How does Google Tell which are the keywords you're targetting?
-
Hi!
I've quite a number of synonyms and common related keywords and i know that it needs to be only at one page instead of many different pages.
The keywords are: delivery service singapore, delivery service, singapore delivery service and delivery service in singapore.
Do i need to have an exact variations of each in the content of the page so that google will know i want to target for these keywords. Because i'm trying to make my page to receive an A grade for all these keywords in a page? Do i need to split the keywords into 2 different page to achieve that goal?
Thanks!

don't just think broad vs exact match, also think synonyms and tenses. and don't write for seo write for the user, if it reads weird then don't do it, or make it fit as well as you can like "We operate the best delivery service singapore has to offer."
research your keywords very well to make sure your main targeted and secondary ones are truly the ones people are searching for most. best delivery service singapore seems like too long tail just based on intuition, you may be able to rank well for it, but if no one is searching for it you'll get no traffic

True! Why didn't i think about that.... Thanks!
But my best keyword that i'm banging on is "delivery service singapore" which is quite incoherent if i use title:"best delivery service singapore" as it is grammatically not right?
Any thoughts on that?

Bingo, yes - this is good advice!

First off, don't split them up on different pages. They are very relevant to each other.
What I'd do is target the main keyword in the title tag. Maybe something like "Best Delivery Service in Singapore." I'd also reflect his keyword in the H1 of the page. From there you could use a variation in one of the h2's on the page, and just synonyms in other h2's.
You could do something like:
title: Best Delivery Service in Singapore
H1: Delivery Service in Singapore
H2: Why Choose Our Singapore Delivery Service
H2: Some Variation of Keyword
H2: Some Other Variation
Also, don't worry about the letter grades. An "A" doesn't guarantee top rankings. Aim for an "A" with the main keyword, and "A" or "B" with the variations.

Coworker and I see totally different keyword volumes on same paid keyword planner account
My coworker and I are both connected to the same company's paid keyword planner account but are using our own individual google accounts to log in. When I look up the keyword "joint bank account" I get a search volume of 9,900, while she gets a search volume of 2,900. Does anyone know why this might be? Do we know which might be more accurate? This doesn't seem to be connected to Google lumping semantic variations together. I've seen it happen way before that update. It's hindering our headline pitching since the volume she sees does not meet our minimum search threshold. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Laira

G's Keyword Planner - 800 kw limit on search volume results?
I'm trying to use Google's Keyword Planner to pull the search volume for a large list of keywords (2000+). While you're able to upload a CSV of up to 3000 keywords, the search volume search only returns a maximum of 800 keywords per query, which is an issue as I have no idea which keywords it's cutting out. Is there any way around this? I have looked around online, but haven't been able to find a solid solution. Thanks in advance!

Big difference in rank on google.com and google.no
Hi Our E-com website went from 8th to 1st spot yesterday for our most important keyword (barneklær = childrens clothing) on google.no weirdly enough we arent ranking on first page at all on google.com . I find this very strange especially since the keyword itself is so country specific - mainly because of the norwegian specific letter - æ. The results are not due to personalization i ve check it with the keyword difficulty tool here on seomoz. The sites ranking higher then me on google.com are sites i am ranking higher then on google.no. Anyone got a good explanation ? The changes for my keyword in ranking i saw yesterday was alot more then i am used to see - almost like google made some sort of script change. we went from 8th to 1st. 1st dropped to 4th, 5ht went to 2nd etc - i am not used to seeing this big changes. Anyone got a clue to either of these 2 questions ?
