      Hello,

      How Moz can help me in finding less competitive keywords for a site based on omega masticating juicer. I had tried other tools but i am not satisfied with it.

      Kindly tell me the process to find it. Thanks.

        Optimise your company website for “long tail keywords”- we done this for our company, so for example:
        An example of a long tail keyword is “garden room companies in the city of Bath”- it’s a long tail keywords, yet if your business, sells say summerhouses, and you rank on page one of Google for this, it could improve your SEO.

          @romanjames a bit late but

          1. If I were you, I wouldn't write about a Juicer. It's better to write blogs about a skill or hobby, not a product, so go for juice making, not a juicer cause info type sites do much better than just spammy affiliate type stuff.

          2. If it's a topic you're knowledgeable about and interested in, break it down into the major categories and keep branching down. For example, idk much about juicing (all my gains are natural, pun intended, lol), but I'd probably do something like juicing for beginners, juicer assembly, juicer maintenance, juicer repair. Break the topic down as much as you possibly can. I'm trusting you to know much more about the juicer cause I'm just making this up, idek what the Omega looks like or if there's assembly required.

          Finally, once you have it broken down as much as possible, put the different keywords into Moz and see what you can find.
          Once again, if it's something you're into, I trust that this won't be hard to do, and the more you get into it, the better you become. You'll probably end up coming up with blog title keywords throughout your day every day, almost like it's a curse.
          I be brushing my teeth or commuting to work and suddenly get a juicy idea for a blog post, so I keep my phone and notepad on speed dial at all times cause.

          Remember, keyword tools aren't everything, especially if you're not into the subject. Good luck.

                Hello aspirant! I've got your question. It is pretty simple to find low competitive keywords through Moz.

                Here are the following steps:

                1. Go to Keyword explorer

                2. Enter your competitor's site URL

                3. Now set the keyword Difficulty according to your choice(e.g 15-20)

                This is the most effective method that I have used to find low competition keywords with very high search volume for my  glasvezelbehanger gezocht website.

                I hope now your all confusion is gone.

                Thanks!

                  Minor languages keyword research

                  Hello, I am in charge of doing a keyword research for several small countries in Europe, namely Hungary, Estonia and Latvia.
                  I normally use the Keyword planner for Google Ads, but for Hungarian, Estonian and Latvian this tools seems to find no results for the keywords related to my websites. For example, in Hungarian the keyword "ajak toltoanyagok" ("lip fillers" in English) doesn't give any results (and yes, I am targeting my searches to Hungary and Hungarian). I have the same problems with Latvian and Estonian. Is there another tool that I could use and that could give me better results? Help! Cheers Luca rONwtZt

                  Which keyword to use (plural / singular)

                  Hi guys. So I'm racking my brain with a question whether I should use plural or singular keyword as a focus keyphrase of my page. The page that I'm optimizing is basically a review page of different websites offering proofreading services. Considering the fact that this is a review and I mention a lot of websites on my page, I decided to rank for a plural keyword that ends with "services". However, this keyword is very unpopular (ahrefs doesn't show any volume for it), while singular "service" has about 100 searches per month. As far as I understand, Google sees both keywords as synonyms, because search results for both keywords are almost identical. Should I change my keyphrase to singular "service" (even though the page mentions a lot of services), or stick with "services" instead? Do I have a chance of ranking for "service" if I stick with "services" in this case? Thank you.

                  Keywords with no search volume

                  Hi there! What are your thoughts on optimizing pages for keywords that have no search volume (using the Keyword Planner)? I'm not sure it should be done, since optimizing for keywords that no one searches for is kind of useless, right? Or should I do it hoping that sometime in the future the keyword will have a surge on searches? Thanks!

                  Why does this keyword have much greater volume in Bing Keyword Research Tool than Google AdWords Keyword Planner?

                  I'm using the Google AdWords keyword planner and Bing Webmaster Keyword Research tool. For both, I'm trying to get accurate search volume for the exact term "advertising sales". Over the last thirty days, Bing reports a volume of  5,988. Google's average monthly search volume is 880. Given the market share Google has, I would expect a much higher volume, especially when compared to Bing. Can you offer some ideas of why this might be happening?

                  Where can I find data on growth in individual keyword search terms, over tiime?

                  I am operating in an emerging market, and want to understand the underlying growth in the relevant Google keyword search terms. I can use this as a proxy for market growth. I have checked out Google Trends, but this confusingly shows peak search volumes (out of 100) not search volumes. Are there any better tools out there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

                  Help finding some decent keywords

                  Anyone care to help a SEO Newbie find a couple of key words that would be easier to rank for for my website that provides kayak fishing information? mysite: yakangler.com The key words that I've identified are as follows: best kayak   
                  fishing from a kayak
                  fishing kayak review
                  fishing kayaks   
                  kayak and fishing
                  kayak fishing   
                  kayak for fishing   
                  kayak reviews   
                  kayak rigging
                  kayak weight limit   
                  kayaks fishing   
                  kayaks for fishing But I'm worried I'm missing the point, I don't see hardly any traffic from most of these. I've really tried to rank for "kayak fishing" but seem to be totally lost in the Google Panda abyss. Any advice on a different word or strategy would be greatly appreciated!

                  How do you optimize for compound keywords

                  What is the best way to handle keywords like "switchplate covers"? The key word may be seen as either a 2 or 3 word phrase, depending how you handle the compound term: "switch plate" or "switchplate" In google KW it shows different results for switch plate vs switchplate as well as using cover vs covers. I've tried using all the variations in my descriptions, titles and H2s  but I think this is diluting them all.  Can anyone show me best practice guidelenes or examples of good solutions to these kinds of compound key words? Thanks Handcrafter
