Unsolved Good PA/DA...no keywords after 6 months
-
I've been doing SEO on a clients site, for a back page for 6 months now. Good amount of backlinks, has a PA/DA of 34/32, it's indexed by Google (via Console)...but it's not getting picked up for a single keyword (same in Ahrefs).
Haven't had this happen before, what am I missing?

@amitydigital https://www.goodwintx.com/what-does-an-hoa-management-company-do/ is the link. I have several keywords in there that I am targeting that aren't easy to rank for, but normally (every other page/site I've worked on) I would get all of the other random words getting picked up. I'm getting 0 after 6 months.
This is an older site that I just added as a client, so there could be an overall SEO issue that I am not aware of. The homepage and all other pages however are ranking well and getting picked up for random keywords.

I have been doing the same thing, and not getting on the first page of the SERP, for reference I am attaching the website link: https://www.greendecore.co.uk

I am assuming you checked the basics like whether or not the page was set to noindex (unlikely if it's indexed in search console) or blocked by robots.txt. Is the back page related to the same content that the rest of the site is about? PA/DA don't really mean anything, they are just best guesses as to how Google might see the page. It's really hard to know what is going on without way more information like the URL and what keywords you are trying to rank for.

Unsolved Make Moz reindex the pages for keywords
Hi Moz says we're 18th for a phrase but that's for the page /himonsia-generators because that was the highest ranking page. If you search now for "heavy range generators" we're jumping between 10-12th position but it's for the page /products/generators - which is correct. How can I make Moz "Reindex" the pages?

Unsolved how to deal with bad keywords?
In the rush to get our account set up and running our team added about 250+ keywords. Many are really close duplicates or a close rephrasing of the same idea. I'd say almost 100 of them fit into this category. Does it make sense to just leave these and continue to add better keywords or should we do some purging? Help!

Ways to Identify Popular Search Terms
Certain searches seem intuitively like they would be popular, but don't appear so in my keyword research on Moz Pro. For example, I am a therapist and would have guessed that a lot of people would be searching for "online therapy California" during this pandemic, but actually those terms are not popular. I looked at Google Trends to see if I could understand this better, but It wasn't very helpful. Any other suggestions for where to get more information when search terms you would expect to be high volume don't appear to be so?

How to Incorporate Awkward Keyword Phrases
Certain keywords are good choices for my website (high CTR, low difficulty, high volume), but they would be very awkward to use in my website content. For example, "therapist near me" is a popular search term, but it would be very strange for me to use those words in that order in my content (I am a therapist). Any thoughts about this are welcome.

Keyword Explorer for Domains shows #51+ for high Ranking Keywords
I have noticed in the past month(s) or so that when I delve into a domain to see what it ranks for, many keywords are listed as #51+ and they clearly rank high for them. Is this a bug? Or is there some other explanation? It makes it difficult to show prospects their current standings. 383540c2-352f-4aac-8c6c-e715e8b4038d-image.png
