Why will my site not rank for this keyword?
-
My site http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/ performs quite well for most of my keywords and gets ok traffic.
But for "electric radiators" it just isn't ranking? I was thinking about redoing the landing page for it?
Can anyone offer some insight as to what else I could do?
Here is the current electric radiators page
http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/electric-radiators-2/
Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura
When I checked (and I've just checked again), the real time results show that the title tag is showing the company name. If you, or another person have made these changes, they haven't been saved and effected the change.
I've attached a screenshot of keyword analysis for that page - only showing critical and high factors. You can see that it references the Title Tag in two areas as being unticked.
The number 2 in your url will be fine and shouldn't cause you any issues at all. As a starting point, your title tag and your images titles and alt tags should resolve it. You can then work at marketing that page etc.
I would really recommend the moz toolbar, I don;t think I could live without it to be honest! When you know what you are looking for, it tells you exactly what you need to know in an instant.

Thanks Jo - I've done most of those as well as increased keyword density.
I didn't create the site originally but I noticed that the link that is indexed in Google is this one http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/electric-radiators/
Where the one that should be coming up is http://www.electric-heatingcompany.co.uk/index.php/electric-radiators-2/
Is it the 2 in the URL that is affecting the site position? If I change the permalinks I'll have to set up redirects? would that be better? I don't have access to Ht access at this point also.

Hi Jo do you know of any faster ways for getting quality back links?

Hi Laura
I just took a quick look at the page and did some analysis with the SeoMoz toolbar - you can download that as a chrome extension and its brilliant for a quick healthcheck on your individual pages.
The first thing I noticed was that you have the Title tag <title>as your business name - The Electric Heating company. I would start with immediately changing that to Include your keyword at the beginning.</p> <p style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">I only checked a few of your pages, but all were named with your business. A classic no-no as Google definitely uses the title tag to find out what your page(s) are about.</p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">Another thing, you have a couple of images on there named radiator3 and radiator4...consider renaming those images and adding alt tags to include 'electric radiators for conservatories and EHC Electric Radiators.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">I also noticed you have a wordpress site. I'd really recommending adding the Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin. That trains you how to optimise your pages and I have had great success with that.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">Hope that helps - that will definitely help you get ranked for the term. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">Thanks</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color: #5e5e5e;">Jo</span></p></title>

Different audiences with same keywords

Keyword Research for Low Volume Keywords
Hey friends, I'm looking for a little keyword research direction here, specifically for keywords and phrases with low search volume. I'm just going to give a recent example: I just finished a piece of content on customer experience. I began the process with some keyword research. Based on Moz's keyword explorer, "customer experience" has a monthly volume of 2.9k-4.3k. Sweet. So I move onto related queries and longer tail phrases to narrow my content approach. But just about any relevant phrase shows either a volume of 0-10 or 11-50 and very similar difficulty metrics, making it tough to choose a direction. So "what is customer experience" shows a monthly volume of 0-10. SEM Rush reports ~350 searches a month. I understand SEM Rush uses broader match, but I guess what I'm asking is: how do I perform keyword research with such minuscule volumes and such little data to differentiate? I've looked at Russ Jones' answer to a similar question here on how Keyword Explorer works: https://moz.com/community/q/what-is-a-good-keyword-volume-score ... but I still don't have a ton of clarity. Any advice would be awesome!

Wrong page ranking for keyword.
I have a page i'm trying to rank for certain keywords around "emergency vet clinic" the page is domain.com/emergency-vet-care but my home page is the one that is ranking better and better. How can I get the other page to rank for e.g. "emergency vet care" , "emergency animal care" and the main page to rank for just regular vet care? My on page looks pretty good. I've also taken out most references to emergency care on the main home page except for the one link to it. Thanks

Is this keyword cannibalization?
I have a product page and our home page ranked for the same keyword. On August 6th the product page was ranked #14 then plummeted to #60. On August 13th our home page was in the #2 spot (line just appears out of nowhere) and it is now in the #1 spot. I also see the same pages appearing for some keywords ranked in multiple positions then plummeting and one coming back up. I'm having a hard time understanding how the Keyword tool in Moz is reporting exactly. Thanks! To add to this: From Oct 8th to the 15th we jumped up from #60 to #16 for one keyword and then by Oct. 22nd are back down to #60. I have a huge spike on the 15th. Wondering if that had anything to do with any algorithm updates?
