How we can rank two keywords
-
Here is my example. I developed a property inspection app, where the keyword I try to rank is property inspection app, and property inspection software. Property Inspection Software got slightly more traffic than app. I would like to rank both of this keyword high for my main website, but there is only one title, one H1 tag I can use to have keyword, where if I use "App" there is no way to have "Software" on the title, etc. How can I deal with such a case? Any help will be appreciate.

Too many worry to try, because the changes might completely destroy the SEO, or may benefit SEO. But there is no sure answer. So I will try to gradually make the changes to see what happens, rather than a sudden change. Thank you for your reply. I will also try long tail keyword and more content on the marketing end. And for sure I have tons to talk about the app.

I'm thing about the same, prepare for the updates on the website now. I will share the progress and how that will affect ranking here if there are many major increase or decrease of ranking. But another questions, is google will rank high for keyword targeted page. for ex,
www.snapinspect.com/property-inspection-app rather than www.snapinspect.com the second is a domain which is more trust than the first url.

Hi Terrysun -
It's a good question to be sure. Why not have separate pages targeted at the different keywords? Since you have both iOS and Android apps, your homepage can be targeted at [Property Inspection Software] and then you can use site.com/ios-property-inspection-app and site.com/android-property-inspection-app to rank for those specific keywords. If you want, then have a page a level higher at site.com/property-inspection-app to target that specific keyword.
Hope this helps!

Agreed! Terrysun, you may also want to read through Cyrus Shepard's "Keywords to Concepts." It's getting to be a bit on the older side, but it's a huge help in understanding how you don't necessarily have to rely on your exact-match keywords.

Just try to work them both into the content, meta, etc. Example Title: Property Inspection Software: Free App (iOS, Android)
Put less focus on cramming your exact keywords across your page and more focus on writing natural & marketing.

Hi,
Sorry about the confuse. I'm running a website www.snapinspect.com have app (iOS and Android), and an web app to server property inspection. I tried to rank this site higher with keyword "Property Inspection Software", and "Property Inspection App". But from page title point of view, I can not put both two keywords in for better ranking both. While "Property Inspection Software" have more search volume, but since website title was on "SnapInspect Property Inspection App Software" for quite a while. I'm afraid my changes will make the ranking even worse. So I took small steps to change the title to "Property Inspection App & Software - SnapInspect", and "App" keyword rank increased instantly within 2 days time, but "Software" keyword havn't pickup yet. So any way I can rank both keywords high? Even if you go through the other better rank page, they have less Doamin Authority and Page Authority still above mine.

I am little confused here. Are you talking about ranking the app in app store or you has a website for an app that you are trying to ranking in search engines? OR you are trying to rank your app in search engines?
I would love if you can describe a little more and maybe I can be of your help.

How is this page ranking?
Hi. A client of mine is being outranked by a competitor whose landing page does not include the keyword within their page content AT ALL. Nor does their URL. Nor do any image alts. And their page title features the keyword in the middle of it, not at the start. Their link profile is not great with directories and the like. They are not socially active.. I am confused! I thought content on a page absolutely had to include the keyword to get ranked for it. Here's the page: www.springsoft.ie, keyword is "water softeners" Any thoughts I would appreciate. Many thanks.Christoffa

Two keyowrds for one page
Hi there! I just optimize two pages for the same keyword as I didn't find a especific keyword for each one independently. On the other hand, these keyword was "suitalbe" for the same two pages. Obviously Google will have to "make a decision" regarding what page should it be indexed in the first postion? In what aspects or elements of the page should I incide in order to give priority to one page more than the other one? Thnaks

I have two pages ranking for the same keyword.
The index page and the targeted landing page for that keyword. They have different content, title, meta but I am competing with myself for the main keyword in the industry. What is the best way to fix this? 301 the keyword page to the index page?

Homepage ranking before optimized page
We finally managed to obtain a spot in the first 10 positions of the serps for our main keyword. Since a week, our homepage started ranking in the top 15 as well, so we we're pretty excited about that. On our way to dominate the top 10! Since 2 days we started to rank with our homepage before our optimized page, which sucks because the metadescription (made up by Google) isn't helping our CTR. Is there a way that we can show Google that the other page is more relevant than the homepage? Or do we have to wait until we have build up enough PA to switch places with the homepage (seems unlikely to me).

Ranking Issues Recently Popping Up
We have a site that based on your research tools, holds its own in almost all aspects in regards to # of links, # of different linking domains, quality of links, mozrank, moztrust and all that stuff. Compared to our top competitors, we do very well based on your tools via our campaign monitor. The issue is we seem to be dropping like crazy every month in our rankings and traffic despite this fact, and we can't get our head around the cause. I do have a couple of ideas, and I wanted to run them by you guys to get your opinion. Domain: bonitaj.com My Thoughts On Possible Issues... 1. Text Content & Panda Update I know one of the big things with the panda update was quality of content. I know one thing we have for sure is a lack of "text-based" content. Sure, we have home page, main cats, sub-cats and product pages, but they are mostly just windows into the product pages, and don't have a whole lot of good copy. THIS IS MOST EVIDENT ON OUR PRODUCT PAGES, where each product page is loaded with content, but only 3-4 very short paragraphs of text. Do you think this is hurting us? THE ONLY ISSUE IS THAT our competitors also don't have a whole lot of text-based content on their pages. 2. Too Many Category Pages & Same Products Featured Somewhat on them I think another problem may be that on each category page, we do have a lot of the same products featured. I don't think its crazy duplicate content or anything, but I do think that back in the old days we got a little crazy with creating "niched out" category pages that pretty much feature the same products as some of the more important and base category pages. Do you think this is hurting us? I've pitched a solution to this that involves trying to tone down the amount of sub-cats we feature that were originally geared towards attracting long-tail traffic. In the end that really isn't working anymore anyway, so maybe we're spreading our site thin by going to deep with some of these niche category pages? 3. Lack of a sitemap? We used to use an xml sitemap, and really don't anymore. We have nothing on file with google webmaster tools. I've recently read in one of your blog posts that a simple thing like adding a good sitemap could help our 600+ page site or so get crawled a bit deeper allowing more pages to rank? IN THE END, MY QUESTION IS SIMPLY, IF THERE IS ONE OR TWO THINGS I CAN DO TO GET OVER THIS HUMP, WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST?
