One page for each keyword?
-
Hi guys
Im little lost here and someone may help me.
I want to top rank for these 3 keywords bellow:
medical practice solution
medical practice software
medical practice systemFor instance, if I put all of them on the main page title it will become weird. If I try to use all of them sometimes inside the page content it also be weird.
So, in cases like this, I should create one landing page for each keyword to be sure that I'll use it enough and be better ranked?
Thanks in advance. Best regards.

This is a huge topic.
If I was going to attack this... I would consider that you are talking about one variety of "PMS" or a "practice mangement software". These are available for physicians, dentists, attorneys, accountants and many other types of professionals. There are also management systems for blue collar industries.
For this project my primary keyword would be "Medical practice management software" and then "system" or "solution" can be used as an add-on.
A content attack on this could begin with an in-depth article of a few thousand words with photos, illustrations and art that depict screenshots, document samples, flow charts, data entry devices, portable data entry stations, etc. Think about some of the awesome posts that you see on the moz.com blog or a big wikipedia article.
The typical PMS has many different abilities that are often sold as modules. Their functions include appointment scheduling, insurance submission, billing, patient record management and many other facets. Each of these many functions could be another page optimized for longer tail keywords that each have very monetizable search volume such as "medical billing software" and "patient record management system".
Data entry devices and mobile data entry units can be several more content pages, each with substantive text, photos, screenshots and more. Then there are decisions about having the software on a server in your office or a web-based solution. Each has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of how you pay for it, updates, security and the types of equipment that is needed for your office - plus the level of on-site expertise that will be needed.
Most people are trying to attack this, what might be a billion dollar industry, by tossing pages at it. I would attack this niche with an entire website full of this stuff along with comparison charts of competing products and vendors. The company who is willing to invest a thousand person hours into a website like this... and then dedicates a good person to spend 1/2 of her/his time on keeping it updated could haul in buckets of dough.... and when they are finished with the physican's part they move right into the dental PMS market using the same template.

Agree with this, Those are all variations that you would likely consider your "primary" keyword target. Although making separate pages with unique content will probably help you out short term, it is a near sighted strategy. A) Google is getting smarter and wants to display results for synonymous terms or for different search queries that have the same intent. B) Three pages means watered down link equity and page value.
I would however do some keyword research to pick which of the above has the most search volume and make that keyword the primary target of the page. Then, interchange the synonymous terms where it makes sense like AutoBoof said!

AutoBoof is absolutely correct in this situation.
It is very dangerous from an SEO perspective to attempt to craft content for individual phrases that are so interchangeable, especially in the past couple years. While other sites may sometimes still get away with it, I get new clients routinely these days where they went that route and got penalized manually for on-site over-optimization.

I would not recommend creating multiple pages for each, that would cause duplicate content issues. I would try to use all three interchangeably on one landing page so the one page ranks for all three.
You only want separate pages if the keywords are different enough to warrant new and different content. These are too similar for this and would cause a usability issue if you wrote unique content for each one.

Singular and Plural Noun Keywords
Hi everyone Extremely love this community, learning a lot day by day! I am currently in the process of writing a blog post and say for example I am targetting the keyword 'apple' and 'apples'. My current word count of the article is 850 words and I have used 'Apple' 15 times and 'Apples' 26 times. 1 .Is my Keyword density too high and will Google look at this as keyword stuffing? 2. Do I have to target each Singular and Plural keyword individually? Or will targetting 'Apple' will also automatically target 'Apples' for me and vice versa? Thanks in advance!

How to optimize home page for several keywords
My issue is this. I'm getting a lot of "F" grades for certain keywords to my homepage using MOZ. the thing is I can't add to many keywords to title tag without going over 65 characters. It seems the title tag is most important and even though i have keywords in content and everything else, without title tag keyword its useless. can creating more than one title tag help or will that make things worse with search engines?

How to Choose the Best Keywords for a Website
I am working with an insurance agency that wants to target the below types of insurance in Dalton GA, Ringold GA, Chattanooga TN and and/or Georgia. Home Insurance
Keyword Research | | lagunaitech
Auto Insurance
Health Insurance
Life Insurance
Restaurant Insurance
Contractor Insurance They are a new agency that doesn't have a website yet and only a small online marketing budget. Right now, I'm starting to work with them on their new site and want to make sure the on-site SEO works with the insurance/locations they want to target. What I'm having trouble with is the volume of monthly searches and trying to find keywords that they could realistically get some traffic and leads from. Most of the keywords I check with the Adwords tool are less than 50 exact match searches or just show a dash. The only keywords with a decent amount of exact searches are the main insurance types like "restaurant insurance" or "home insurance Georgia". How can I get an idea of the number of leads and amount of traffic this site might get when most of the keywords searched for only a handful of times per month? I can build the site to easily target all the above types of insurance in Dalton, GA, which has a population of about 33,000, but I don't know what kind of results this agency might expect if they were to rank in the top 3 spots. Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice!0 -
Influencing which page google chooses as the authority for a certain keyword
I have spent the last year optimizing my site for a specific keyword that I believed would do well with respect to conversions. The good news is that my efforts have somewhat succeed. I am now ranking second for a pretty popular keyword, and this effort has definitely increased my traffic. The bad news is that the target page that shows up for the optimized keywords isn't really the authoritative page on my site for the given keywords. As a result, it is my belief that my bounce rate is increasing and my conversions are decreasing. To be more specific, let's say I have optimized my site for the keywords "cool widgets". On my site, I am referencing "cool widgets" in key areas such as title, meta keywords etc. I am referencing the above both on my homepage as well as the cool-widgets page. So, http://www.mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com both contain pretty heavy optimization for "cool widgets". When a user searches "cool widgets", google is displaying mysite.com - however, i'd like it to display mysite.com/cool-widgets like all my competitors. Is there any advice or light the community can shed on how I might go about correcting this issue? I don't think I want to de-optimize my home page, as I am afraid I might lose that position and not have it replaced with the more relevant target page. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Roy

How do I find traffic for local keywords?
We're having trouble finding reliable traffic numbers for long-tail local keywords (ex. - "computer repair green bay"). We tried using Google Insights but it doesn't display long-tail keyword information, only broad keyword keywords searched for in a certain locale. We also tried using Wordtracker, but that hasn't been too reliable either. Is there a single tool that provides real traffic for local long-tail keywords?

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
