Will this domain name provide results?

Yep you sure can. (Won't be a HUGE issue if you link the two together since there are only two sites) That's actually what the search engines frown upon. Depending on your main focus (Which one you want to rank higher) you can use canonical tags.
You can use the canonical tag to point the lesser important one to the more important page. This will let the search engines know that the content has a parent site.

Can I really get dinged for duplicate content on two completely separate domains? I will do my best to create distinction.

Be careful with duplicated content since you are going to have two sites targeting the same product/service.
Try to be as unique as possible on each site.

Thanks Aaron & Lewis!
This site will be a standalone site that will offer this one product. We have also structured our core company site just as you both mentioned. Because this is such a huge product I thought it would be good to have a separate site for it. I'll be pushing it from two sites. It sounds like i'm headed in the right direction. Thanks again!

Hi Alexander
As mentioned by Aaron if the existing company domain already has authority or a string link profile then
www.company.com/contractor-license-bond may be the best approach. The new pages benefit from the strenghth of the domain and the URL has the 2 exact key phrases in it that you mentioned.
You can ensure the new page or section of the site is optimised from an on page perspective and then work on relevant link building to the www.company.com/contractor-license-bond page.

Obviously you won't receive the exact match benefits that contractorlicensebond.com would, BUT you will still get Contract out of Contractor and the LicenseBond part will help as well.
As long as you match your title and appropriate on-page aspects with that keyword you should be fine. Will take some time if its going to be a national target keyword (unless the competition is few and far between)
I would suggest ContractLicenseBond.com. Will this be a site entirely dedicated to a single product or will this be your company's main site?
If you already have a nice trusted highly ranked main website I would suggest purchasing that domain (Just to make sure you get it) and then see if you can create a page off of your main site for this particular product and see if you can get ranked for that keyword simply using your main website.
Page URL could be maincompanyurl.com/contractorlicensebond and then build out this page and start driving proper links to this page.
I could talk about this subject all day but if you need more details I will be glad to help.

How do you compare results using different tools?
We are looking at SEO as ways of promoting our online flip page travel magazine but its really difficult to distinguish the good from the bad and the downright ugly in terms of agencies to use. For example we are proposing to use an SEO agency who have come up with a long list of interesting keywords. The problem is that the degree of competitiveness which is listed alongside each keyword varies dramatically from the results I achieved by keying in the same keywords into the moz keyword tool. The agency says their results are achieved by using Google tools. Any advice on what to do would be really welcome. The website is www.eurotravelmag.com and the flip page magazine can be reached here: www.eurotravelmag.com/current Thanks David

Discrepancies between SEOMOZ's Google api exact match search volume results and google's keyword tool, why?
I'm finding major discrepancies between SEOMOZ's google api exact match search volumes and Google's own keyword tool, why? For example, 'bridge loans' gets 1300 searchs according to Google's keyword tool, but SEOMOZ says it only gets 210 (both on exact match). So which one do I believe? I know one is the average over 12 months and the other is for last month alone but still that's a huge difference.

How do you limit the number of keywords that will be researched
I'm working with a client who has a website, but doesn't really have a clearly defined idea of who their key audience is nor do they know what keyword phrases they would like to rank for. I know that I can generate a starting list by reviewing their site, but I want to set some parameters on it so I can provide an accurate estimate. I'm looking for suggestions on how to do this.
