    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.

              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.

                    Regards

                    Nigel

                    Kind Regards

                        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.

                          Like others, I have also been oblivious to the options which were uncovered in this article, using stars or underscores to uncover more keywords suggestions. However, I am trying to find a way to avoid the manual labour. Did any of you find a successful tool that automatically adds all the possible combinations of these wildcards to give a comprehensive lists of suggestions? I am looking for a tool that also included my country (.nl).

                          Setting Up a Keyword Matrix

                          Greetings MOZ community!! My real estate web site contains about 500 pages with perhaps 70 pages targeting low volume, somewhat valuable but not very competitive keywords. Three to four URLs target very competitive terms. The following  terms are among the most valuable: New York City office space,
                          New York office space,
                          Manhattan office space,
                          NYC office space Such variants as: Office space in New York City,
                          Office space in New York,
                          Office space in Manhattan,
                          Office space in NYC
                          ETCETERA convert really well How would I match different terms to different URLs? For example I have just re-written the following two critical URLs: www.nyc-officespace-leader.com (home page)
                          http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/commercial-space/office-space (product page) Would it make sense to use "Manhattan office space" and variants on the home page while excluding "New York City office space" variants? At the same time I would use "New York City office space" variants on the "office-space" product page while excluding all mention of "Manhattan office space". Is this logical and does it conform to SEO best practices? For the "NYC office space" terms I would add them to http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/listings. This URL has almost no text but a strong potential to rent because of a high number of incoming internal links. Is this approach sensible? In general what measures should I take to prevent URLs from competing for the same keywords? Also, is there a software package or tools that I can use to come up with keyword variants? As a non SEO professional, can I create my own keyword matrix or is this really in the realm of a professional SEO consultant? Thanks, Alan

                          How to get search volume in Google's keyword planner

                          I want to know the search volume for ~1000 keywords that I discovered via ubersuggest. Yesterday I could have done this in 5 minutes, but I can't seem to get it to work in the new Google tool and would love some advice. When I either upload or copy and paste my list into the tool I can get it to give me search ideas with volume, but it has all the keywords I am uploading as 0 search volume (when I know that is not true and some of them have thousands of searches).  I've tried "entering keywords to see how they perform" and also "searching for keyword ideas" (the second just because the first didn't try after my 10 tries) Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?
                          Or is this a bug other people have been experiencing?

                          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!

                          I've been tasked with finding the keywords for our website.  The difficulty I'm finding is receiving help from the fabrication personal to suggest keywords.  I'm not sure if its peoples imagination or if there's a general unwillingness. Can anyone make any suggestions here?  Is there a fabrication or welding keyword database I can put to them and hopefully get their brains working? Or even a way to see what keywords our competitors use?

                          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.
