      Sitting in Country A I want to see how much traffic a particular keyword receives in Country B. Whats the best way to do it?

      Also, will the search results differ if I am analyzing the above sitting in Country A viz-a-viz Country B. In other words, will the IP of the country I am making the search from play a role in the results?

        The easiest way is as Patrick states below.  Use www.semrush.com.  They scrape the data from search analytics anyway and then put it in an easy format for us!

        You can get some free searches on Semrush before they close you out. So make sure you change the search to the right country before you press enter. I think semrush is gold. It should be the easy solution.

          Hi there

          You can do this by filtering countries in your Search Analytics in Google Search Console. While it doesn't give you an exact number traffic wise, it does give clicks and impressions, and can give you a general idea of what's happening.

          In Analytics you can goto Audience > Campaigns > Organic Keywords. Change Primary Dimension to Landing Page and change your Secondary Dimension to Country. You can couple this information you got from Search Console and line up to see performance.
          Also, SEMRush has the capabilities of breaking down historic keyword data by country. It will give you your rankings as well as your estimated traffic for that keyword (as no one can give you EXACT data). This is also especially useful if you do international SEO and want to check on other competitors as well.

          Hope this helps! Good luck!

            How does Yoast SEO premium determine prominent keywords?

            We are perplexed how Yoast determines which keywords to select on the page when ranking the top 5 prominent words in Insights. For example, we have a page where birthday parties is clearly the primary keyword. It is used an an H2, in body copy and tagged on images. Yet it does not show up at all. The term 20 Fiesta game points ranks #1. It is mentioned one time on the page in a bullet within one of 5-6 blocks. 40 Fiesta game points ranks 3rd and same situation. Waterpark ranks 4th and is mentioned twice on the page as a bullet of featured activities. But there ar 4-5 other attractions listed in the bullets higher?  We have looked as tutorial videos and no one mentions how Yoast determines prominent keywords. Thanks in advance for steering us in the right direction.

            How ot optimise a website for competitive keywords?

            Hi guys, I hope to find some good answers to my questions, because here are some of the best SEO's in the world. I'm doing SEO as a hobby for a few years and had some very good results before the latest Google updates. Now I'm not able to rank any website for competitive keywords. The last project I started is this website (man and van hire company targeting London market).
            The problem is that I can't rank even in Top 100 in Google UK for the main keywords like: "man and van london" , "man and van service london" ,"london man & van"...
            The site has over 1k good backlinks (according to Ahrefs), unique content, titles and descriptions but still can't rank well. Am i missing something? Few years back that was more than enough to rank well in Google.
            I will be very grateful to hear your suggestions and opinions.

            "Null" appearing as top keyword in "Content Keywords" under Google index in Google Search Console

            Hi, "Null" is appearing as top keyword in Google search console > Google Index > Content Keywords for our site http://goo.gl/cKaQ4K . We do not use "null" as keyword on site. We are not able to find why Google is treating "null" as a keyword for our site. Is anyone facing such issue. Thanks & Regards

            No matter what the keyword, only the homepage shows in the SERP

            Hi, wondered if someone could help. My clients website shows up well for terms but its always the homepage rather than the targeted landing page. For example, if you search for "teeth whitening anglesey" they appear http://goo.gl/ohJdua however, its the homepage rather than the tooth whitening page http://goo.gl/uVI8gK Thanks Ade

            How to combine 2 pages (same domain) that rank for same keyword?

            Hi Mozzers, A quick question.  In the last few months I have noticed that for a number of keywords I am having 2 different pages on my domain show up in the SERP.  Always right next to each other (for example, position #7 and #8 or #3 and #4).  So in the SERP it looks something like: www.mycompetition1.com www.mycompetition2.com www.mywebsite.com/page1.html
            4) www.mywebsite.com**/page2.html**
            5) www.mycompetition3.com Now, I actually need both pages since the content on both pages is different - but on the same topic.  Both pages have links to them, but page1.html always tends to have more.  So, what is the best practice to tell Google that I only want 1 page to rank?  Of course, the idea is that by combining the SEO Juice of both pages, I can push my way up to position 2 or 1. Does anybody have any experience in this?  Any advice is much appreciated.

            Two Webstites Targeting the Same Keywords

            If I aquire a website in the same industry targeting the same keywords. Should I merge them into one? I understand it's a bad idea to have multiple websites promoting the same thing, but i'd like to capture the customer base of a competing website. What's everyone's thoughts? A- Merge new to main website with 301's? will google like that? B- Keep them separate? Will google like that? C- Don't bother. D- Toss the computer and get into Horticulture
