How to find keywords in super-small niche?
-
hi
I try to find good keywords to rank a “dog day care” site for and can't seem to find anything that makes sense.
This is a company that sells franchises of their service – dog day care. So there is a “mother site” where they advertise service in general and try to sell franchises.
If you go “pet franchise”; “pet franchises”; “dog day care franchise” etc – you get virtually zero traffic keywords.
On the other hand if I use “doggy day care” it will bring mostly people who are looking for a place to leave their dog for a day. Doesn't make sense either way.
Same goes for local sites. If you look at “doggy day care location” it brings next to nothing. Using “doggy day care” without specific location doesn't make sense either, as certain location applies only to people living in say 50 mile radius.
I would really appreciate any ideas how to approach this. How to promote small “dog day care” franchising company?
And how to promote particular locations?
Thank you in advance,
JJ

I agree that keyword rankings just aren't all that important in the scheme of things. However - if that is what they care about at least that part of your job will be very easy. They will rank - of this there is no doubt.
You are more than welcome for the suggestions - I hope it works out for you (and your client).
Cheers

@Federico Einhorn @DennisSeymour I will try this tool on weekend. I'm using google keyword planner, moz tools, market samurai and other methods. I know semrush as well. The problem is that there seems to be a very limited number of searches for this niche keywords, regardless which tool you use. @ Billy Jefferson Yes, that was exactly my suggestion. It's comforting to see that someone actually confirms it. The problem is that they seem to be obsessed with “keyword rankings” which in this case is secondary in my opinion. I want to target “dog blogs” in certain areas and use FB advertising to target people who have/like dogs and live in areas of our interest. Suggestion about “kennels” and especially partnering with local hotels was something I haven't thought about before. Thank you for your help Regards, JJ

You might consider going a bit more broad with terms like "franchise opportunities" etc.... I believe that your more long tail terms are going to be so niche that although they will drive more relevant traffic, they aren't going to drive much of it at all but pairing these with more broad (yet still relevant terms) should at least get the ball rolling.
Something like this is probably going to do better with more direct advertising as well - ads on pet specific websites, veterinarian websites and maybe some start up type or entrepreneur blogs...
These super niche sites can be far more difficult to drive relevant traffic to than websites in super competitive markets but you can do it. It will take some out-of-the-box thinking
For the local sites I would concentrate more on 'kennel' terms than 'day care' terms but again - ads on local vet websites etc... would be your best bet - even partnering with local hotels that don't allow pets and get them to advertise the kennel on their hotel websites would probably be a great idea.
Good luck.

Ubersuggest and Keyword Researcher can help with getting keywords from Google instant. You could try Adwords and see there. You could try to find competitors as well, and use Semrush.

Different URL (not homepage) showing up for main keyword
Hello, When we search for 'boutique hotels' the following URL appears on first page in Google UK: https://www.i-escape.com/united-kingdom/boutique-hotels While we're pleased to be ranking on first page, I was wondering why it hasn't picked up our homepage, as it has for our competitors. Does this simply mean Google deems this page more worthy of first page SERPs? Thanks again for your help Moz community!

Does adding relevant keywords to social postings help with SEO?
I was doing some research on social postings and SEO and couldn't really find the answer to my question. Would adding in SEO keywords help with my site's relevancy or would it just help boost my site because of backlinking? For example if I were to add a new Facebook post "Check out these great new blue widgets " help more than "Check out these new products "? Thanks!

Where can I find a list of the top DA websites on the web?
I'd like to find a ranking of the top DA websites on the web. I'm mostly interested in US websites. I'd like at least the top 10,000 or so but the more the better. Is there a way to get this data from OpenSiteExplorer or another source? The closest I've found is Double Click's listing of the top 1000 most_visited_ (not DA) websites: http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/ Thanks!

Finding links online that already exist as link juice based on search results
I'm curious about this, I can't find anything on the net that talks about it. I wrote an article about it on squidoo and have had no responses so I am thinking this is very rare subject. The question is I have done some backlink research with my competitors with linkdetective.com and found many links (even follow ones) related to sites that provide search results. Here are a link about what I am talking about as an example, I have found many more besides this one. http://search.lphant.com/es/webResults.html?q=free%20scrabble%20dictionary&hl=en&page=1&src=hmp_es&ref=1 My site appears in those results. When looking at the source there is no "nofollow". I found this page because linkdetective.com had this link listed pointing to my competitor. Are these valid backlinks? What I have been doing is adding these links to http://www.google.com/addurl so that Google knows about them. Is there something I am missing or are these valid?

No Follow Blogs. Do they help with keyword density?
I know no follow blogs don't pass page rank or link juice, but do they aid in help with making your site know for a specific keyword when you use anchor text?
