What is your process for finding the best keywords for which to optimize and track?

(I searched but didn't find anything similar here)
When you start a campaign, what is your method for finding the best keywords to optimize on your site and to track? Please share methodologies and tools on Moz that you use. I of course use Keyword explorer, and choose the higher volume keywords, but I am not sure I am looking in the most effective places. Any discussion on this would be greatly appreciated.

This all depends on what your business wants to sell, to whom & where. As for keyword research, I'd recommend using:
- Keywords Everywhere
- SEM Rush
- Google KW planner/
- Moz
- Ahrefs

One of the coolest tools that I've run across to work in conjunction with MOZ Pro is a free plugin https://keywordseverywhere.com/ . Someone needs to create an API to sync with MOZ.
Here is the direct link:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keywords-everywhere-keywo/hbapdpeemoojbophdfndmlgdhppljgmpIt is a google chrome plugin that is amazing and very efficient and effective. For every search you do it lists related keywords and the cost / if you were to use add words. You can quickly check to mark the keywords that you want to add to a .csv file and download them in bulk. Then upload to MOZ.
I also use Moz in conjunction with AWR (Advanced Key Word ranking) which is about 99 / month but an incredible tool for SERP tracking. Once you learn it and understand the graphs and have all the keywords input properly. You just have to look at weekly reports. MOZ may do the exact same thing but I have been using this program for soo long that it is hard to switch / re-tool / re-learn, so for me, it is worth the additional 99/mo.
But if you have not downloaded and installed the chrome plugin Key Words Every Where, do it. You may thank me later. It literally takes 5 minutes to install and no configuration. IT IS AMAZING!! Hope this helps!

Keyword stuffing - on page grader count
I used the on page grader for my homepage, www.cprnj.com, and it said the keyword "physical therapy" was used 26 times in the body of the page. But I can't find more than 4. How exactly is keyword stuffing accounted for, and is there some place that I am not seeing the keywords?

Where is the best place to add links on my site?
If I'd like to put links to other sites in my site, is it better to have a page named "Our Helpful Links" etc. instead of just adding them to the bottom of an existing page like I've seen on some sites? I'm asking because I'm wanting to make Google as happy as possible and still add them. Just in case it helps to look at the site yourself to give advise its; http://www.allstatetransmission.net If you see anything else there that I should work on feel free to be hard on it, I value any criticism. Thanks, Jeff

Can you track the same keywords across multiple campaigns?
I have a few clients in similar industries across the country and I'm wondering if it's possible to track the same keywords (for instance, air conditioner repair, faucet replacement) across more than one campaign, or if I'll had to reupload the same keyword list for each one. Thanks!!

Where can I find documentation for the different SEO Pro Tools?
I apologize if this has been asked and answered or if the documentation is right in front of my nose, but I can't find it. I'm looking for information that explains what the various tools do and in particular, what each of the fields in the reports mean? For example, what does the "Find Links on this Domain" link mean in a Juicy Linkfinder Report? I know there are lots of resources on SEO and best practices and so on, but wondering if documentation on the specific tools exists. Thanks.
