      Hi,

      Does anyone have any experience in targeting cheap/discount/value etc keywords in an SEO campaign?

      I'm interested to find out:

      • How Google perceives these keywords, as the search results are only very slightly different if you search with or without a 'cheap' keyword.

      • Whether Google differentiates between 'cheap synonyms ie 'cheap' and 'affordable'. There are far higher searches for 'cheap' but affordable is much more user- and conversion-friendly.

      Thanks,

      Karen

        Hi Karen,

        As you mentioned its hard to work Google out so you have to sometime use your best guess.  Logically I would agree a mix of anchor text, and keywords could hep that page. The other way you could look at it was the keyword volume for each term and then target those terms presumably better than the likes you asda etc.

        IT also comes back a little to what Google interprets the terms for, I would recommend looking into the search volume between the two.

        Good luck!

          Hey Chris,

          Thanks very much. I think you're right that I am over-thinking it (as any SEO would when trying to figure Google out!). One thing that stands out for me is that when I do a search (for example for 'cheap console tables', very few of the results on page 1 mention 'cheap' or 'discounted' in their title tags, or their pages. Yet it does seem to know which sites stock cheaper console tables (ebay, gumtree, asda etc). Do you think this could be just down to the use of the word 'cheap' across the rest of the site?

          Karen

            Hi Karen,

            I wonder if you're over thinking this a bit. Lets look at what Google's job is, its to bring the best result back for a users inquiry. Now there are some exceptions to that (like adult content and some pay day loans) but for the most part that rule is true.

            Now the question isn't what Google thinks its what the user thinks is there a difference in the user typing 'cheap product' compared to 'product' ? There is going to be difference between the two searches because the user wants to see different results for each one. You can always test this out by going to Google and trying different searches you can then double up your theory by going to ad-words and looking into search volume between the two.

            I hope that helps a bit.

              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!

              Relevant but not-relevant keywords impact to SEO

              keywords keyword density keyword stuffing

              Hello, I would like to know if the selection of individual keywords(that are not primary, secondary or tertiary) are important for SEO regardless of the relevancy to the page topic. I am wondering how much of a contribution a non-P1/P2/P3 can make in terms of SEO? For example it is a product page and I have built my content with P1,P2&P3 based only on the product and its properties itself. Do you think that a content gap for the page could be the production process of that product? So even if it is a product and its properties page, I can add 2 sentences about the production, so that I can drive more traffic by including these 2 informative sentences.? EXAMPLE:
              So lets' say my topic is "hair types" (P1) and my subtopics are "Straight," "wavy," and "curly"(P2s) which I used as subtitles. But throughout the page, I am planning to add some relevant but not-directly-relevant keywords here and there since they have high metrics and volumes. For example a potential sentence I can add: "innovative hair products these days can offer amazing results for the desired hair types". It is not specifically about "hair types" but I am using the keyword "innovative hair products" (good metrics keyword) which may help for the traffic... Another potential not-so-direct sentence can be: "For all hair types, the hair damages are common: heat damage, chemical damage and mechanical damage". Would adding this extra sentence where I am not specifically talking about "hair types" (my topic) but "hair damages" and damage examples (off-topic high metric keywords) help me to drive traffic to my website? And how much of an impact would it be?

              Choosing the right keywords when the products are similar

              What keywords should I choose if I have 3 similar products, only the value differs?
              It is recommended to use the same keyword, and change the value? Example: Product 1: $ 100 discount coupon
              Keyword: $ 100 discount coupon Product 2: $ 75 discount coupon
              Keyword:? Product 3: $ 50 discount coupon
              Keyword:? Any advice? Thank you, Sergio K.

              How many keywords do you recommend tracking?

              I am working through thousands of organic keywords and would like to create a list of core keywords.  I want the list to be small enough that we can really go after these keywords and track progress.  I work for a B2B software company.  I am thinking between 20-30 but I would love to hear any tips, opinions and recommendations! Thank you!

              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!

              Why does this keyword have much greater volume in Bing Keyword Research Tool than Google AdWords Keyword Planner?

              I'm using the Google AdWords keyword planner and Bing Webmaster Keyword Research tool. For both, I'm trying to get accurate search volume for the exact term "advertising sales". Over the last thirty days, Bing reports a volume of  5,988. Google's average monthly search volume is 880. Given the market share Google has, I would expect a much higher volume, especially when compared to Bing. Can you offer some ideas of why this might be happening?

              Keywords + Country?

              Hey guys, Let's say that I'm doing on-site SEO for a website that sells football shirts. This website targets 5 different countries. We only have a .com domain and no other country specific domains will be added at this point. When I choose the keywords, do I opt for product name + country or only product name? football shirts france or football shirts? Some info: Countries have been added in the title of the pages. Countries appear in the footer. Thank You.
