      I did some keyword research in order to do some onsite optimization on a travel industry-related website.

      I found 2 kinds of relevant keywords:

      • 'flight'-related keywords (e.g.: flight chicago dallas)
      • 'airplane ticket'-related keywords (e.g.: airplane ticket chicago dallas)

      Competition is the same on both but the first ones have more volume. So I'm really tempted to go with the 'flight'-related keywords.

      However the 'airplane ticket'-related keywords also have an interested volume so how should I do my onsite optimization.

      So each one of this solution do you think is the best:

      • creating one page targeting the 'flight' and 'airplane tickets'-related keywords knowing isn't a good practice targeting two different keywords ?
      • creating two different pages (one targeting 'flight' and the other one targeting 'airplane tickets') but it isn't very relevant for visitors since both pages are proposing the same offer? also it might have some duplicate content issue.
      • creating one page targeting 'flight' and forget about 'airplane tickets' and missing some opportunities ?
      • creating one page targeting 'flight' and adding some 'airplane tickets' keywords in content and hoping to get some 'airplane tickets' keywords traffic ?

      Thank you in advance for your feedback and sharing your experience in the same kind of issue.

        Hey Dmitrii,

        I definitely go with your recommandation. it's the most logical way to do in order to maximise visibility on both targeted keywords. thanks a lot for your return 🙂

            Your 1st solution is what I would do, personally.

            An example page title (off the top of my head) could be: "Cheap Airplane Tickets on Chicago Dallas Flights" or something like that. You don't necessarily need the exact query string to rank.

            I would create a really great landing page (with your target keywords), and then create helpful and interesting blog posts that link to it. For example:

            • "What to Expect on Your Flight from Chicago to Dallas"
            • "Do Cheap Airplane Tickets for a Chicago-Dallas Flight Still Exist?"
            • etc.

            I would be careful when creating multiple pages to target specific keywords on each, especially when the keywords and the intention behind them is so similar (people looking for "airplane tickets" are most likely looking for "flights", and vice versa).

              Hello, my friend.

              I say go with with first solution - target both keywords, because they are very much related and you can very much naturally bond them. It's not the best practice if you're trying to target two non-related keywords on the same page, when they shouldn't even be on the same page. In your case it's not an issue whatsoever.

              Cheers.

                Choosing the right keywords when the products are similar

                What keywords should I choose if I have 3 similar products, only the value differs?
                It is recommended to use the same keyword, and change the value? Example: Product 1: $ 100 discount coupon
                Keyword: $ 100 discount coupon Product 2: $ 75 discount coupon
                Keyword:? Product 3: $ 50 discount coupon
                Keyword:? Any advice? Thank you, Sergio K.

                How do I do keyword research when search volume is unknown

                Hi Mozzers! I do a lot of work in niche areas, and one issue I often confront in keyword research is unknown search volume. That is, I'll be doing keyword research in Keyword Explorer or Gooogle Search Console, and for the most relevant keywords, I find either very low search volumes, null search volumes, or "Data not available." How do I make good keyword planning decisions when I can't find good data for search volume? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Andy

                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

                I have two keywords. If I combine them do I get credit for both keywords?

                For example I have a keyword - IPA Beer, and I have a keyword - IPA Beer Kit. If I use the keyword IPA Beer Kit will I get the benefit of the IPA Beer keyword as well as the IPA Beer Kit keyword? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

                The same keyword on multiple pages, but not all (combined with other relevant keywords) for products.

                Hi Guys, I want to get an opinion/advice on this. My client has a site that have all their products (I am working on expanding the product descriptions, benefits and how they differ from each other) listed and I just want to know if I can use the term 'gear oil' for example on multiple pages as one of the keywords. The product range (among others like transmission fluid and anti-freeze) is gear oil (with the different types of gear oils available described) and I can't really change what the product is. I do have different variations (such as gear lubricant, automotive gear lubricant, car gear oil etc.) but will it do damage if I use the same keyword (like gear oil) on multiple pages (along with another relevant keyword that does not involve the words gear oil)? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

                How to finalize the keywords for SEO?

                Hi, I use the following method for keyword research: Create a long raw list of keywords. Use Google AdWords Keyword tool to find monthly searches. Find raw competition. Find direct competition (via allinanchor: search operator) Calculate KEI (Keyword Effectiveness Index) Calculate KOI (Keyword Opportunity Index) Is there any other (better) way to execute the keyword research? Or is finalizing/selecting the keywords only on the basis of monthly searches sufficient? In short, how to select the best keywords from a long list? Thanks & Regards

                Bulk keyword competition tool?

                The SEOmoz Keyword Difficulty tool is great, but the 5 keyword limit is too small. I need a tool that will allow checking the organic competition level of 100's of keywords (to help in selecting blog topics). Anyone know of such a tool?
