Relevant but not-relevant keywords impact to SEO
-
Hello, I would like to know if the selection of individual keywords(that are not primary, secondary or tertiary) are important for SEO regardless of the relevancy to the page topic. I am wondering how much of a contribution a non-P1/P2/P3 can make in terms of SEO?
For example it is a product page and I have built my content with P1,P2&P3 based only on the product and its properties itself. Do you think that a content gap for the page could be the production process of that product? So even if it is a product and its properties page, I can add 2 sentences about the production, so that I can drive more traffic by including these 2 informative sentences.?
EXAMPLE:
So lets' say my topic is "hair types" (P1) and my subtopics are "Straight," "wavy," and "curly"(P2s) which I used as subtitles. But throughout the page, I am planning to add some relevant but not-directly-relevant keywords here and there since they have high metrics and volumes. For example a potential sentence I can add: "innovative hair products these days can offer amazing results for the desired hair types". It is not specifically about "hair types" but I am using the keyword "innovative hair products" (good metrics keyword) which may help for the traffic... Another potential not-so-direct sentence can be: "For all hair types, the hair damages are common: heat damage, chemical damage and mechanical damage". Would adding this extra sentence where I am not specifically talking about "hair types" (my topic) but "hair damages" and damage examples (off-topic high metric keywords) help me to drive traffic to my website? And how much of an impact would it be? -
@George_Inoriseo Thank you so much for the detailed reply. It makes sense! Appreciate the help!

@Siir Selecting and integrating individual keywords that are not directly categorized as primary, secondary, or tertiary can still be important for SEO, particularly if they maintain relevance to the topic of the page. These keywords can contribute significantly to driving additional traffic, especially when they tap into related interests or queries that your target audience might have.
In your example, the inclusion of terms like “innovative hair products” or “hair damages” on a page primarily about hair types can indeed be beneficial for several reasons:
Topic Depth and Breadth: By including related but not directly relevant keywords, you are broadening the scope of your content. This can make your page more informative and potentially more appealing to a wider audience. Search engines favor content that provides comprehensive coverage of a topic because it signals that the content can effectively answer user queries.
User Intent Matching: Different users may have varying intents when searching related terms. Some might be looking for types of hair but could also be interested in how to protect their hair from damage or what products to use. Addressing these related queries can capture traffic from these varied intents.
Improving Keyword Portfolio: Utilizing a diverse set of relevant keywords helps to build a more robust keyword portfolio on your site. This can enhance your site's ability to rank for a broader array of search queries.
Semantic Search Benefits: Search engines like Google use semantic search capabilities to understand the context around words in a query. Including related terms helps align your content with possible semantic interpretations and related searches, enhancing your visibility.

Unsolved How to find keywords your competitors rank for but you don't?
Hi, I'm just digging through Moz pro at the moment, and really like the true competitor feature, but would like to be able to see the keywords our competitors rank for and we don't, rather than just the overlapping ones. Is this possible at all? Thanks

Unsolved Good PA/DA...no keywords after 6 months
I've been doing SEO on a clients site, for a back page for 6 months now. Good amount of backlinks, has a PA/DA of 34/32, it's indexed by Google (via Console)...but it's not getting picked up for a single keyword (same in Ahrefs). Haven't had this happen before, what am I missing?

Inserting Keywords in Web Pages
Hello! Question: When I add chosen keywords to my site (in urls, title tags, meta description, page content, headers, etc), do I need to put the words on my webpage exactly as they appear in my keyword research? So if I searched "therapist bay area" and I want to include these keywords, for example, must I use those words in that order in a sentence or header on my homepage? Or is it enough to include each word somewhere on the page?

Is the Adwords keywords planner accurate ?
Hey guyz,
Keyword Research | | atakala
As you guyz do, I base all my seo effort into the keywords' traffic and quality which I can get from Adwords Keywords Planner.
But this post has confused my mind .
It' says the average searches doesn't exactly the average searches.
And everything is okay here now I can say that of course it's not %100 accurate.
But the shocking part is he gives an example of how a big gap there is between real searches number and adwords keywords planner tools give us . What do you think guyz?
Can it be true ?
(And also last time I asked a question, Randy has replied me, If possible please Randy do it again :D.)
