Keyword inside keyword

[Graphbyte]

Hi,

I'm a newb and I'm trying to wrap my head around how this keyword thing works. Let's say I find these KWs as part of my research:

1. Acupuncture
2. Acupuncture Clinics
3. Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville
4. Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Florida

Does optimizing for Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Florida optimize me for all the other terms as well? And furthermore, might I appear for searches like these too:

1. Acupuncture Florida
2. Acupuncture Gainesviile
3. Acupuncture clinics Fl

Thanks a bunch!

Hello,

On top of just keywords I would highly recommend Moz Local.

If you use them you won't need to worry about location keywords. People will find you there.

Thanks,

Hey,

Thanks for posting your question. Yes if you optimize for "Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Florida", it will get you the traction on related searches that you mentioned but not very much on the keywords like "Acupuncture" & "Acupuncture Clinics".

The thing is, if you're targeting "Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Florida" kind of keywords, you will be going to adopt local SEO and your content/page optimization and link building will be totally based for that. Plus, the competition level will be totally different on generic keywords.

Hope this helps!
