      Hello,

      How Moz can help me in finding less competitive keywords for a site based on omega masticating juicer. I had tried other tools but i am not satisfied with it.

      Kindly tell me the process to find it. Thanks.

        Optimise your company website for “long tail keywords”- we done this for our company, so for example:
        An example of a long tail keyword is “garden room companies in the city of Bath”- it’s a long tail keywords, yet if your business, sells say summerhouses, and you rank on page one of Google for this, it could improve your SEO.

          @romanjames a bit late but

          1. If I were you, I wouldn't write about a Juicer. It's better to write blogs about a skill or hobby, not a product, so go for juice making, not a juicer cause info type sites do much better than just spammy affiliate type stuff.

          2. If it's a topic you're knowledgeable about and interested in, break it down into the major categories and keep branching down. For example, idk much about juicing (all my gains are natural, pun intended, lol), but I'd probably do something like juicing for beginners, juicer assembly, juicer maintenance, juicer repair. Break the topic down as much as you possibly can. I'm trusting you to know much more about the juicer cause I'm just making this up, idek what the Omega looks like or if there's assembly required.

          Finally, once you have it broken down as much as possible, put the different keywords into Moz and see what you can find.
          Once again, if it's something you're into, I trust that this won't be hard to do, and the more you get into it, the better you become. You'll probably end up coming up with blog title keywords throughout your day every day, almost like it's a curse.
          I be brushing my teeth or commuting to work and suddenly get a juicy idea for a blog post, so I keep my phone and notepad on speed dial at all times cause.

          Remember, keyword tools aren't everything, especially if you're not into the subject. Good luck.

                Hello aspirant! I've got your question. It is pretty simple to find low competitive keywords through Moz.

                Here are the following steps:

                1. Go to Keyword explorer

                2. Enter your competitor's site URL

                3. Now set the keyword Difficulty according to your choice(e.g 15-20)

                This is the most effective method that I have used to find low competition keywords with very high search volume for my  glasvezelbehanger gezocht website.

                I hope now your all confusion is gone.

                Thanks!

                  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.

                  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

                  Bye Bye Keyword Difficulty Tool :(

                  So the Keyword Difficulty Tool will be retired from the end of this month. Is anyone else worried about this? - because I just don't trust the numbers coming back from Keyword Explorer. Never have. I've even raised this with Moz staff previously, when there was a huge difference between the score given by the keyword difficulty tool vs keyword explorer. From what I see in Domain and Page authority and in the SERPs then the score from keyword difficulty tool, was always more accurate, and thankfully have been able to use both tools, but from next month I feel somewhat uneasy about solely relying on the score from Keyword Explorer. Thoughts? and feel free to run your own tests on keywords and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

                  Price Comparison Website And Keywords

                  I run a price comparison website for a small niche at http://cdkeyprices.com I am targeting keywords for the specific products I am comparing the price/merchants on. On a typical page I would have a price column, product name, the merchant and a buy button. Buy button is affiliate linked to the merchant. The product name in the product column is the name from the actual website I am tracking. As such, my keyword was appearing sometimes up the 30 times. I've took it down some months ago but was wondering if this was a bad move. I was concerned Google would think I was stuffing the keyword. I've only just gotten into SEO the past few months so was not able to  see any changes. Should i put the product column back up or would it be considered over optimization?

                  Where to start with keyword research for a telecom company?

                  Hey, I'm a brand's person with no SEO experience, yet I'm in a position where I have to carry out an SEO audit of our telecom company's website. Though our website is up and running for some years now, nobody bothered to undertake keyword research. From the little I've read over months on SEOmoz, I've just done the following: took out keywords bringing organic traffic on to our website and checked our rankings for those keywords on major search engines. My observation is that most of these words are long-tail keywords. Since we only have product/service information related to our offerings, most of the head terms we've used for packages/offers/services pages are branded keywords. My understanding is that we need to rank top for our branded keywords (a must) and try to rank as high as possible for long tail. In addition, we can use those keywords in our copy so that the right page ranks top for the respective keyword. Am I missing anything here? What else do I need to do?

                  Keywords + Country?

                  Hey guys, Let's say that I'm doing on-site SEO for a website that sells football shirts. This website targets 5 different countries. We only have a .com domain and no other country specific domains will be added at this point. When I choose the keywords, do I opt for product name + country or only product name? football shirts france or football shirts? Some info: Countries have been added in the title of the pages. Countries appear in the footer. Thank You.

                  Keyword Research (dash or no dash)

                  I have a client that has been optimizing for "print and apply" for the past 5 months. Yesterday they decided it was more grammatically correct to use "print-and-apply." There question to me was "is this going to effect our SEO?" So... I checked the difficulty using the keyword analysis tool, both keywords had the same broad/exact adwords traffic as well as difficulty percentage. When reviewing the top 25 listings for each keyword it looks like the same sites rank in the SERPs between 1-8 and then after that it is completely different. So, is there a better keyword to target? Are these two keywords different enough to truly have separate search results?
                  The top 8 results didn't even target "print-and-apply" in there content or title tags... Thanks for the input/discussion - Kyle
