My target keyword is "moringa powder" but my product title is "moringa ultimate original powder". Is this a problem?
-
The focus keyword is "moringa powder".
The product title and default H1 tag is "moringa ultimate original powder".
The url also has "moringa ultimate original powder".
Yoast is saying the keyword does not appear in the url or any subheadings. So should I change the product title and url to Original Ultimate moringa powder or is having them separated ok?

Even though Yoast is saying the keyword does not appear in the url or any subheadings, the page still has a good chance to rank well. As long as you use it in the page copy, you should be fine. Concentrate on the internal links to that page (for example, use "moringa powder" in links that point to the page.
Also, you'll most likely need links from other sites to that page with that anchor text "moringa powder". It's also good to mix up those anchor text links from other sites, such as using "ultimet moringa powder" and "moringa ultimate original powder" so it's more "natural".

As much as I love the Yoast SEO plugin, I find that it oversimplifies on-page optimization with its SEO score. Getting a green light for your focus keyword will not automatically catapult your page to the #1 spot in Google search results. In fact, it can sometimes lead to over-optimization because you've focused all of your efforts on one keyword just to get the green light from Yoast.
It's fine to have "moringa" and "powder" separated in some places, especially since you have "moringa powder" together in the page title and several times elsewhere on the page. You also have lots of good content on the page. I would spend more time optimizing for long-tail keywords and earning good, quality backlinks.

Colons in title tag?
Does Google view the colon as a keyword separator like it does with the pipe (|) character? Currently, our site automatically constructs the title tag based on the page name given by the user. Long ago, we started using the colon character to visually separate the brand & model of the product from the size, and as a result, all of our title tags have been constructed this way. This was done more to make it easier to read for humans than for search engines. My question is - should I consider getting rid of the colon from our title tags? To give more info, our website sells tires. So, for any given model of tire, there might be 25-100 different individual sizes. The tags are constructed as follows: (brand)(model) : (size). Here's an example from our site: GENERAL ALTIMAX ARCTIC : 225/45R17 91Q The brand is General Tire, the model is the Altimax Arctic and the size is 225/45R17 91Q Since this entire string really constitutes the full product name, should I remove the colon so that Google views it that way? Or, since I have used a colon instead of a pipe, will Google simply ignore it and treat the entire string as one keyword phrase?

How to separate your - keywords - and | Brand name in the Title Tag
I have traditionally used hyphens (-) and vertical bars (|) to separate out keywords/brands in title tags. A client has asked if other characters will work such as tilde (~), apersat (@), forward slash (/) etc. Are there any special characters we should steer clear of?

Page Title in Local SEO Title Tags?
Hi All, Still working on my title tag usage for local SEO, and I was hoping for some more feedback. My question is this: In Local SEO titles, I'm using location + keyword combinations, unique on each page. However, since each page has a specific title for the client, I figure I should be placing that at the front. My thought here was that this helps with the overall usability to the reader of the website. Ex. Contact Us page for Pizza shop Contact Us | Springfield IN Gourmet Pizza | Moe's Italian Pizza Anyone have thoughts on this one? Thank you!

One site with one product or multi product website
Lets suppose that i have 10 NICHE products under me. Should i make one site for each product or one site overall. If i make 1 site for each product i get several advantages Domain name has keyword Title tags etc will be dedicated to one keyword only. Disavantage - Backlinking for each domain will become tougher. Advantage of one site onl Good management Seo / backlinks becomes easier Blogging to attract traffic becomes easier Can target a lot of keywords through business blogging Disadvantages Can become messy with unimportant keywords gaining importance. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK??? One site per product or One site for all products?
