Questions about putting 2-3 keywords in title tag.
-
Hi there,
what is the best way to decide the keywords to be used in title tag?
-
Para nosotros no hay duda: cada título debe ser único y potenciar una única palabra clave. Sin embargo, la originalidad del SEO que optimiza el contenido se encuentra en la capacidad de incluir términos relacionados que compongan diferentes palabras claves que permitan abarcar lo que denominamos la "concordancia amplia" de términos.
Por ejemplo, nosotros establecemos en las fichas de productos "Palabra Clave + Precio (en euros) + [Precio 2023]. Esto nos permite abarcar palabras claves como esta:
Whill Model C2
Optimizar la ficha de esta forma nos permite abarcar las siguientes palabras claves:- Silla Whill Model C2
- Silla Whill Model C2 precio
- Precio 2023 whill model c2
- Mejor precio whill model c2 2023
Interesante debate, espero que te aporten mi planteamiento.

The short answer is: simply use the keywords with the highest volume. But there can be many pitfalls and details which can affect the CTR on the SERP. I love this guide where they tell about them with examples: https://rush-analytics.com/blog/title-of-a-website-optimize-like-a-pro

Identify main topics: Let's say your page is about yoga. Your main topics could be "yoga for beginners" and "yoga poses."
Use keyword research: Using a tool like Google Keyword Planner, you might find that "yoga for flexibility" and "yoga for stress relief" are popular related keywords.
Choose relevant and specific keywords: For a title tag, you might choose "Yoga for Beginners: Poses for Flexibility and Stress Relief" to accurately describe your content.
Keep your title tag short: The example title tag is 58 characters, which is within the recommended 60-character limit.
Avoid keyword stuffing: Don't try to cram too many keywords into your title tag. Instead, use them in a way that accurately describes your content and helps potential visitors find your page.

Optimizing your title tags is one of the easiest ways to help improve your rankings on Google. They signal to Google what your page is about. Keep titles around 60 characters.
Avoid typing your title in all caps. Uppercase letters take up extra space and could cause your title to get cut off.
Remove your brand name unless it’s necessary
Use symbols to save space (i.e., “&” instead of “and”)Stuffing lots of keywords into a single page title can hurt that page's rankings. And it can also confuse users, making them less likely to click through to your page.
Keep the title tag readable and simple. There are some websites showing title tag score and seo score . You may use those services. Some are free too.
Hope this helps,
Thanks, Yoglica -
The title tag is an important part of SEO, and including 2-3 keywords in the title tag can help your website rank higher in search engine results. It is important to make sure that the keywords you choose are relevant to the content of the page, and that they are used in a natural way that makes sense to readers. Additionally, it is important to keep the title tag concise and to the point, as search engines may truncate titles that are too long.

what is the best way to decide the keywords to be used in title tag?
When deciding on keywords to use in the title tag, it's important to consider the relevance and search volume of the keywords. The title tag is one of the most important on-page SEO factors, as it tells search engines and users what the page is about. Therefore, it's important to include keywords that accurately and effectively describe the content of the page. Additionally, it's also a good idea to consider the competition for the keywords and target long-tail keywords that are less competitive. Finally, it's important to make sure that the title tag is compelling and will entice users to click on the link.

Value of using spaces or no spaces on product category page varient keywords
Hello, all fellow Mozzers,
On-Page Optimization | | JamesDavison
I have taken over a project and this account, so can't change the username according to MOZ.🙃 We run an eCommerce website, and to me, some of the content is conflicting as some pages have more information content than what I would put in a commerce page, but this is how the boss wants it to work, personally, I would separate the content out.
The page I'm working on:
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/205-70-14.html
and this is an example of the rest of these types of pages, I will be tackling:
https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/125-15.html I was tasked to improve SEO ranking, when using the MOZ page grader I had a score of 24 out of 27 83% SEO score and 3-page problems. 7th position in Google for the search term 205/70 R14 As it is a generic product listing page, It was pointless to add to the URL and the Internal links I can't reduce as these are links to products, so I went to reduce the
keyword stuffing and making the page content more natural, this improved the page to 25 out of 27, 87% SEO score and 2-page problems. Improvement to 3rd position in Google, but he wants to chase 1st place to be above his competitors, which is fair enough. It turns out that in the past, they have used this type of page to try and get a high ranking for several search terms, as it is a different variation on a tyre size terms are:
205/70 R14, 205/70R14, 205/70 R 14
205/70 X 14, 205/70X14, 205/70 X14
and so on for all the different ways you can search for this tyre size. He is also convinced Google will see these as different search terms, and while I agree to an extent, this causes Keyword Stuffing on the page, which in turn was harming the rankings. Each product listed on the page already has its own title 205/70 R14, 205/70 HR14 and so on, so my question is. What is the best practice for writing content on these types of pages to gain high rankings for several Keywords, and what value does writing the same keyword with spaces and no spaces have? Any help or advice is welcome, so I have a better understanding of how to approach this for this page and the rest of the site. Cheers Mal0 -
Improving SEO for an e-commerce page with 1 product page
I'm trying to improve the SEO for an e-commerce store that I'm working for that sells custom car air fresheners where you select the shape of the item and then upload the photo. The site has been around for almost 10 years so has authority in the field and ranks number one for custom car air fresheners and other related high-traffic keywords. However, there is no blog, no social media and has 8 total pages: landing page, FAQ, contact, guidelines, shape/product (page that starts the ordering process with little text), scents, terms, and samples.
Keyword Research | | campionn
I'm struggling with how we rank higher for specific keywords that we are not number 1 with ok traffic (such as dog air freshener, custom air freshener for car with picture, custom photo car air freshener) and not affect the current keywords that we are ranking number one for. In addition, how do we rank higher for other keywords, if we don't have that many pages like a blog to create content? I was thinking of creating a blog to target more keywords, but I don't think there is enough relevant content to make. And I feel Google would find a blog about "top gifts for dad" or "top gifts for the holidays" not relevant. I was also thinking of adding more text to the shapes/product page which could be tailored towards a keyword. Maybe I could create another product page that goes into more detail about the air freshener with images, descriptions, and other use cases. On MOZ, the Domain Authority is 18 (really low), so I am thinking about working on getting backlinks from relevant sources with authority to improve our SEO. Or do we not mess with the text on the website since it works and not worry about the other keywords and focus on technical SEO items and backlinks to help with SEO? TLDR: How do you improve SEO for new keywords for an e-commerce business that doesn't have a lot of pages for content without affecting its number 1 ranking on other keywords?0 -
Unsolved Keyword Volume Filtered By City Location?
Let's say I look up the keyword "plumber" in the Keyword Research tool. I get a monthly volume of 70.8k-118k. Now, I want to know how much of that volume comes from a specific city in the United States, like Kalamazoo, Michigan. Is there a way to identify this? My alternative is to look up the keyword "Kalamazoo plumber". This has two problems: People who search for local services will frequently leave off the location, with the expectation that the search engine will provide localized organic results. So, the search volume isn't very precise. That keyword has N/A volume, so the information doesn't help me anyway. Any alternative way to get at this data? Thanks!

When Google rewrites a title tag, do you get the SEO impact for the original version?
Let's say you're writing a homepage title tag like this: KEYWORD | BRAND and Google rewrites it as BRAND | KEYWORD From Moz and best practices, we believe that keywords closer to the beginning of a title tag may have more impact on search rankings. So, when Google rewrites the title tag, do you get the impact you would have made with the keyword being closer to the front? Or, does Google give you the impact you would have received with the keyword being at the end?

Have Your Thoughts Changed Regarding Canonical Tag Best Practice for Pagination? - Google Ignoring rel= Next/Prev Tagging
Hi there, We have a good-sized eCommerce client that is gearing up for a relaunch. At this point, the staging site follows the previous best practice for pagination (self-referencing canonical tags on each page; rel=next & prev tags referencing the last and next page within the category). Knowing that Google does not support rel=next/prev tags, does that change your thoughts for how to set up canonical tags within a paginated product category? We have some categories that have 500-600 products so creating and canonicalizing to a 'view all' page is not ideal for us. That leaves us with the following options (feel it is worth noting that we are leaving rel=next / prev tags in place): Leave canonical tags as-is, page 2 of the product category will have a canonical tag referencing ?page=2 URL Reference Page 1 of product category on all pages within the category series, page 2 of product category would have canonical tag referencing page 1 (/category/) - this is admittedly what I am leaning toward. Any and all thoughts are appreciated! If this were in relation to an existing website that is not experiencing indexing issues, I wouldn't worry about these. Given we are launching a new site, now is the time to make such a change. Thank you! Joe

Should i not use hyphens in web page titles? Google Penalty for hyphens?
all the page titles in my site have hyphens between the words like this: http://texas.com/texas-plumbers.html I have seen tests where hyphenated domain names ranked lower than non hyphenated domain names. Does this mean my pages are being penalized for hyphens or is this only in the domain that it is penalized? If I create new pages should I not use hyphens in the page titles when there are two or more words in the title? If I changed all my page titles to eliminate the hyphens, I would lose all my rankings correct? My site is 12 years old and if I changed all these titles I'm guessing that each page would be thrown in the google sandbox for several months, is this true? Thanks mozzers!

Missing Meta Description Tag - Wordpress Tag
I am going through my crawl diagonostics issues and I have lots of "Missing Meta Description Tags". However when I look at the url's they are Wordpress Tags, which do not have a meta description. Shall I just ignore these errors or should I find a way to add a meta description? Is it important?
