I have two keywords. If I combine them do I get credit for both keywords?

For example I have a keyword - IPA Beer, and I have a keyword - IPA Beer Kit. If I use the keyword IPA Beer Kit will I get the benefit of the IPA Beer keyword as well as the IPA Beer Kit keyword? Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes it will... As your long tail keywords also include short tail keywords in it. So yes you will get the credit for the same.

Combining two keywords in your content can potentially help you rank for both keywords, but it's not guaranteed. Search engines like Google analyze various factors to determine the relevance and authority of your content for specific keywords. Here are some steps you can take to optimize your content for multiple keywords:
Conduct Keyword Research: Identify relevant keywords that your target audience is searching for. Look for keywords with high search volume and low competition.
Create High-Quality Content: Develop informative and engaging content that incorporates your target keywords naturally. Ensure that your content provides value to your audience and addresses their needs or interests.
Use Keywords Strategically: Place your target keywords strategically throughout your content, including in the title, headings, meta tags, and body text. Avoid keyword stuffing, as this can negatively impact your rankings.
Optimize for User Intent: Consider the intent behind each keyword and tailor your content to meet the needs of users searching for those keywords. Provide helpful information, answer questions, and offer solutions to their problems.
Monitor Performance: Track the performance of your content using analytics tools to see how it ranks for your target keywords. Make adjustments as needed to improve your rankings over time.
While combining two keywords in your content can potentially help you rank for both, it's essential to focus on providing high-quality, relevant content that meets the needs of your audience. By following these best practices, you can increase your chances of ranking well for multiple keywords and driving organic traffic to your we

Yes, I will get credit in both targeted keywords, which will help rank those keywords as well.
With this practice, search bots could find more prefixes and suffix keywords. And increase the possibility of search engines.

Hello guys, I'm a Junior SEO Specialist. can i ask, my keyword 1 is seo specialist, then on my services page the keyword 2 is Seo expert., is this cannibalization? this is my website. help pls https://denzelsalazar.pinoyseo.ph/

I depends on Search Intent what people are searching like if you Search for SEO Expert or SEO Expert in Pakistan Both of these page have different intent.
So only using keywords does not fullfill it. -

Of course!When you use the “IPA Beer Kit” keyword, you can get the benefit of both the “IPA Beer” and “IPA Beer Kit” keywords. This is because "IPA Beer Kit" includes the keyword "IPA Beer" as part of it. So by optimizing for “IPA Beer Kit,” you are also covering the “IPA Beer” keyword. I hope this clears up your doubts!

Hi Friends.
I had a question
I want to put two keywords on one page in Google, is it possible?
that page is : https://rayanita.com/website/marketplace
Thank you for your guidance -
When you say 'get credit' you mean, found in search?
By putting the two keywords together you will get found for both. It's a clever way of getting more information in the title.
So if someone searches: "IPA Beer" you have a good chance of being found. If someone searches 'IPA Beer Kit' that will be found also.
If it was me I would probably use: 'IPA Beer Kits' as more people will search the plural.
For goodness sake don't go away and create two pages. Especially if all the information should be combined on one page.
So don't have a page for 'IPA Beer' and another 'IPA Beer Kit, because you run the risk of being found for neither.

Thank you very much Gaston. This helps a lot!

Hi there!
No, you will not have the benefit of both keywords.
In the case that you focus on **IPA beer kit, **Asuming that you rank really well for that search it is possible that you also rank well for the inner keyword: IPA beer.
Please keep in mind that Google advised not to create as many pages as keywords you want to target.
Hope it helps.
Best luck.
GR.

Include Location in Keywords?
I understand Google's local search automatically searches keywords with the location you are searching from. For example if I'm searching from Calgary and query "best shoe repair", Google knows I'm searching from Calgary and presents Calgary based results. I'm using Google's new Keyword Planner tool which allows for city based search results, meaning I don't have to include "Calgary" in the keywords I submit. The question I have is should I be attaching "Calgary" to my keywords for on-page optimization, and why or why not? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Keyword Conundrum...
I have 3 keywords that I am targeting. Assume for the time being that they are all equally competitive. Includes local exact match monthly searches: Managed IT Services - 3600 IT Managed Services - 720 Managed IT Support - 170 They are all exactly synonymous, not to mention other keywords such as IT Managed Support, Managed IT Service, IT Managed Service, Managed IT Service Provider, etc.. My current strategy is to target the top 3 all on one page. The problem then is the title tag: Managed IT Services | IT Managed Services | Managed IT Support Pretty spammy. I could build pages for all 3, but how would I incorporate them into the website since they are all synonyms. Can I get some recommendations on how to handle this? What would you use for a title tag? How would handle separate pages with synonymous content?

Adding qualifiers to keywords?
I know that it's worth adding qualifiers to high value keywords to create long-tail variations which will later have the potential to rank well for the main keyword as well... My questions is, how important is it that the newly-formed keyword/phrase also be evaluated for search volume? E.g. "tips for job interviews" has a high search volume, but scores 72 in the Keyword Difficulty tool - quite high. I would therefore be tempted to create a "10 tips for job interviews" articles or something similar, yet THIS particular phrase is searched for <10 times per month... If there are not any easy-to-find qualifiers that also create a well-searched for keyword/phrase, is it still worth adding them?

How do you optimize for compound keywords
What is the best way to handle keywords like "switchplate covers"? The key word may be seen as either a 2 or 3 word phrase, depending how you handle the compound term: "switch plate" or "switchplate" In google KW it shows different results for switch plate vs switchplate as well as using cover vs covers. I've tried using all the variations in my descriptions, titles and H2s but I think this is diluting them all. Can anyone show me best practice guidelenes or examples of good solutions to these kinds of compound key words? Thanks Handcrafter

Is "in" a keyword differentiator?
Does google view phrases with "in" in then as different keywords than the same phrase without an "in"? For example: is "great restaurants in chicago" the same keyword as "great restaurants chicago"? Whenever I do research on two phrases like this, they always come up with the same search volume.

Keyword Traffic Estimator Tools
Hello, I'm relatively new to SEO and looking to find a good tool for estimating the search traffic volume of different keywords in order to focus efforts on higher yielding terms. Right now I'm using Google's traffic estimator but it doesn't seem to have much data for long-tail keywords. Is anything else out there better or more accurate? Thank you!
