      Hi Guys,

      I want to get search volumes for "carpet cleaning" for certain areas in Sydney, Australia.

      I'm using this process:

      • Choose to ‘Search for new keyword and ad group ideas’.
      • Enter the main keywords regarding your product / service
      • Remove any default country targeting
      • Specify your chosen location (s) by targeting specific cities / regions
      • Click to ‘Get ideas’

      The problem is none of the areas, even popular ones (like north sydney, surry hills, newtown, manly) are appearing and Google keyword tool, no matches.

      Is there any other tools or sources of data i can use to get accurate search volumes for these areas?

      Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.

      Cheers

        Of course every single area is not going to be listed so the best way would be to search for the closest nearby city - in this case Sydney and adjust by population,

        So if Sydney had 10,000 searches for carpet cleaning and 20x higher population than Manly then one would assume a search volume around 500. The assumption being that the search will not differ so greatly for towns and cities in close proximity.

        I hope that helps

        Regards

        Nigel

          How do I get into the People Also Ask section?

          Hello there, My client is not appearing in the People Also Ask section on Google for their brand name and I'm not sure why. Can anyone help or explain how you get featured into these snippets? What's weird is when you google their brand name, the People Also Ask section comes up, but they only appear in one question. The other three are from their competitors which is obviously annoying for them. Do you know how to get into the People Also Ask bit? Do I have to markup the page or is it simply based on popular questions and the best answers?

          Large Competitor closed, how to capitalize in search. Any ideas?

          Hey Mozzers, One of our biggest competitors closed down on January 1st, 2020 in several US cities. They did stay open in some areas just FYI. The competitor's website is www.execucar.com. This is a very large company that has a presence in almost all US major airports.  It's a private car service just like Uber but for wealthy individuals. For example. when you search " lax car service" they are  #3 on Google or "car service to lax" they're #2 still. What can we do to get more of their traffic and actual business?  Has anyone done something like this before or knows quick and easy tactics to get their clients?  We have a local landing page: https://dcacar.com/lax-car-service that ranks 9 through 11 for those same keywords. Thanks for your thoughts and time. Davit

          My website (non-adult) is not appearing in Google search results when i have safe search settings on. How can i fix this?

          Hi, I have this issue where my website does not appear in Google search results when i have the safe search settings on. If i turn the safe search settings off, my site appears no problem. I'm guessing Google is categorizing my website as adult, which it definitely is not. Has anyone had this issue before? Or does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
