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!

Yes it will... As your long tail keywords also include short tail keywords in it. So yes you will get the credit for the same.

Combining two keywords in your content can potentially help you rank for both keywords, but it's not guaranteed. Search engines like Google analyze various factors to determine the relevance and authority of your content for specific keywords. Here are some steps you can take to optimize your content for multiple keywords:
Conduct Keyword Research: Identify relevant keywords that your target audience is searching for. Look for keywords with high search volume and low competition.
Create High-Quality Content: Develop informative and engaging content that incorporates your target keywords naturally. Ensure that your content provides value to your audience and addresses their needs or interests.
Use Keywords Strategically: Place your target keywords strategically throughout your content, including in the title, headings, meta tags, and body text. Avoid keyword stuffing, as this can negatively impact your rankings.
Optimize for User Intent: Consider the intent behind each keyword and tailor your content to meet the needs of users searching for those keywords. Provide helpful information, answer questions, and offer solutions to their problems.
Monitor Performance: Track the performance of your content using analytics tools to see how it ranks for your target keywords. Make adjustments as needed to improve your rankings over time.
While combining two keywords in your content can potentially help you rank for both, it's essential to focus on providing high-quality, relevant content that meets the needs of your audience. By following these best practices, you can increase your chances of ranking well for multiple keywords and driving organic traffic to your we

Yes, I will get credit in both targeted keywords, which will help rank those keywords as well.
With this practice, search bots could find more prefixes and suffix keywords. And increase the possibility of search engines.

Hello guys, I'm a Junior SEO Specialist. can i ask, my keyword 1 is seo specialist, then on my services page the keyword 2 is Seo expert., is this cannibalization? this is my website. help pls https://denzelsalazar.pinoyseo.ph/

I depends on Search Intent what people are searching like if you Search for SEO Expert or SEO Expert in Pakistan Both of these page have different intent.
So only using keywords does not fullfill it. -

Of course!When you use the “IPA Beer Kit” keyword, you can get the benefit of both the “IPA Beer” and “IPA Beer Kit” keywords. This is because "IPA Beer Kit" includes the keyword "IPA Beer" as part of it. So by optimizing for “IPA Beer Kit,” you are also covering the “IPA Beer” keyword. I hope this clears up your doubts!

Hi Friends.
I had a question
I want to put two keywords on one page in Google, is it possible?
that page is : https://rayanita.com/website/marketplace
Thank you for your guidance -
When you say 'get credit' you mean, found in search?
By putting the two keywords together you will get found for both. It's a clever way of getting more information in the title.
So if someone searches: "IPA Beer" you have a good chance of being found. If someone searches 'IPA Beer Kit' that will be found also.
If it was me I would probably use: 'IPA Beer Kits' as more people will search the plural.
For goodness sake don't go away and create two pages. Especially if all the information should be combined on one page.
So don't have a page for 'IPA Beer' and another 'IPA Beer Kit, because you run the risk of being found for neither.

Nigel

Thank you very much Gaston. This helps a lot!

Hi there!
No, you will not have the benefit of both keywords.
In the case that you focus on **IPA beer kit, **Asuming that you rank really well for that search it is possible that you also rank well for the inner keyword: IPA beer.
Please keep in mind that Google advised not to create as many pages as keywords you want to target.
Hope it helps.
Best luck.
GR.

How many keywords do you recommend tracking?
I am working through thousands of organic keywords and would like to create a list of core keywords. I want the list to be small enough that we can really go after these keywords and track progress. I work for a B2B software company. I am thinking between 20-30 but I would love to hear any tips, opinions and recommendations! Thank you!

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!

Keyword research tools
So I went to a panel a while back that said Wordtracker is basically useless. I'm not using it as an end-all, be-all, but more for insights and context. Do you agree with that statement? The hosting company provides a keyword research tool, so I wasn't sure how seriously to take it. Have you guys been using Bing for the search data previously provided by Google's Keyword Research Tool? Do you find that to be a viable resource? Thanks.

Longtail keyword definition seems fuzzy?
So we all know about longtail keyword vs. short tail. However, it seems that the definition is a bit inconsistant. Some people say longtail keywords are keywords that get very low amounts of traffic, others that they are key phrases with 2 or more words. And others add to this that they have high conversion rate but describe specific features, product, service, model # etc. In an ideal model I suppose all of these things would be true. As keyword length increases, traffic tends to decrease, keyword is more specific pointing at features, model#, specific product etc and therefore the conversion rate is a bit higher as well. However, the data isn't a perfect curve. I will see keywords that get 18,000 searches but have 4 words. And then I will see single word key phrases that get <10 -20 searches a month. What am I to consider these? Its like they fit half the criteria. Any comments on this would be helpful and appreciated. I suppose the real question I am after is - it seems like the real definition of a long tail keyword cant be any of the above traits of a long tail keyword. How do you really define a long tail keyword in all circumstances (without it being this subjective idealized definition based on a perfect model) and where would the keyword circumstances (lots of words but high traffic, and low traffic but 1 word) fall in the graph? Center?

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?

Help finding some decent keywords
Anyone care to help a SEO Newbie find a couple of key words that would be easier to rank for for my website that provides kayak fishing information? mysite: yakangler.com The key words that I've identified are as follows: best kayak

fishing from a kayak
fishing kayak review
fishing kayaks
kayak and fishing
kayak fishing
kayak for fishing
kayak reviews
kayak rigging
kayak weight limit
kayaks fishing
kayaks for fishing But I'm worried I'm missing the point, I don't see hardly any traffic from most of these. I've really tried to rank for "kayak fishing" but seem to be totally lost in the Google Panda abyss. Any advice on a different word or strategy would be greatly appreciated!0 -
Adding qualifiers to keywords?
I know that it's worth adding qualifiers to high value keywords to create long-tail variations which will later have the potential to rank well for the main keyword as well... My questions is, how important is it that the newly-formed keyword/phrase also be evaluated for search volume? E.g. "tips for job interviews" has a high search volume, but scores 72 in the Keyword Difficulty tool - quite high. I would therefore be tempted to create a "10 tips for job interviews" articles or something similar, yet THIS particular phrase is searched for <10 times per month... If there are not any easy-to-find qualifiers that also create a well-searched for keyword/phrase, is it still worth adding them?
