      Hi Guys!

      I have approx. 50 keywords that I'm tracking for a website that has about 80 pages.

      I am wondering is there any way that I can find out which page on the site is currently ranking best for each of the keywords on my list?

      Ideally I would like to export the entire list with the keyword in the first column and the page that ranks best on the website for each given keyword, in the second column.

      Apologies if the wording of this post is confusing - I am not quite sure how to make it clearer.

      The aim of my task is to determine which keywords should be allocated to each page on the site so I need to work out which keywords are working already for certain pages so that I don't take those efforts away from the well-optimised pages.

      Many thanks!

      Meaghan

        Google analytics should give you this information pretty clearly.

          Hi Meaghan,

          What you could do is use a rank tracker and add your 50 keywords to it. If you're able to export them it could tell you what kind of pages are already ranking for the right search terms. In the old days I would have used Bradleys option and have gone with Google Analytics. But as it won't tell you the keywords anymore it's really hard to make a good decision based on that lack of data.

            Hi Meaghan,

            The rank tracker I use will offer this information, and would be happy to set this up and run the report for you if you wish? It will tell you which pages are ranking for which phrases. I can export it and drop this back over.

            Drop me an e-mail to info (@) inetseo.co.uk

              If you are looking for a more permanent option, use this tool:
              http://www.advancedwebranking.com/

              This rank checker allows you to enter in your own keywords that you want to display the rank of. Better yet, it uses proxy servers so the results dont count against you. Only thing I would mention is to not run the report more often then once every two weeks, as this will make your impression count go way up.

              Here is a link to a site we set up a long time ago: 
              http://www.woodlandwindows.com/awr/

              All the keyword choices showing up were ones that we chose. The front page listings show up in bold, so it's easy to see what is ranking, and what isn't. You don't have to have that large of a list.

              Also, if you are trying to use a free platform to help, Google analytics can show you your top visited pages, which more than likely has a direct effect on your topp ranking pages. When you link your webmaster account and analytics accounts together, you can view search query and keyword ranking info.
