Keyword explorer
-
Hello,
I was trying the keyword explore and got some questions :
I first used it with all the search terms for the keyword "italy bike tours" and came across terms like this one
"tuscany bike tours florence italy"
- Does it mean I have to include this exact expression in my content or do I just need to include somewhere in my content the words tuscany and florence ?
Then I did the same search but this time with closely related keywords and the keyword explorer give me the word
"pasticceria" or "tirrenia" are being closely related to the keyword italy bike ...
- How does the keyword explorer find those words because I don't see how those can be related...
If someone could explain that would be awesome.
Thank you,

Hello,
Just a disclaimer - I don't speak italian, but do understand some parts.
For the question about non-related kwds...the kw explorer finds these through some algorythms between what people search before/after they search those keywords and what content pages that rank for those keywords have.
For the other question, you need to run a good analysis and create a list with your kwds. Then, make sure to carefully skim through it, assign your own priorities for each kw judging by how important they are for your business (ex if you sell bikes the kw "italy bike tour" or "italy bike rental" might not be important for you at all, but might still be suggested by moz). After doing this, you need to order your kwds by overall priority rating. This will make an average between how hard it is to rank for it, the volume of search that kw has, and your priority rating.
For the very top kwds you absolutely want to include the exact kw string at least once in your content (this can be as an alt tag on an image). For the top 2-3 results you'll want to include those exactly in h1's , titles, meta titles, meta descriptions.
For the rest of the kwds, things like including the work "tuscany" will help, but it won't give you a 90+ rating of "keyword optimisation" on that page. Of course you won't be able to be at 90+ for all kwds, but it's ideal to be there for the most important 5-7 kwds you want to rank for (at first at least).
After you create your campaign you'll be able to check how optimized your page is for each kw.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Optimize homepage for brand-name or local keyword query for franchisees?
We are launching quasi "microsites" for our franchisees within our main company website. My question is wether to optimize the homepage for the franchisee's business name OR a local keyword query? I know standard practice is to optimize the homepage for your company's brand-name, but in this case, brand awareness isn't strong for these new local businesses. Also, apart from the homepage and service page, there is not much room to create optimize content- other pages are simply reviews, projects and a contact us page. Thanks!!

Keyword Stuffing - Ecommerce websites
Hey Mozzers, Im undertaking a content audit and its going very well, we have written some better content for the first set of pages, it still needs some improvement but we have a good base and starting point from which we can make an SEO log and work on it over time. For the content I used the following formula for how many times to include a keyword Word Count / Length of Keyword. (eg. 600 words / 3 word keyword = 200). Then 1-4% of this (2-8 times). This has worked well for me in the past and has been a good base guide. I have ran the pages through Moz optimiser and every single page hit an A for keyword page optimisation. However many of the pages failed on keyword stuffing, which obviously has high priority. My dilemma is that, moz counts 15 as the cut off for keyword stuffing with the written text we have done really well with using it a set number of times. But these pages are product category pages. The keyword in the extreme of cases is listed 7-9 times in the side nav menu. 7-9 times in the product category listings. Take for example *** it is optimised for thermometers (i know it a tough single word keyword, and we have fairly modest aims with it, im using it here for example purposes). The word is used a good number of times within the article but is sent through the roof with the links to the sub categories. This page for example mentions the keyword 30 times. Can anybody suggest any ways to improve on this? Is how we display the categories in the nav bar and in the page excessive? As always many thanks!

Changing business name from keyword to brand name, what are the effects on SEO?
I think it's best to give you an example to illustrate what I'm asking here. Current Brand Name: Keyword Driven Brand Name (keyworddrivenbrandname.com) New brand Name: KDBN (kdbn.com) What will the effects of this change be. I'm slightly worried that we have lots of links with the anchor text "Keyword Driven Brand Name" and we rank very well for terms like "Keyword Driven" and "Brand Name". I guess what I'm asking is, do we need to go and change all those anchors to KDBN and will this upset our search rankings. Or do we leave the existing anchors? But will Google see this as over-optimised anchor text and penalise our website? Decisions decisions! Also, should we leave the old brand name in our title tags, at least for the transitional period, i.e. KDBN | Targeted Keyword | Keyword Driven Brand Name Any help with this would be really appreciated, Many thanks

When to write long content on a general informational keyword: Ecommerce
Hello, Say you sell barbecue grills. When would it be appropriate to write a "Complete guide to Barbecuing" that offers everything: background, recipes, statistics, products, etc? The barbecue niche actually is better suited for a complete guide than my client's niche. My client doesn't sell barbecue grills but he is in a niche that doesn't have hardly any traffic to specific information. He's thinking of writing an article about the most general keyword directly in his niche, "A Complete Guide to X". Right now his Ecommerce home page is on page 17 for this keyword, it's competitive, and last year G Analytics showed 700 page views while on page 17. It would cover a lot more information than the barbecue example with heavy authority as competition. The article would be about 4000 words. There's nothing that complete out there but, again, there's a few very authoritative sources to compete against that we'd never outrank. We'd try to make it best-of-the-web. We're looking to get natural backlinks. We might do outreach but a more specific guide might work better for outreach, which we're also writing. Should he do this as one of his 5 articles for the site?

Local Keyword Searches With Broad Terms.
I am able to do keyword research for any term that I want,. However, I want to see results for broad keywords in local areas.... For example.. Hair cut Miami may get 100 searches a month. How can I find the number (x) of search volume for "Hair Cut" searched within Miami, FL.? If I add the 100 and the other number (x) it may be worth the while to build.
