Keywords used to land on specific page?
-
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there's anywhere where I can see what keywords are used in search engines to land on a specific page? I have access to the Google Analytics account and linked it to Moz as a campaign, but I can't find this data.
I'm curious about this because a very uncommon word is used in a page title for a page I try to optimize. It's the Dutch translation of 'malicious'. And now I wonder if it's better to switch to a word that's used more often. Or if it's better to 'win the battle' on this (probably) rarely used word. I've used Google trends to see how many people use it, but it says there's not enough data to show the interest over time.

Keywords used to land on a specific page refer to the search terms entered by users that direct them to that page through search engine results. These keywords are relevant to the content and purpose of the page, helping users find the information they're seeking and driving targeted traffic to the website. Analyzing these keywords can provide valuable insights for optimizing content and improving search engine visibility.

I've used Google trends to see how many people use it, but it says there's not enough data to show the interest over time.In Google Analytics, you can find the keywords that users use to land on a specific page by navigating to Behavior > Site Content > Landing Pages. Then, select the specific page you're interested in and click on it. Next, click on the "Secondary Dimension" dropdown menu and choose "Traffic Sources" > "Keyword." This will show you the keywords that users used in search engines to land on that page.
Regarding the uncommon word in your page title, it's important to consider both its relevance to your content and its search volume. If the word is highly relevant to your content and your target audience, it might be worth keeping it to attract the right visitors, even if it has lower search volume. However, if there are alternative words with higher search volume that are equally relevant, you could consider optimizing your page title with those keywords to potentially attract more traffic.

@RaoulWB Yes you can check these data in Google search console where you can find the keywords and landing page.

There, you'll see the keywords used to land on your page. As for your uncommon word, it's worth considering the context and audience relevance rather than solely focusing on search volume. If it aligns with your content and goals, winning the battle on the rare word might lead to more targeted traffic and engagement.

What our company did was we created separate pages for every product that we sell.
This way, we can have separate titles, meta titles, meta descriptions, alt-text and content marketing, and also internal links.
We done this for a company that sells garden offices, and it allowed to us improve the SEO for that business.

That makes sense @Nick! Thank you for thinking along!

I was wondering about something similar. In the end I went for the more popular term as my main keyword and kept the other, less used one as my secondary term on the same page.
I found that if Google doesn't have enough data on a keyword, unless it's a very niche and profitable one, I find it's better to use it as a secondary phrase.

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Build pages to target keywords, or audiences, or both?
I'm building a marketing site for a client that does stage lighting design. They also do commissioned artwork installations, interactive design for tradeshows, etc. Because their work spans multiple industries (concerts, performing arts, live television, television advertising), I'm trying to figure out if their content should be targeting the industry, or the actual services they offer. There seems to be enough search volume to target traffic for specific clusters of keywords, but I think it would be a better user experience to tailor pages towards audiences. Should I lean towards creating pages for services offered ,or potential audiences? (A page for lighting design and one for interactive video displays, vs a page for museum directors and one for agencies) Or both? Thanks for any help!!

Homepage ranking above category page, but no keywords in there! Why?
So...we have a 5 year diary product page at TOAD diaries. It's had a lot of on page treatment: keyword in title, alt text, decent copy, pictures of the product etc. Find it here - http://www.toaddiaries.co.uk/shop/5-year-diary So we rank 22nd for 5 year diary, but google sends the customer to the home page! There no mention of 5 year diaries on there. Seems ridiculous! I can't help but think we should rank better for this as it's a low difficulty term (according to keyword difficulty tool on MOZ). Any thoughts on why this might be? Oh, Google HAS indexed the 5 year diary page. Used a search operator to check that first (thanks to you guys on here:) ) Thanks.

Should you use Plural version of a keyword or singular
H If kw research shows that singular version of a keyword has higher search volume than plural version should you still use plural version in main on-page areas to try and catch both instances or focus on the singular ? cheers dan

Multiple silos/products/landing pages. How to design the root page for conversion?
Hi everyone, First post. Tried a few awkward searches on the topic but I must be using bad keywords. I'm re-designing a site that has multiple products and matching multiple audiences. This means we have multiple sillos for multiple groups of keywords with the supporting pages for each silo landing page. Currently I'm working on updating the look and text of those landing pages for each silo to increase conversion. This leaves me with the root web page. We get quite a lot of search traffic from people searching our brand name - so this results in clicks straight through to our root domain. There are no product specific landing pages because it could be any one of the 3-5 different personas we have hitting the site from that source. Does anyone have any good examples of where a site has had multiple products and needed to segregate their audience on a root top page? I'd like to see some examples and hear peoples thoughts. At the moment I'm thinking I need to fill that page up with trust factors as to why people should use us as a company, along with navigational elements in relation to each and every product so they can click through to the proper landing page. The main way I can see on executing that is to have a rotating banner with the same tag line "this is what we do" but be alternating between banners relating to each product.. with their own click through button to go to the respective landing page. Thoughts anyone? Example of sites doing this well?
