Keyword Research and Planning Flow
-
Hello,
First post here. I am a IT infrastructure engineer that does application and deployment work mostly, but new to SEO. That being said, I am a firm believer in demming wheel and defined process/flow charts.
I have a website up, built as best practice, its a Magento CE open source Ecommerce store. After some initial research, it seems I really need to define my keywords before I start branding my landing pages and such.
So i am going to have to go back and implement the keywords and evaluate.
But as I am reading it seems most SEO people try their keywords in google ad words first? Then implement?
I am hoping to find some flow or process sheets on how successful Keyword research is done via step by step process and evaluation. And explanations of each.
How many keywords to start with per landing page, how many to try and get in the H1 headers, paragraphs, URL. How long to leave keywords in to test?
Also, I am a start up company that is competing with the big boys in my market space. I know I cant compete for the big keywords in my market? What is my best strategy for getting any kind of ranking as a small business in a global market?
SEO is a mysterious, intriguing thing to me! Very much reminding me of one of my favorite whimsical quotes I will leave you will now, and thanks for reading.

Hi Alex. Today's webinar (http://moz.com/webinars) by Cyrus Shepard is covering this topic very well, although you're going to have to build your own workflow that works best for you. Since the webinar is going on right now (2015-02-10 10:56 Pacific Time) you'll have to wait for it to become available in the previously recorded webinar list. The title is: SEO Basics: The Fundamental Signals Used to Rank Our Content Higher
This along with the beginners guide is going to cover much of your initial steps in SEO: http://moz.com/learn/seo
As for on-page considerations, this is one of the most canonical resources: http://moz.com/learn/seo/on-page-factors. Cheers!

Why does SEO MOZ Pro scan your competitors keyword rankings?
I find the keyword rankings feature of SEOmoz Pro probably it's most useful feature. I was wondering why you can't see your listed competitors stats in comparison?

Avoid Keyword Stuffing in Document
I have been implementing changes to our site outlined by the
Moz Pro | | Confused.com
on-page report tool. One of the most common issues it highlighted with our site
was Avoid Keyword
Stuffing in Document. I have started reducing the number of
keywords on each page so it falls under the recommended 15. So far we haven’t
seen any positive effects from this and i am a little concerned we might be
seeing some negative effect (very early days). Has anyone else implemented this change recently and what effect
did it have? Is this recommendation more in preparation to the up and coming
update from Google that will penalise over optimised sites? Any info much appreciated Jos Davies0 -
Why would the SEOMoz Page analysis pick up exact keywords used in page title and text?
Hi, I am trying to optimise this URL : www.adaptiveconsultancy.com/ecommerce/features/advanced-ecommerce with the keyword being 'advanced ecommerce' With the 'On-Page Report Card' from SEOMoz that the exact keyword isn't featured in the page title or text, but it is in there. Why would this not be picked up? Thank you in advance,
