When Adding content to the site. Should I use the same keyword term on each page or select a secondary keyword to focus on?
-
I have created a site www.autoinsurancefremontca.com. The index page is SEO for the key term auto insurance fremont ca. I want to add more content on another page of this site. Should I have that page also SEO'd for the same keyword or should I pick another keyword to focus on?

This site has higher rank just due to the domain name compared to my original site. Also, I am using this site as a test to see what works to increase my google ranking.

Adding commentary about Niles District and stuff does make it sound more local, and less like it's a virtual office. In general the site still looks a bit spammy and keyword-stuffed.
What more content are you going to add? Is there a reason why you don't want to add the content to your main site, but instead build up this site?

Keri,
I have made a few more changes to my landing page. Can you please review it again and give me some more feed back.
Thank you

You use the exact match keyword phrase "auto insurance Fremont CA" 13 times on your home page and then in your page title. Your content is not really meant for humans.
This doesn't even make sense: "If you are driving the car during commuting hours auto insurance Fremont CA carrier base on the law of large numbers have found you are more susceptible to having a claim."
Keri is right, focus on your customer and not search engines and you will see better results.
I wish you luck, but you need to work on your content before adding more pages to your site.
To answer your question though, I wouldn't continue to use the same keyword term on each page. Each page of a site should have its own focus. Why have two pages for the same keyword phrase? You can provide better results for users by producing one best page.

I am a little lost on what you mean by " home page that makes this look any more related to Fremont CA than Fremont WA" I have the address to our location at the bottom of the page. What would you suggest I change on the home page?
Also, I will be adding the google maps Api to my home page to allow people to get driving direction.

I just moved from Newark, CA (right next door to Fremont) to the Seattle area. This isn't an answer to a question you were asking, but I honestly don't see anything in the home page that makes this look any more related to Fremont CA than Fremont WA. I'd look and more closely examine your first piece of content before adding anything more.
Focus on your customer, and on convincing them that you are a legitimate business and not someone using search and replace and inserting a different city name into each site.

On-site optimization: Do we need local terms inside subpages?
We're optimizing a franchise's website for local SEO, where each franchise location has its own page on the main corporate site. We've identified a lot of keywords which are relevant for each location. But I'm wondering if we need to include the location as part of the keyword we're optimizing for. For example, picture "best yoga studio" as a keyword that is relevant, and the franchise has locations in San Francisco and San Mateo. Do we need to optimize for "best yoga studio san francisco" on the San Francisco subpage and "best yoga studio san mateo" on the San Mateo subpage? Or do we optimize for "best yoga studio" and is Google smart enough to return the San Francisco page for San Francisco searchers and San Mateo for San Mateo searchers, without our additional on-page optimization? I should mention that the franchise sub-page is being submitted via Moz Local and will have all the Google business listing, consistent citations, etc. Thanks in advance, --eric

Target keywords on homepage or sub page?
Is it better to target main keywords on a site's homepage, or in a sub page. I would usually assume the homepage, but if the domain for the homepage doesn't include the keyword is it better to have a sub page with an exact match URL? For example we target the keyword "abc123" Is it better to optimise the homepage: brandname.com Or create a page to target it: brandname.com/abc123/ And leave the homepage to target brand keywords, but link to the "abc123" page. Whats the best option?

Site Stucture Advice - Keyword Dillema
I am creating a new site and am looking for some advice on how to structure the site Using Google's keyword search tool it seems like I have a dilemma in that about 50% of the keyword pairs are contained in 10 keyword pairs that are similar The first two pairs have about 49% of the traffic and only differ between plural / singular, not quite sure how to handle that, or if google has a method to make these more or less synonomous The last 8 pairs are roughly similar in distribtuion As an example (not my case, just for visualization) Mountain Bike Classes Mountain Bike Instruction Mountain Bike Workshops Mountain Bike Training Etc ... which all more or less give the same results (yes some difference but they all deal with learning how to ride a mountain bike, again this is not my exact case, don't care a whit about mountain bikes 😉 I don't see giving each of those kinds of pairs their own page since the content would be pretty much the exact same, making it substantially different would also be problematic (if I am thinking about this correctly) I have a clean slate to work with from a site perspective so I am wondering how people here would, or better yet have handled similar situations

Duplicate Content using templates
Hi, Our web site is designed using a template, which means the header and footer is consistent across all pages. Only the body content is unique on each page. Is the google bot able to see that the header and footer content is defined by the common template? Will this have any impact in terms of duplicate content? For example, we have a two line text in the footer that summarize the services we provide. Because the same text is in the footer of all pages, i am concerned about creating duplicate content. Finally, does it make sense to include keywords in header and footer of the template? Will it have any positive or negative SEO impact?
