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.

Wrong pages ranking for specific keywords
Hi moz community We're currently experiencing a lot of our pages ranking for the wrong keyword in the SERPS. Take "womens ski wear" for example, the page rainking via Google links to https://www.dare2b.com/womens/jackets-coats/ When we have an optimized page here https://www.dare2b.com/womens/shop-by/activity/ski/ that imo is more suitable and has the correct H1, meta tile etc. So I'm at a loss to see why google see the jackets page more relevant? Any help on this much appreciated

Meta Keywords
Hello! Just wondering what opinions others have on Meta Keywords? Ive read in the past here on Seomoz that they are irrelevant now to search engines. I do see some of our Large competitors still using them. When I use the SEO page tool to check out pages for optimization it recommends that we remove them? This is something that I have been doing for a few months now but am second guessing myself now. Should I continue to leave them out of current page structure? Thank You!!!!

How to fix keyword self-cannibalization?
page in question: www.bison-builders.com/lots-plans/bison-meadows-lots-1-6/ This page is the landing page for 6 custom home lots, available via Bison Builders. I fixed the overstuffing of 'Bison Meadows', it was on all image title, alt, etc. Should be right around 15. We are using 'Bison Meadows' as a keyword, because that's the name of the custom community. I don't want to change the names of the links, and I don't want to change the name of the keyword. How do I fix this self-cannibalization? FYI, I was thinking of directing all canonical URLs for individual pages to this page, but will wait til I know how to fix this first... Thank you! Avoid Keyword Self-Cannibalization Easy fix <dl> <dt>Cannibalizing link</dt> <dd>"Bison Meadows Lot 1", "Bison Meadows Lot 2", "Bison Meadows Lot 3", "Bison Meadows Lot 4", "Bison Meadows Lot 5", and "Bison Meadows Lot 6"</dd> <dt>Explanation</dt> <dd>It's a best practice in SEO to target each keyword with a single page on your site (sometimes two if you've already achieved high rankings and are seeking a second, indented listing). To prevent engines from potentially seeing a signal that this page is not the intended ranking target and creating additional competition for your page, we suggest staying away from linking internally to another page with the target keyword(s) as the exact anchor text. Note that using modified versions is sometimes fine (for example, if this page targeted the word 'elephants', using 'baby elephants' in anchor text would be just fine).</dd> <dt>Recommendation</dt> <dd>Unless there is intent to rank multiple pages for the target keyword, it may be wise to modify the anchor text of this link so it is not an exact match.</dd> </dl> <a class="more expanded">Minimize</a>

Keyword self cannibalization
Hello, I'm confused about the recommendations for avoiding keyword self cannibalization. I have a niche blog and some of my sticky posts on the homepage contain my site's main keyword in their title. For example, say if my homepage has "dog training" as it's main keyword, then there are going to be links to more longtail pages with titles such as "dog training London", "dog training Liverpool" etc. When I do this SeoMoz's on-page optimization tool tells me that this is keyword self cannibalization. I am building links to the inner pages using the longtail keywords only. 1. Do I need to rename pages with just "london" and "liverpool" etc and remove "dog training" from those links? 2. What is the best thing to do in this situation? Thanks, Kevin

Continuous variation of a keyword
Lords, on a site i have optimization job, a specific keyword, for over 5 months, ranging from 7 to +100 position. One day the keyword is there, beautiful on the first page, and another day disappear. I do not understand why this happens, someone has something happened? I can not stabilize it, and is one of the most important for this client. I live in tension, in the morning the first thing I do is search to see whether the keyword is. Obviously it did in the first 2 months, then relaxed as she always comes back : ) Anyone have any idea what might be happening?
