Keywords with a city suffix
-
Hi Pros,
Here is our question / dilemma...
Context/Background
_Our company has 41 offices around the US and Europe; _
_We (our SEO) teams results are based on someone in a specific postcode/zipcode opening Chrome/IE/FF and searching using Google/Bing/Yahoo _
_(keyword) + (city) _
i.e. Ice cream Manhattan or Computer services Manhattan
Our methodology is - (a) Choose an office (zipcode), identify the territory city names required for that Office's SEO goals. (b) begin to develop the strategy and execute (c) wait 1-2 months and test
Question
Using SEOmoz we are not sure HOW we could even begin to track the keywords?
-
I have to agree. I really like BrightLocal
-
Given that the SEOMoz tool doesn't offer the capability to do local search tracking, you may want to seriously consider BrightLocal, Mark. It's a terrific tool and the subscriptions are really affordable, even for the large number of locals you'd need to track. (No affiliation, just like the tool).
Does that look like it might do what you need?
Paul
P.S. Whitespark also has a local rank tracker that looks terrific, but it isn't currently accepting subscribers
-
That is a great question! We do not display or have a way to display location based info, only universal organic results. We do, however, hope to add this functionality in the near future.
-
but what happens when we have
"ice cream warren" where WARREN the city is located in several states.
the tools will find non-relevant results correct.
is there a means to simulate the results from a zip-code or location or is everything National?
-
You know what keywords you are targeting. At first, create you kw inventory off these. Once you get some data (in analytics), add the KW's people use to get to the site to your inventory.

How to use the Basic SERP to figure out what keywords to target
I'm looking at the SERP report trying to figure out what keywords I should try to rank for and I am having difficulty understanding if I could be competitive in the space. For example I have a new website that has a PA1 and DA1 rank I plan on developing great content and then working on securing quality backlinks for that content. In order to start this process I'm doing my keyword research and I am finding keywords, both short and longtail that I would like to target via Google Keyword Planner. I'm punching them in to see the competition and SERP. This is where I fall short. How do I use this information to identify or rule out what to pursue. I guess I am looking for some criteria or guide to help me begin to figure out or filter out what is the best keyword to pursue that will give me the best odds of success. If anyone can help me I would be eternally greatfull. We are a small company (startup) and it is up to me to make this work. YES - I have read everything that I can find - guides, and I have not run accross an answer. Thanks in advance

Branded keywords
I'm trying to understand this concept a little further. Say if I create a branded keyword, "dc widgets" I then start to add keywords such as "maker" "toy" and apply the branded keyword to it. Does this mean that they then become "maker dc widgets" and "toy dc widgets" ? What purpose does branded keywords offer?

Is there a way to export to csv the report of keyword difficulty tool?
I'm using it to create reportes on multiple keywords and I don't see an export/download button.I see that when one keyword only is searched for, you can export the serp results. I am asking about searching multiple keywords and then exporting them all with their scores.

Whats the best way to research website relevant keywords
I wanted to know the general practices SEO marketers use when initially researching and revisiting relevant keywords for a website. I use this process Brain storm a list of keywords, between me and the client Check out competitors websites & SERP's look at Google adwords traffic analyser ( mostly as a point of reference and for increased ideas) How do others do it? what process do you find works - i'm based in the Uk would be great to get a UK perspective. Obviously you can't optimise for all keywords in your list how best is it to decide on the best value or less competitive keywords? I struggle to get stats for local keywords( not enough search data) - most my clients are local businesses and have limited surrounding service areas. thanks

Keyword Difficulty Tool Problems?
I was just using the keyword difficulty tool and for some reason, some of the keywords show "not enough data"...I'm not sure why this is the case because a few days ago, there was data... Anyway, is this because it take time for the tool to gather data each month, or is it because there's an issue with the GoogleAPI? Thanks a lot for your help!

Capitalisation of campaign keywords - why does this affect traffic but not rankings?
Having accidentaly entered keywords into my campaign with both upper-case initial letters ("Product Design") and lower-case initial letters ("product design") I find that the rankings are, as expected, identical. However, the traffic generated by the keywords is markedly different. Does this mean that the two versions of the keyword should be treated like totally seperate keywords in future? Indeed, should I be entering all variants of capitalisation into future keyword campaigns (such as "product Design" and "Product design") if I wish to get the full picture in future? Any answers would be welcome. David in Scotland

Started my first campaign - keyword rankings do not match
Hello, I started my first campaign on SEOmoz and my keword position do not match the results I receive by using google search or by using another SEO program. For example - Ingersoll Watches should be on position 6 on google.com - SEOmoz shows me Ingersoll Watches is on 16. Why does SEOmoz show different results? Thank you for your attention!
