Secondary related keywords
-
Hi,
Let' say one of the topics I want to talk about is "wine tasting2. I do a search in the keywords tool and I find related keywords such as "wine tasting chicago" and all the words that I find do not apply to me because I do "wine tastings in Bordeaux". How do I deal in a situation like that ? Can I type in the keyword tool "wine tasting bordeaux" even though my topic is wine tasting ?
I took "wine tasting" but I could apply that to the word "chateaux" where none of the related keywords apply to me. I run into issues when the topics are "large".
The other question I have is still about "wine tasting" if I find secondary related keywords that apply to me such a "wine tasting in bordeaux", "wine tasting cellars" do I still need to add in my content the word "wine tasting" by itself in addition to the 2 related keywords or can I just only put the 2 related keywords ?
Thank you,.

Hello Ruth,
Thank you for your answer about the wine tasting.
I just got a quick question. For an expression like "Sicily bike tours" when you do your related keyword research with keyword explorer do you split the expression by doing a research for "Sicily" and look for related keywords and then you do "bike tours" and look for related keywords
Or
Do you do the entire expression ? Sicily bike tours and look for the related keywords for the entire expression.
Thank you,

Thank you very much Ruth, this is a very helpful answer that answers my question in detail.
Just got one more question. For example if in the keyword explorer I type "south tyrol" and the keyword explorer gives me as a related keywords "südtirol" and "south tyrol villages", which one is best to use ?
Is is best to use the one with the word south tyrol with in (south tyrol villages) even the tough it has a relevance of 2 or südtirol even though it doesn't have the word south tyrol within it but a relevance of 5 ?
Thank you,

"Wine tasting" is a very broad topic. Do a Google search for "wine tasting" in an incognito or private window, and you will see that Google serves up local results for places to go wine tasting in your area, meaning that Google understands the term to have local intent - people who search "wine tasting" are looking for places nearby to go wine tasting.
For a term with local intent, you want to make sure that your Local SEO is strong - that your website clearly says your name, address, and phone number; and that your local listings are claimed using a tool like Moz Local. By targeting the term "wine tasting in Bordeaux," you are effectively targeting the term "wine tasting" for the people you care about. You wouldn't want to rank for "wine tasting Chicago" since people from Chicago won't come to you for wine tasting.
For a very broad term, it's always best to narrow it down to a related keyword. You can certainly look at "wine tasting bordeaux" in the keyword tool and see what comes up. The volume for the keywords will be smaller, but it will be much easier to rank for that term and you will know that people who search for it are the people you want to reach.
If you are targeting a more specific term like "wine tasting cellars," you will also be adding the term "wine tasting" to your page a lot - since you can't say "wine tasting cellars" without saying "wine tasting"! Focus less on using the exact keyword phrase every time, and more on using natural variations of the term. This will make your content look more natural to both users and search engines. If you were writing a page targeting "wine tasting in bordeaux" and "wine tasting cellars," and were just writing about the topic without thinking much about keyword use, you would find yourself using variations of the terms, like "bordeaux wine," "wine cellars, "wine tasting," "wine tasting in southern France," etc. That is an OK thing to do, and even a good thing to do! Google expects to see these types of related term on the page. You just want to make sure you're using your target keywords in prominent places on the page such as your title, heading tags, and in the first few paragraphs, and that you're creating great content on the topic you've chosen.
Think about people who are searching for those terms. What kind of information would they want to see? This might be things like: What time is the tasting room open? What sort of wines can they taste there? Is there a tasting fee? Where is the winery located? What is the best way to get there? Including this sort of information provides a complete answer to their query, which is what Google is looking for.
I hope that is helpful!

Thank you Steve for your answer but I don't see how it answers my questions. Sorry...
Could you develop on it so that I understand what you mean.
Thank you,

Take a look at the search results for some of your target queries. Take the top ranking site URLs and put them into Moz's keyword explorer and use the exact page option.
This will give you a sense of the types of keywords the content showing up for your query may be ranking for and help with your research.

Newbie Keyword optmization question
I'm optimizing this page: http://gainesvilleholistichealthcare.com/treatment-options/acupuncture/ This is for a local, Gainesville, Fl acupuncturist. The words that show the most search volume on GKT for the city of gainesville are "acupuncture" followed by "acupuncture gainesville fl". Will optimizing for "Acupuncture in gainesville" or "Your Gainesville Florida Acupuncture solution" optimize it for both of these important terms? I guess my question really is, how specific does the match between the searcher's phrase and the KW's I use need to be.

Advice - Keywords, good semantic practice...
Hi everyone, I'm still new to SEO so bear with me. I'm fairly ok with what determines good 'On page optimization' grading. Have a few good results but mostly for my ecommerce website. Now I'm building up blog content I'm often puzzled how SEO experts balance good editorial web page titles with how people actually search. An example: Buy Biggie Smalls Versace Sunglasses I have created the page title 'Buy Biggie Smalls Versace Sunglasses - Company' Created a and tag with the same keywords... drop the term a few times on the page, add to a few alt tags, add the term to the url.... but this looks contrived & isn't exactly an exciting web page title which would entice people to click through. Or is it? A more interesting web page title might be something like 'Versace & Biggie Smalls - his influence on a new generation of Hip Hop culture'. Ok this is a completely different long-tail keyword phrase. But do I need to do both? How would a seasoned SEO expert blend the dull search term into some interesting page title and hence all other on page optimization aspects. Hope you get what I'm trying to explain. Thanks for looking... Kevin

Best Keyword Research Tool
Can anyone please recommend the best keyword research tools available, we specialise in the travel industry and struggle to find new keywords as the more niche ones always show no traffic searches in the google keyword tool so it is really difficult to make a judgement. We know from google analytics that some niche keywords really are useless and while they are no. 1 they generate no traffic. I hope you can help Thanks! Andy

Keyword Research (dash or no dash)
I have a client that has been optimizing for "print and apply" for the past 5 months. Yesterday they decided it was more grammatically correct to use "print-and-apply." There question to me was "is this going to effect our SEO?" So... I checked the difficulty using the keyword analysis tool, both keywords had the same broad/exact adwords traffic as well as difficulty percentage. When reviewing the top 25 listings for each keyword it looks like the same sites rank in the SERPs between 1-8 and then after that it is completely different. So, is there a better keyword to target? Are these two keywords different enough to truly have separate search results?

The top 8 results didn't even target "print-and-apply" in there content or title tags... Thanks for the input/discussion - Kyle0
