Keywords for fabrication (welding) company??
-
I've been tasked with finding the keywords for our website. The difficulty I'm finding is receiving help from the fabrication personal to suggest keywords. I'm not sure if its peoples imagination or if there's a general unwillingness.
Can anyone make any suggestions here? Is there a fabrication or welding keyword database I can put to them and hopefully get their brains working?
Or even a way to see what keywords our competitors use?

Thanks For the Reply Google Keyword is the best.

Hi Martin, Thanks for the further explanation of your business model. You are right - Local SEO is not the right match for you, so the tool isn't helpful.
-
Thanks for the reply
I'm not sure Google places would help our business and correct me if I'm wrong. We're not a company that people visit for sales. We're onsite fabrication and we also manufacture products to sell all over the UK and occasionally abroad. How would it help us?

By entering the URL of a website in the Website box in Google keywords tool, you are instructing Google to go and get the keywords hints from the URL to come up with the list of related keywords and phrases. So as Wikipedia pages cover any topic comprehensively, there is a good chance that the keyword list prepared this way will give you a solid head start for your current job at hand.
Best regards,

Thanks. How does the website URL work? and whats the benefit in choosing it?

Hi Martin,
You've received some very good replies here from members. I'll just add that if you are branching into competitive analysis of local competitors, you might like to check out 51 Blocks' competitive analysis tool, which is free:http://www.51blocks.com/online-marketing-tools/free-local-analysis/

Go to a list broker company like www.infousa.com, they have a nice classification of industries as a part of the list selection process and you can find sub categories related to your industry type. That's another way of finding closely related keywords.
Here is the Link.

Hi Martin, you can do one thing. Just go to Google AdWords keywords tool and make sure you are logged in to your Google account.
Once inside the tool, set the settings to All Locations and All Languages, type the following in the Website box: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welding
Hit Search. Export all the keywords and repeat the process for the following URL typed in the Website box:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fabrication
Try to look for other related topic on Wikipedia and repeat the process till you have good list.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Devanur Rafi.

Unfortunately Amazon is a product company and we are in a service industry so couldnt get any names from them. I see your point about being creative, I've through about searching job boards for descriptions such as http://www.totaljobs.com/JobSeeking/Fabrication.html
Can you think of anything else that may help?
-
Thanks the Google Keywords is useful. I've also visited SEMRush typed in a list of our competitors and not very information out of it. It might be because our competitors are not very active on-line.
The SEMoz keyword analyser isn't working at the moment so we cant check that out.
Our other big problem is that we work in a lot of different industries such as energy, power stations, Nuclear, transportation ect. How can we get a list of industries for metal fabrications?
-
Thanks. I'll get a list together with the suggestions the other guys have said and Go to them and ask.

Hi Martin, you can take the steps outlined by SEO5 and also you can visit Amazon.com, search for the keywords, 'welding' and 'fabrication', take a note of the items that come up in the search, visit the product page of each of these products and also note the itemsthat Amazon mentions under the heading, 'people who bought also bought'. Put all these terms in Google AdWords keywords tool and bingo, you will have a very good list of related terms. Put your brain in to this a bit deep and add your creativity to further enhance the list. Sometimes, the shopping sites and specialized online portals for a particular product or niche can give you more than you can ever imagine while doing keyword research analysis and I do it all the time and the results will be outstanding as per my experience. Good luck.
Regards,
Devanur.

Ask to speak with the receptionist or the person who takes most of the incoming calls for the business. This person hears the language used by people who ask for their services. These people often know more about the keywords to target than management.

You can use Google's keyword suggestion tool , type in fabrication and welding in the keyword list and the website , check the box that says "only show ideas closely related to my search terms" . You should be able to pull a good keyword list using this tool.
In addition to this tool you can also use SEM Rush , type in the client's website and see what keywords they are ranking for that are related to your site. You can also use the keyword analysis tool from SEOMOZ.

Inconsistent Keyword Search Volume & Difficulty Across Tools (e.g., Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, Semrush)
Hi there, Moz Community! I'm reaching out for some guidance on keyword research discrepancies. I'm currently targeting the keyword "sui gas bill" for my blog, sngplbill, which focuses on information related to Sui gas bills. I've used several keyword research tools, including Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Semrush, and each platform provides different search volume and keyword difficulty scores: Moz: No search volume data, Keyword Difficulty (KD) 24
Keyword Research | | Faizali.786
Google Keyword Planner: Search volume 100k-1M, Difficulty (Low)
Semrush: Search volume 90k, KD 31
Ahrefs: KD 1 (Very Easy)
These varying results are causing some confusion. Ideally, I'd like to understand which platform offers the most reliable data for search volume and keyword difficulty. Here are some additional details that might be helpful: My target location: Pakistan My Questions: What factors might contribute to these discrepancies in keyword data across different tools?
Considering my niche (Sui gas bill information in Pakistan), which platform would you recommend for the most accurate search volume and keyword difficulty estimates?
Are there any additional factors to consider beyond search volume and keyword difficulty when selecting keywords for content strategy?
Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

How do I do keyword research when search volume is unknown
Hi Mozzers! I do a lot of work in niche areas, and one issue I often confront in keyword research is unknown search volume. That is, I'll be doing keyword research in Keyword Explorer or Gooogle Search Console, and for the most relevant keywords, I find either very low search volumes, null search volumes, or "Data not available." How do I make good keyword planning decisions when I can't find good data for search volume? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Andy

The same keyword on multiple pages, but not all (combined with other relevant keywords) for products.
Hi Guys, I want to get an opinion/advice on this. My client has a site that have all their products (I am working on expanding the product descriptions, benefits and how they differ from each other) listed and I just want to know if I can use the term 'gear oil' for example on multiple pages as one of the keywords. The product range (among others like transmission fluid and anti-freeze) is gear oil (with the different types of gear oils available described) and I can't really change what the product is. I do have different variations (such as gear lubricant, automotive gear lubricant, car gear oil etc.) but will it do damage if I use the same keyword (like gear oil) on multiple pages (along with another relevant keyword that does not involve the words gear oil)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

Keyword Moderator List
Hi Moz Community, I'm wondering if anyone has a comprehensive list of keyword moderators that they could share? For example: online
Keyword Research | | IrishTimes
buy [keyword] online
cheap
cheapest
best
top
free
[country name]
[area name]
store
shop
purchase etc... I always find that it's useful to run [keyword + moderator] for search volumes as it sometimes uncovers some exact match surprises that you may not have thought of. Thanks everyone! Gavin1 -
Has anyone tried SECockpit as their Keyword Research tool ?
I'm looking for a tool to help with keyword research, and judging by the presentation and few reviews I could find, SECockpit at http://swissmademarketing.com/secockpit/ seems to be a nice product. They pull their data (partly) from SEOmoz, which is a good sign. Any feedback ? Thx Gil
