Number of keywords for single page website
-
Hello, i have a question about keywords in Single page website. For how many keywords should i focus in single page website? For example: In my industry are important 2 different keywords - cabinet making and **made to measure furniture. **Should i focus on both keywords or its better to pick better keyword and focus only for that one (of course including different forms of that word and so on). Thank you for help.

You can optimize and create your landing page content however you see fit. If you want to optimize the content for more than one keyword, go ahead! The most important thing to remember is not to overstuff your content with keywords—but utilizing multiple keywords can definitely help this.
Before focusing on very specific keywords that you think are the most important for the industry, make sure that these are the keywords that people are actually searching. You should be writing content that attracts and helps users. You need to write for what they want to hear, not necessarily what you want to share.

Hi Reyzer,
The pointers below should give you an indication of how to go about this and further dilemmas of keyword targeting:
What does your customer expect to see?
Do customers have the same intent when they search for the ‘cabinet making’ and ‘made to measure furniture’? If ‘cabinet making’ and ‘made to measure furniture’ are just different ways of phrasing the same thing – stick them on the same page.
What do you offer as a business?
Do both of the terms accurately describe your service or do you have two different services for each of them? It would make no sense to have separate pages for the service, but it could be worth having different pages for various features/benefits of the service.
Take a look at Wistia ( https://wistia.com/product/marketing-automation) and how they talk about the same product on different pages by highlighting different benefits and in this way targeting different user needs/intents.
What does Google expect to see?
At a high level, you can often determine how to group your keywords simply by looking at a competitor's menu structure and major categories.
You can also check whether there is a cross-over between the top 10 URLs that appear for your terms. For your terms, there is not a single URL crossover amongst top ten search results.
Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions and best of luck!

Keyword strategies are quite in-depth when you get started so it's good to know from the outset, what you are trying to promote from that page.
From your examples, both phrases give a very different set of results, so I would be looking to create 2 different pages for these. However, you will need to do some research on how to make these pages more targeted for Google.
For example, for Made to measure furniture, I would be looking to add keywords and phrases that you know Google associates with them, such as:
- We make it to order
- Furniture we make to order
- Custom made furniture
- Bespoke furniture
- Contemporary furniture maker
- Bespoke solid wood furniture
- Bespoke fitted furniture
Depending on the pages you are looking to promote, you could add some of these as headings or talk more about them as part of the page content.
But as always with keywords, make sure it all makes sense and don't just drop keywords and phrases into a page without giving them a reason to be there.
Such a big subject, but I hope this helps a little.

Hi Reyzer,
Though in theory, Gaston Riera's response is correct that you really can't determine the number of keywords on your page, it's up to Google / search engines to decide what keywords they find your page useful to rank.
The main criteria for the keywords that would actually remain the same overall, so you need to be careful about optimizing the page for too many keywords.
You can read about the best on-page SEO factors that determine the possible rankings for keywords on this link : https://moz.com/learn/seo/on-page-factors
I hope this helps, feel free to respond if you have further questions.

Hi there,
There is no exact rule in this subjet. A single page is elegible to rank for thousands of keywords.
Having more than one main keyword for a single page makes it more difficult to Google to decide on which to rank better.That said, lets get to business. For me the best and optimal solution is to have different pages for keywords that are different. So that you can fully optimize every page for just one main keyword.
In your case i'd have these two pages:Then every page can also be target of further optinizations for long tails keywords of the main keyword.
Hope I've helped.
GR.

Relevant but not-relevant keywords impact to SEO
Hello, I would like to know if the selection of individual keywords(that are not primary, secondary or tertiary) are important for SEO regardless of the relevancy to the page topic. I am wondering how much of a contribution a non-P1/P2/P3 can make in terms of SEO? For example it is a product page and I have built my content with P1,P2&P3 based only on the product and its properties itself. Do you think that a content gap for the page could be the production process of that product? So even if it is a product and its properties page, I can add 2 sentences about the production, so that I can drive more traffic by including these 2 informative sentences.? EXAMPLE:
Keyword Research | | Siir
So lets' say my topic is "hair types" (P1) and my subtopics are "Straight," "wavy," and "curly"(P2s) which I used as subtitles. But throughout the page, I am planning to add some relevant but not-directly-relevant keywords here and there since they have high metrics and volumes. For example a potential sentence I can add: "innovative hair products these days can offer amazing results for the desired hair types". It is not specifically about "hair types" but I am using the keyword "innovative hair products" (good metrics keyword) which may help for the traffic... Another potential not-so-direct sentence can be: "For all hair types, the hair damages are common: heat damage, chemical damage and mechanical damage". Would adding this extra sentence where I am not specifically talking about "hair types" (my topic) but "hair damages" and damage examples (off-topic high metric keywords) help me to drive traffic to my website? And how much of an impact would it be?0 -

Keyword Plan Of Attack
We have looked up our direct competitor to see what keywords they rank #1 for (aside from their own company name). We have narrowed it down to 3 that we want to focus on. Our plan is to build internal landing pages, external landing pages and beef up our content. Is that a good strategy to start or are we missing something?

Spammy Industry Keyword Research
Hi everyone, First question posted on here. I have spent a lot time this week going through videos and discussions since I signed up here earlier this week. We're just starting in a particular niche that is powerful (home-based businesses), but EXTREMELY spammy with all the at-home opportunities from stuffing envelopes, to MLM, etc. Then there's the other side which is not as spammy, but just not an overall good business model with the in-home Tupperware, candle, and makeup party sales companies. The people that we help and serve are just people who want to start up a part-time or full-time home-based business doing what they love. Maybe it's a dad who loves golf and would like to start a golf store on Ebay or a lady who is great at making stuff and wants to open an Etsy shop or start selling her goods at craft fairs. Our program is more about teaching them how to start a real home-based business that can either earn them a profit either part-time or fulltime while also doing what they love and spending time with their family. My biggest question right now as we begin the Keyword Research and SEO process part of this, is how do we go about doing the keyword research for this while also dealing with a spammy niche? All the research I've been doing for home-based businesses comes back to all the ugly examples I gave above and that isn't the type of people that we're a good fit for. I appreciate all your help and guidance in advance. Been doing web development for 10+ years but finally taking the tiger by the throat and actually learning the SEO/SEM piece myself.
