What do you do with indexed pages that you can't find any keywords for?
-
You know those pages that you really need to have for your site that most people get to through the nav bar or maybe internal linking, but never through organic search?
The ones where you can't find any applicable keywords with volume or even just a keyword with no volume data that just shows up in the Google autocomplete or People Also Search For.
What's the better option?
- just not optimize the page for any keywords at all, but have Title Tag/Meta Description optimized for CTR just in case
OR
- optimize the page for a very loosely applicable keyword even though it's a a bit of stretch or longshot
-
I think that optimizing for a specific keyword or keywords is sort of out of date
I think this piece of content is excellent regarding this topic. Keywords obviously matter but not in the same way most people think they do.

Title Tag/Meta Description optimized for CTR just in case
YES

Have question about usage of similar keywords on single vs multiple pages within the same site...
I am working on a campaign with someone and have been talking back and forth about some keyword usage thoughts. More precisely multiple keywords that are similar and how to use them on the page for best results in ranking without diluting our own work to rank well. Example: Keywords:
Keyword Research | | allstatetransmission
Vehicle Wraps
Vehicle Wraps Phoenix
Phoenix Vehicle Wraps
Car Wraps
Car Wraps Phoenix
Phoenix Car Wraps One thought is that the keywords are so similar that it would best benefit us to target one page to the grouping of like keywords and long-tail keywords, and not making separate pages as to create competition for the same keyword within the site itself. Also that Google is "smart" enough to see that car wraps and vehicle wraps are like keywords, and that car wraps when linked to a site from Phoenix, will also pull as Car Wraps Phoenix. The other thought is we target one page for each separate keyword although the keywords are so similar. What are your thoughts? I wanted to ask all of your thoughts as I am sure your feedback will be enlightening. (Always helpful!!) Thank you!0 -

Separate Page for each Keyword - doesn't it sound to be a dead tactic?
Hi everyone, I wonder what you think about a strategy of creating new separate pages for each targeted keyword? Option 1. Something like this: website.com/keyword-1
Keyword Research | | seocentury
website.com/keyword-2
...
website.com/keyword-100 I think it is better to have all the keywords grouped and target pages for the groups instead of individual keywords. Option 2. Something like this: website.com/group-1
website.com/group-2
...
website.com/group-7 What is the option you would choose? Thanks & Regards.0 -

Comprehensive Keyword Research Report?
I'd like to provide a keyword research report to a client, that includes all of the keywords we're targeting, organized nicely along with relevant data for each (keyword difficulty, search volume, etc.). Is there a way to do this other than running an individual report for each keyword? I'd like to avoid sending them a 50 page document showing all of the keyword research 😉 Thanks for any help! Josh

Keyword categories.
Hello everyone, After watching keyword research for motivated marketers (pro webinar), I've put together a master framework. This works like a charm, however, I'm having trouble with a few categories. They are picking up keywords that are not in the marker that are assigned to the category. For example, I have one category with 10 simple markers like red, green, blue, but when I apply the filter, the results include words that are outside these markers like Career One. . Baffled! Anyone help? Thank you in advance. J
