      Hi Guys,

      I want to get search volumes for "carpet cleaning" for certain areas in Sydney, Australia.

      I'm using this process:

      • Choose to ‘Search for new keyword and ad group ideas’.
      • Enter the main keywords regarding your product / service
      • Remove any default country targeting
      • Specify your chosen location (s) by targeting specific cities / regions
      • Click to ‘Get ideas’

      The problem is none of the areas, even popular ones (like north sydney, surry hills, newtown, manly) are appearing and Google keyword tool, no matches.

      Is there any other tools or sources of data i can use to get accurate search volumes for these areas?

      Any recommendations would be very much appreciated.

      Cheers

        Of course every single area is not going to be listed so the best way would be to search for the closest nearby city - in this case Sydney and adjust by population,

        So if Sydney had 10,000 searches for carpet cleaning and 20x higher population than Manly then one would assume a search volume around 500. The assumption being that the search will not differ so greatly for towns and cities in close proximity.

        I hope that helps

        Regards

        Nigel

          Local SEO - ranking the same page for multiple locations

          Hi everyone, I am aware that issue of local SEO has been approached numerous times, but the situation that I'm dealing with is slightly different, so I'd love to receive your expert advice. I'm running the website of a property management company which services multiple locations (www.homevault.com). From our local offices in the city center, we also service neighboring towns and communities ( ex: we have an office in Charlotte NC, from which we service Charlotte plus a dozen other towns nearby). We wanted to avoid creating dozens of extra local service pages, particularly since our offers are identical per metropolitan area and we're talking of 20-30 additional local pages for each area. Instead, we decided to create local service pages only for the main locations. Needless to say, we're now ranking for the main locations, but we're missing on all searches for property management in neighboring towns (we're doing good on searches such as 'charlotte property management', but we're practically invisible for 'davidson property management', although we're searvicing that area as well). What we've done so far to try and fix the situation: 1. The current location pages do include descriptions of areas that we serve. 2. We've included 1-2 keywords for the sattelite locations in the main location pages, but we're nowhere near the optimization needed to rank for local searches in neighboring towns (ie, some main local service pages rank on pages 2-4 for sattelite towns, so not good enough). 3. We've included the searviced areas in our local GMBs, directories, social media profiles etc. None of these solutions appear to work great. Should I go ahead and create the classic local pages for each and every town and optimize them on those particular keywords, even if the offer is practically the same, and the number of pages risks going out of control? Any other better ideas? Many thanks in advance!

          How old is 404 data from Google Search Console?

          I was wondering how old the 404 data from Google Search Console actually is? Does anyone know over what kind of timespan their site 404s data is compiled over? How long do the 404s tend to take to disappear from the Google Search Console, once they are fixed?

          How to get sitelinks in organic SERPs?

          When searching for "Madrid hotels" in google I see that the top organic search results have one row of sitelinks. 
          What can I do that also my site shows sitelinks if I am among the top organic search results?
          Anything onpage that I can do to increase probability that google will show sitelinks? Strangely the text which shows as sitelink for SERPs from booking.com and tripadvisor does actually for most of the sitelinks not appear on the landing page (I also checked the source code).

          Getting Pages Requiring Login Indexed

          Somehow certain newspapers' webpages show up in the index but require login. My client has a whole section of the site that requires a login (registration is free), and we'd love to get that content indexed. The developer offered to remove the login requirement for specific user agents (eg Googlebot, et al.). I am afraid this might get us penalized. Any insight?
