      New to this so bear with,

      I am a TV aerial, satellite, CCTV, Door entry, Access Control, Telephone repair engineer.

      I have one seperate page for each of the installations I carry out as well as the basic home, about, areas, faqs and so on.

      My question is do i have one key phrase for each of the services  i cover or do i just relate all the keywords from that service into the keywords tag

      ie, META name=keywords content="Digial aerials Stockport,digital aerials Manchester,aerials Stockport,aerials Manchester,aerial repairs Stockport,aerial repairs Manchester,digital,aerial,tv,tv aerials Manchester,tv aerials Stockport,arials,arial,aerial installer,aerial installations,aeril installation,Stockport,Manchester ,">

      That is what i have fro Tv aerial installation,

      Should i make landing pages for each phrase for each service or stick to one page?

      www.redvalecommunications.co.uk is the site if you want to take a look

      thanks in advance

        Hey Steve,

        As Ryan mentioned the keyword meta tag is no longer used for ranking purposes. Here's a great Google Webmaster Post and video with Mat Cutts that covers this topic.

        As for your keywords I would stick to 2 or 3 per page so that the page is targeted and tightly themed. If you try to optimize your pages for too many keywords the content will likely start to become diluted and less valuable from a search engines perspective. To answer your second question more directly it would be ideal to have individual pages that target a single keyword, however I would only recommend this if you have quality content to support each of the keywords. Otherwise, your pages will have a difficult time ranking.

        Something to note is that a few of your keywords are multi-purpose. In other words, if you optimize one of your pages for "digital aerials stockport" you will naturally be optimizing for "aerials stockport" as this keyword is contained within "digital aerials stockport." Just something to think about 🙂

        If you're looking for some tips on keyword research check out this section of the SEOmoz Beginners Guide to SEO.

        Hopefully this helps - good luck!

          The keywords meta tag is deprecated and not used by any of the major search engines, so don't even worry about that.

          As for a general strategy you should focus on a keyword or two for each page and optimize for that. When you link internally in your site, use the keywords your optimizing for in the anchor text. When acquiring external links try to do this as much as possible. Don't cannibalize yourself by trying to optimize for the same keyword across all your pages.

          I wouldn't worry about making landing pages in order to get them ranked - thats what your main pages are for. Use landing pages to test out what converts best with A/B testing, and as end points for your PPC campaigns.

            Inconsistent Keyword Search Volume & Difficulty Across Tools (e.g., Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, Semrush)

            keyword difficulty keyword explorer

            Hi there, Moz Community! I'm reaching out for some guidance on keyword research discrepancies. I'm currently targeting the keyword "sui gas bill" for my blog, sngplbill, which focuses on information related to Sui gas bills. I've used several keyword research tools, including Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Semrush, and each platform provides different search volume and keyword difficulty scores: Moz: No search volume data, Keyword Difficulty (KD) 24
            Google Keyword Planner: Search volume 100k-1M, Difficulty (Low)
            Semrush: Search volume 90k, KD 31
            Ahrefs: KD 1 (Very Easy)
            These varying results are causing some confusion. Ideally, I'd like to understand which platform offers the most reliable data for search volume and keyword difficulty. Here are some additional details that might be helpful: My target location: Pakistan My Questions: What factors might contribute to these discrepancies in keyword data across different tools?
            Considering my niche (Sui gas bill information in Pakistan), which platform would you recommend for the most accurate search volume and keyword difficulty estimates?
            Are there any additional factors to consider beyond search volume and keyword difficulty when selecting keywords for content strategy?
            Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

            What defines what words in a title are considered Keywords?

            Hi, sorry if this is a silly question. I'm curious how keywords are defined. Is every word in a title a possible keyword? If I have a keyword titled "Linear Shower Drain | 40" Long", does it take the whole thing as a keyword? Is just "Linear Shower Drain" the keyword? Would "Shower Drain" pop up as a keyword, since its nested in the title? Thank you in advance for your answers!

            Focus Keyword

            Hi everyone! I am pretty new to SEO so all the help would be great. Does every webpage on our website need a focus keyword for example like the about us page. We have webpages for every location in the UK - Would it be helpful if the location webpages had a focus keyword also? Just to note that I am using Yoast on Wordpress. Many thanks,
            Aqib

            Setting Up a Keyword Matrix

            Greetings MOZ community!! My real estate web site contains about 500 pages with perhaps 70 pages targeting low volume, somewhat valuable but not very competitive keywords. Three to four URLs target very competitive terms. The following  terms are among the most valuable: New York City office space,
            New York office space,
            Manhattan office space,
            NYC office space Such variants as: Office space in New York City,
            Office space in New York,
            Office space in Manhattan,
            Office space in NYC
            ETCETERA convert really well How would I match different terms to different URLs? For example I have just re-written the following two critical URLs: www.nyc-officespace-leader.com (home page)
            http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/commercial-space/office-space (product page) Would it make sense to use "Manhattan office space" and variants on the home page while excluding "New York City office space" variants? At the same time I would use "New York City office space" variants on the "office-space" product page while excluding all mention of "Manhattan office space". Is this logical and does it conform to SEO best practices? For the "NYC office space" terms I would add them to http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/listings. This URL has almost no text but a strong potential to rent because of a high number of incoming internal links. Is this approach sensible? In general what measures should I take to prevent URLs from competing for the same keywords? Also, is there a software package or tools that I can use to come up with keyword variants? As a non SEO professional, can I create my own keyword matrix or is this really in the realm of a professional SEO consultant? Thanks, Alan

            The same keyword on multiple pages, but not all (combined with other relevant keywords) for products.

            Hi Guys, I want to get an opinion/advice on this. My client has a site that have all their products (I am working on expanding the product descriptions, benefits and how they differ from each other) listed and I just want to know if I can use the term 'gear oil' for example on multiple pages as one of the keywords. The product range (among others like transmission fluid and anti-freeze) is gear oil (with the different types of gear oils available described) and I can't really change what the product is. I do have different variations (such as gear lubricant, automotive gear lubricant, car gear oil etc.) but will it do damage if I use the same keyword (like gear oil) on multiple pages (along with another relevant keyword that does not involve the words gear oil)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

            Keyword Conundrum...

            I have 3 keywords that I am targeting. Assume for the time being that they are all equally competitive. Includes local exact match monthly searches: Managed IT Services - 3600 IT Managed Services - 720 Managed IT Support - 170 They are all exactly synonymous, not to mention other keywords such as IT Managed Support, Managed IT Service, IT Managed Service, Managed IT Service Provider, etc..  My current strategy is to target the top 3 all on one page. The problem then is the title tag: Managed IT Services | IT Managed Services | Managed IT Support Pretty spammy. I could build pages for all 3, but how would I incorporate them into the website since they are all synonyms. Can I get some recommendations on how to handle this? What would you use for a title tag? How would handle separate pages with synonymous content?

            Help finding some decent keywords

            Anyone care to help a SEO Newbie find a couple of key words that would be easier to rank for for my website that provides kayak fishing information? mysite: yakangler.com The key words that I've identified are as follows: best kayak   
            fishing from a kayak
            fishing kayak review
            fishing kayaks   
            kayak and fishing
            kayak fishing   
            kayak for fishing   
            kayak reviews   
            kayak rigging
            kayak weight limit   
            kayaks fishing   
            kayaks for fishing But I'm worried I'm missing the point, I don't see hardly any traffic from most of these. I've really tried to rank for "kayak fishing" but seem to be totally lost in the Google Panda abyss. Any advice on a different word or strategy would be greatly appreciated!
