How can I maximize my On Page for these two common usages

[Banknotes]

I have a page that is tuned for this query:  1886 ten dollar bill and I am happy with my placement.

The same page performs poorly if someone types: 1886 $10 dollar bill

Is there anything I can do short of having another page tuned for the $ rather than 10?

Hi

What is the url you are wanting to improve - without looking at the page its a bit hard to give some advice. if you don't want to share it - you can send me a private message and I will take a look.

Without looking at the page, does the page actually contain the phrase '1886 $10 bill'.

Also when you are checking your rankings, what area (state, town etc) are you looking from so that I can try replicate the same conditions as you and see the same competitors. So that I can identify what is making them rank above you.

Thanks

I would not recommend setting up a different page for the different queries.

Have you used the Moz page-grader tool and entered in each query to ensure you get an "A" grade for both queries?

I've actually gotten google to recognize scenarios like that for pages like that so it's possible.

I've experimented on doing some internal linking (if possible) and get a few links to come in with the $ sign.

Mention the $ sign in the body and eventually, I've gotten it to work.

Sometimes, location does affect that kind of search term though so that's another variable.

Hi Andy,

I am working from New York city but anywhere in the US should hopefully give the same results.  The target is the US.

I sent you the URL privately.

Kind regards,

I agree re two pages... I can't imagine the overhead that would require.  I grade an A for the spelled out version and an F for the $ version.

Sounds like I need to do some trial and error with the on page utility.  I will add the $ to the body and see where I get too.

Thank you!

Easiest thing to do is replace every instance of "1886 ten dollar bill" with "1886 ten dollar ($10) bill" - it contains all variations you need to rank for. Let me know if that helped.
