Keyword Optimization for 2 Brands
-
We carry two brands, Buick & GMC. All of the most trafficked keywords that I'm finding in my research are structured like this:
buick denver
buick service
gmc denver
gmc service
How should I approach this situation so that I'm optimizing for both brands?

Thanks so much Alan, time to work
-
Take your top keyword phrase for each brand - that's the focus of the home page. Branch out from there.
-
Ah, but after thinking about this for a little bit, what should I do for the homepage? I'll still have the dedicated separation for individual brands, but how to focus the homepage?
Thanks

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the reply. I get what you're saying -- will definitely be more work but I know that the results will pay off in the long run.
Now to brainstorm the best way to make this happen within our framework...
Cheers,
Kyle

Topical separation is vital. I'd suggest having two sections of the site - one devoted to Buick and one to GMC. Each would then have a series of pages within that section devoted to that brand, and where you implement section level navigation - so that each page within that section has a sub-navigation component linking to each other page within that section. Aim inbound links to the top level page within each section as a primary task, and individual pages within each section as a secondary task.

Disparity between new and old keyword planner
Hi everyone! While performing keyword research using both Google's old and new Keyword Planner, I've noticed a disparity between the two tools. In many cases, the old tool gives a much larger monthly search volume than the new tool. There are a few cases where both tools provide the same monthly search volume for a term, but those are few and far between. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance!

Ignore keywords that have no data in the Google Keyword Tool?
Hello, There are some keywords that have no monthly search data in the Google Keyword Tool. In many cases, this is because there have been very few searches for the keyword. Would you recommend focusing on other keywords that do have search data in the Google Keyword Tool? Perhaps focusing too far out on the long tail of search results can be less productive than focusing on keywords that have proven that at least some people care about them. What do you think? Thanks!

Optimizing for Local Terms
I am just building my website and planning keyword strategy for my pages. How much is too much in terms of optimizing locally? So if I want "web design firm birmingham al," is it overkill to add that in the URL slug, title tag, essentially all the on-page optimization? /web-design-firm-birmingham-al much uglier than web-design-firm Obviously, would prefer to think big and believe it can go beyond one city to compete in other markets statewide or regionally, thus, optimizing for one city is too narrow (and there's the ugly url thing). I'm working on offsite local optimization, so I'm thinking this will not be necessary. Thoughts?
