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.

What do you do with indexed pages that you can't find any keywords for?
You know those pages that you really need to have for your site that most people get to through the nav bar or maybe internal linking, but never through organic search? The ones where you can't find any applicable keywords with volume or even just a keyword with no volume data that just shows up in the Google autocomplete or People Also Search For. What's the better option? just not optimize the page for any keywords at all, but have Title Tag/Meta Description optimized for CTR just in case OR optimize the page for a very loosely applicable keyword even though it's a a bit of stretch or longshot

Keyword inside keyword
Hi, I'm a newb and I'm trying to wrap my head around how this keyword thing works. Let's say I find these KWs as part of my research: Acupuncture Acupuncture Clinics Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Florida Does optimizing for Acupuncture Clinics in Gainesville Florida optimize me for all the other terms as well? And furthermore, might I appear for searches like these too: Acupuncture Florida Acupuncture Gainesviile Acupuncture clinics Fl Thanks a bunch!

Google and connector words
Hello and straight to the point, How does google treat connector words (the, in, on etc) in relation to keywords ? For example if people are searching for "hardware sydney" but the content on the page uses the phrase "hardware in sydney" does this make a difference to the way Google views the page content? Cheers David.

Two for the price of one: Can I rank for multiple keywords when only targeting one keyword?
If I'm optimizing for a specific keyword, is it accurate to assume that by ranking for that specific keyword that I will also be able to rank for similar or root keywords merely by ranking for the original keyword? For example, if I'm targeting 'free online bucket list' is it safe to assume that I will also be able to inadvertently rank for 'online bucket list' or 'free bucket list'? Can I assure clients of this? Or if I'm targeting 'Colorado grocery store' should I also naturally rank for 'grocery store Colorado' and not need to make both of these my targeted keywords?
