      New to this so bear with,

      I am a TV aerial, satellite, CCTV, Door entry, Access Control, Telephone repair engineer.

      I have one seperate page for each of the installations I carry out as well as the basic home, about, areas, faqs and so on.

      My question is do i have one key phrase for each of the services  i cover or do i just relate all the keywords from that service into the keywords tag

      ie, META name=keywords content="Digial aerials Stockport,digital aerials Manchester,aerials Stockport,aerials Manchester,aerial repairs Stockport,aerial repairs Manchester,digital,aerial,tv,tv aerials Manchester,tv aerials Stockport,arials,arial,aerial installer,aerial installations,aeril installation,Stockport,Manchester ,">

      That is what i have fro Tv aerial installation,

      Should i make landing pages for each phrase for each service or stick to one page?

      www.redvalecommunications.co.uk is the site if you want to take a look

      thanks in advance

        Hey Steve,

        As Ryan mentioned the keyword meta tag is no longer used for ranking purposes. Here's a great Google Webmaster Post and video with Mat Cutts that covers this topic.

        As for your keywords I would stick to 2 or 3 per page so that the page is targeted and tightly themed. If you try to optimize your pages for too many keywords the content will likely start to become diluted and less valuable from a search engines perspective. To answer your second question more directly it would be ideal to have individual pages that target a single keyword, however I would only recommend this if you have quality content to support each of the keywords. Otherwise, your pages will have a difficult time ranking.

        Something to note is that a few of your keywords are multi-purpose. In other words, if you optimize one of your pages for "digital aerials stockport" you will naturally be optimizing for "aerials stockport" as this keyword is contained within "digital aerials stockport." Just something to think about 🙂

        If you're looking for some tips on keyword research check out this section of the SEOmoz Beginners Guide to SEO.

        Hopefully this helps - good luck!

          The keywords meta tag is deprecated and not used by any of the major search engines, so don't even worry about that.

          As for a general strategy you should focus on a keyword or two for each page and optimize for that. When you link internally in your site, use the keywords your optimizing for in the anchor text. When acquiring external links try to do this as much as possible. Don't cannibalize yourself by trying to optimize for the same keyword across all your pages.

          I wouldn't worry about making landing pages in order to get them ranked - thats what your main pages are for. Use landing pages to test out what converts best with A/B testing, and as end points for your PPC campaigns.

            Inconsistent Keyword Search Volume & Difficulty Across Tools (e.g., Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, Semrush)

            keyword difficulty keyword explorer

            Hi there, Moz Community! I'm reaching out for some guidance on keyword research discrepancies. I'm currently targeting the keyword "sui gas bill" for my blog, sngplbill, which focuses on information related to Sui gas bills. I've used several keyword research tools, including Moz, Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Semrush, and each platform provides different search volume and keyword difficulty scores: Moz: No search volume data, Keyword Difficulty (KD) 24
            Google Keyword Planner: Search volume 100k-1M, Difficulty (Low)
            Semrush: Search volume 90k, KD 31
            Ahrefs: KD 1 (Very Easy)
            These varying results are causing some confusion. Ideally, I'd like to understand which platform offers the most reliable data for search volume and keyword difficulty. Here are some additional details that might be helpful: My target location: Pakistan My Questions: What factors might contribute to these discrepancies in keyword data across different tools?
            Considering my niche (Sui gas bill information in Pakistan), which platform would you recommend for the most accurate search volume and keyword difficulty estimates?
            Are there any additional factors to consider beyond search volume and keyword difficulty when selecting keywords for content strategy?
            Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

            Business Naming Standards

            keyword namingstandard

            I have a client whose business name can be abbreviated. In the previous version of the website they referenced all 3 naming standards. We are in the process of setting up a new website and my question is - do we use one name throughout the website or incorporate the other abbreviations to catch all options?

            How do I do keyword research when search volume is unknown

            Hi Mozzers! I do a lot of work in niche areas, and one issue I often confront in keyword research is unknown search volume. That is, I'll be doing keyword research in Keyword Explorer or Gooogle Search Console, and for the most relevant keywords, I find either very low search volumes, null search volumes, or "Data not available." How do I make good keyword planning decisions when I can't find good data for search volume? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Andy

            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!

            Precise or longer title for service page?

            i am a little confused as to how should i create my META TITLE and on page h1 title
            for a service page... Say that page offers "web marketing" service... i know or think i know that precise title ranks higher  
            on the search results but its less appealing Meta title example:
            web marketing | company name On page title:
            Web marketing Now, the more compelling title would be of-course longer but less focused 1. Do you think i can test it without hurting my positions permanently?
                       i have query (i see the stats on Google webmaster tools) that 
                       i get 20,000 views monthly but only 1% clicks... 2. how would you build a title for such a page (meta and onpage)? Would really appreciate your professional view Best regards, Sagive SEO.

            Keyword Conundrum...

            I have 3 keywords that I am targeting. Assume for the time being that they are all equally competitive. Includes local exact match monthly searches: Managed IT Services - 3600 IT Managed Services - 720 Managed IT Support - 170 They are all exactly synonymous, not to mention other keywords such as IT Managed Support, Managed IT Service, IT Managed Service, Managed IT Service Provider, etc..  My current strategy is to target the top 3 all on one page. The problem then is the title tag: Managed IT Services | IT Managed Services | Managed IT Support Pretty spammy. I could build pages for all 3, but how would I incorporate them into the website since they are all synonyms. Can I get some recommendations on how to handle this? What would you use for a title tag? How would handle separate pages with synonymous content?

            How do you optimize for compound keywords

            What is the best way to handle keywords like "switchplate covers"? The key word may be seen as either a 2 or 3 word phrase, depending how you handle the compound term: "switch plate" or "switchplate" In google KW it shows different results for switch plate vs switchplate as well as using cover vs covers. I've tried using all the variations in my descriptions, titles and H2s  but I think this is diluting them all.  Can anyone show me best practice guidelenes or examples of good solutions to these kinds of compound key words? Thanks Handcrafter
