Find out what keywords a site is ranking for

[goodge]

I want to find out what keywords a site is ranking for.

In other words, I want to find out how Google is currently seeing a site.

I've used Google KW tool - not very accurate when you simply type in the URL.

Is there anything in SEOMoz I can use? New to this. thanks

Best two things you can do are:

1. Add your site to Google Webmaster Tools and then go to Traffic -> Search Queries. The keywords your site ranks for will appear within a few days after you confirmed your site on GWT.

2. Use a traffic tracking service and check if you get any traffic from search engines.

Woorank offers a cool tool that gives you insight on what are the keywords you are ranking for well right now.

In addition to this like Kettler suggested Google webmaster is one of the best tool for this thing.Search queries an area which gives you what is your average position,Impressions and clicks on that keywords.In addition to it you will also know what are your top pages.

Hi Clare

If you are talking about your own site, then Dorothea gives a couple of good ideas.

If you're wondering what competitors might be ranking for, there are a couple of options.  Keyword Spy is one of my favourites, as it will find the competitive keywords that your competitors are ranking for, potentially allowing you to uncover some hidden gems.  There's also nothing stopping you from running this analysis on your own site.

There's a monthly fee, but there's also a free 30-day trial you can take advantage of.  Everyone loves a bit of free!

Hope this helps.

SEMRush is exactly what you are looking for. Just plug in a URL and you will see the top organic keywords as well as PPC keywords any website is currently ranking for, the number of searches each month and the estimated percentage of traffic any particular keyword is responsible for generating. It's very useful to quickly find out the keywords your competitors are targeting and ranking for, as well as on your own site to uncover keywords that you may be ranking 19th for that you weren't even aware of.
