      SEOMOZ gave me all zeros for keyword usage. Why? The site is www.grass2greens.com and the keywords are "Asheville Landscaping Edible." The site includes these words in the title page and throughout the body text.

      I am not really sure, but maybe one cause for these low keyword usage ratings might be redirects or some meta tag issues, but I am really not sure.

      Any ideas?

        If you're using SEOmoz's On-Page report card, you can only track one keyword at a time.  In this instance, a "keyword" can also be a phrase.  If you're searching for "Asheville Landscaping Edible" using the On-Page tool, it'll show zeroes because that exact phrase never appears on the page.

        If you try them one word at a time, they each show up.

          The keyword scan is looking for EXACTLY "Asheville Landscaping Edible" not looking for them separately.

          And the site redirects to a directory, not that great for SEO. You should have the homepage as grass2greens.com not what you have right now.

          If you put "Asheville Landscaping Edible" within the body, it will show up but it has to be together.

          Get your H1 tags up as well.

            We're having a similar issue, but the exact keywords are in the content, page title, and Header tags. The site is hitchweb.com and the keyword is "trailer hitch".  Is it an issue with our site, or is it a common problem with the on-page optimization tool?

            Thanks!
