Onpage Grader not Finding Keyword in URL

[Dino64]

I've noticed that the Onpage Grader is not including my keyword in the URL when the keyword is in the domain. If I grade an inner page and the keyword is in the sub-directory, it finds it. Is this intentional? If so, why does the grader not include my keyword in the domain as Keyword in the URL?

Hi Dino, is the keyword a single word? With more than one word you have to use the"-" in the url to separate the words. Hope it helps!

Yes, it's a single word. My keyword is "locksmith" and locksmith is in the domain. Shouldn't locksmith be counted as 1 keyword in URL? Same thing with the keyword "heating" when heating is in the domain, but it's not showing in the Onpage Grader. Having the same issue with other clients.

Hi Dino,

Is there a green checkmark in front of it? I sometimes find it not very clear in the Onpage Grader if you do or don't measure up to the Ranking Factor. If the keyword is placed behind a domain  www.domain.com/locksmith it should indeed be picked up by the Grader

Hey Dino!

Since the domain is not actually www.locksmith.com or www.locksmiths.com, we will not recognize the keyword usage and the entire domain name counts as a single keyword. We do not recognize broad usage in the domain name as an exact match.

So what we are looking for would be considered as exact match hyphenated domains.

So something like www.seattle-locksmith.com would be two keywords in the domain.

Hope this helps!
