How does Google Tell which are the keywords you're targetting?
-
Hi!
I've quite a number of synonyms and common related keywords and i know that it needs to be only at one page instead of many different pages.
The keywords are: delivery service singapore, delivery service, singapore delivery service and delivery service in singapore.
Do i need to have an exact variations of each in the content of the page so that google will know i want to target for these keywords. Because i'm trying to make my page to receive an A grade for all these keywords in a page? Do i need to split the keywords into 2 different page to achieve that goal?
Thanks!

don't just think broad vs exact match, also think synonyms and tenses. and don't write for seo write for the user, if it reads weird then don't do it, or make it fit as well as you can like "We operate the best delivery service singapore has to offer."
research your keywords very well to make sure your main targeted and secondary ones are truly the ones people are searching for most. best delivery service singapore seems like too long tail just based on intuition, you may be able to rank well for it, but if no one is searching for it you'll get no traffic

True! Why didn't i think about that.... Thanks!
But my best keyword that i'm banging on is "delivery service singapore" which is quite incoherent if i use title:"best delivery service singapore" as it is grammatically not right?
Any thoughts on that?

Bingo, yes - this is good advice!

First off, don't split them up on different pages. They are very relevant to each other.
What I'd do is target the main keyword in the title tag. Maybe something like "Best Delivery Service in Singapore." I'd also reflect his keyword in the H1 of the page. From there you could use a variation in one of the h2's on the page, and just synonyms in other h2's.
You could do something like:
title: Best Delivery Service in Singapore
H1: Delivery Service in Singapore
H2: Why Choose Our Singapore Delivery Service
H2: Some Variation of Keyword
H2: Some Other Variation
Also, don't worry about the letter grades. An "A" doesn't guarantee top rankings. Aim for an "A" with the main keyword, and "A" or "B" with the variations.

Documenting keyword research results
I really struggle to document my keyword research results in a usable way. I know the strategy for finding keywords but I wonder if there's a spreadsheet template or some guidance on the process that could help me organise things better

Keywords. Who to trust.
Hello, I'm baby and family photographer. I have done my keyword research. Used Keyword tool. According to the research tool it says that highest local search traffic for baby market would be keywords like cute babies, baby pictures. I asked many of my clients what they would enter in search box if they were to look for baby photographer. Pretty much everyone has said that there would be some form of photographer word in search term with baby word. So like baby photographer, photographers, baby photo studio etc. Unfortunately these type of terms are under 10 searches per month. I have only two relevant pages to target these baby keywords. I'm really wondering who actually uses terms like cute babies, baby pictures. I have a feeling that those searches are made by like photo agencies, newspapers, stock libraries etc. I don't think mum who looks for photographer is suing these search terms. When you do your research, do you take in account metrics or go by more human element and try to look at it from clients perspective. What they would be searching for? Thank you guys, Just don't want to mess up with this and make sure I do the right thing.

Keyword variations
I have a question about keyword variations. To be specific, let's say "blue upside down cars" has low competition but fairly low traffic. However, the shortened variation "upside down cars" has low competition but extremely high traffic. Can I double my bet by going ahead and using "blue upside down cars" whereby in some instances Google would refer traffic based on the entire keyword, but it would also refer traffic based on the the last part of the keyword which has the higher traffic ("upside down cars"). In this case, we would optimize around "blue upside down cars" with hopes of getting traffic for both keywords (the long tail and longer tail). Is there any reason not to pursue this strategy? I hope I made sense!
