Titles tags: Smart to split brand name composed of multiple keywords?
-
Hello,
We've been following the best practices outlined in this Moz article for title tags for a long time, however I have a question about the spelling of the brand name when the brand name is composed of keywords.
For example, let's say your company is called FitnessGearUSA and your website url is www.FitnessGearUSA.com.
How would you spell the brand name in the title tag? In a single word 'FitnessGearUSA' or in 3 words 'Fitness Gear USA'.
We've been using the first approach for a long time, but I am starting to think that the second approach would be better, especially when the customer might include a single keyword that's part of the brane name in his search
For example, a product page title tag would then look like this:
Model ABC Weight Lifting Bar | Fitness Gear USAI am inclined to think that this page would rank better for a search like:
"Model ABC Lifting Bar USA"Thoughts?

I'm inclined to stick with branding so all one word.
However, what would affect this decision is search data. Go into search console or connect search console to analytics.
Look in the search terms panel. Are people typing it as one word or separate words. Often it's best to display what people expect to see. That improves CTR

Trouble making up a keyword map
I’m starting my first blog and I’m in the phase of making a keyword map. Now I’m not sure about how it done and if it is done right. I would be thankfull if you’d be so kind to check it out and tell me if it’s good or not and what should change. PM me if you wanna help me, I'll send out the excel file. P.S.S.: For those who help out, don’t mind the almost empty transactional column, ignore that, just advice on how it is ordered.

Keyword targeting & differentiation between similar keywords
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around keyword targeting when two keywords are very similar. Here's my dilemma, lets just I sell ACE brand Widgets I'm doing well with “ACE Widgets” queries but not “ACE” How do I fix this since “ACE” is already all throughout the results page & supposedly anchor text is playing a less and less significant role in link relevancy so just getting links with “ACE” as the anchor text wouldn't really help (I wouldn't think) Just a little confused. Thanks

Meta tags - better NOT to have?
OK ok . . . the SEOMox report card told me it's actually better NOT to have meta tag keywords on my page, because my competitors can then look at my page to see what words I am trying to target . . . That makes since, but is also painfully counter intuitive. I thought I would just double check and make sure . .. NO META TAGS KEYWORDS? and if so . . .. what (if anything) should I have in the meta tags?
