitute an issue in terms of ranking? Another question I have, is how significant are the gains with shorter URL's? For example, the URL to the page in question is: https://purplegriffon.com/courses/itil-training/itil-foundation-training/itil-foundation Would a URL such as below have a significant effect on SEO?: https://purplegriffon.com/courses/itil-foundation Thanks for your feedback.

How can I create a keyword ranking report with a custom date range?
I need to see change since campaign inception, and would like the flexibility of other date ranges. (in a list form, not per keyword) Does Moz have a way to do this yet? This is the one feature I really need that Moz hasn't historically had. Can the API be modified for this? Would appreciate some feedback guys!

SEOmoz not showing Google rankings accurately in Ranking Reports. How do we fix this?
We have a running campaign for a client who has rankings show for Yahoo and Bing within the SEOmoz Ranking Reports, however, Google shows no data or rankings. When we manually check from different IP's and computers and browsers, we see our client ranking very well in Google and for keywords which we have inside their campaign for SEOmoz. Can anyone provide insight into this? Have you experienced this also? Our reports would look terrible going to the client if sent from SEOmoz directly as Google shows 0 (Not in Top 50) for all keywords, so we have to get rankings from other sources or manually to show our client. Thank you in advance for your help and tips everyone!

What SEO Tools Do You Use?
Things changed a bit for me when Raven Stopped using google and SemRush data and I haven't exactly found a solution I'm happy with so Just wanted to use what people use alongside SEOMoz, or what they use instead of certain parts of SEOMoz. Before I was using Raven Tools, Screaming Frog SEO Crawler but currently I'm using Screaming Frog SEO Crawler, SEOMoz (trial), and SerpIQ (trial).

Getting relevant keywords from URL with Google KW Tool.
Hi, When I first start researching a site, I like to see what Google "thinks" it is relevant to. I use the Google KW Tool and enter the website URL only. I sort the results by relevance. I can then show the prospective client what Google thinks his site is optimized for and use that info to show him what opportunities exist to rank for terms more relevant to his business. I show him keyword, volume and I also get current SERP rank for his site. For larger sites, I do this for the top pages based Domain Authority. I want to automate this process using excel and APIs but Google refused my API token request. I told them I wanted to use the "Google AdWords API Extension for Excel" from http://seogadget.co.uk/google-adwords-plugin-excel. The Google API token team replied: Please note, after reviewing your application in detail, we are sorry to let you know that we won't be able to approve your token. We understand that you are planning to use the AdWords API mainly for Targeting Idea Service (TIS) and Traffic Estimation Service (TES) such as 'keyword research'. Please note that as per the Required Minimum Functionality (RMF) outlined in the API Terms & Conditions, using the AdWords API exclusively for TIS and TES type of services is not allowed. Q1: What does the KW Tool relevancy data mean, anyway? Q2: is there another way to get it or is there another way to do this? Q3: Is there a better approach I should take with the Google API team? Q4: Are there other APIs and Excel plugins that can do this, including the SEOMoz APIs? Thanks,
