Title Keyword Order Question

[Gorkonola]

Hey there,

Hoping someone could provide me with an answer / some insight into this.

As an example, if I were to be targeting "Fish markets in" and "Fish shops in" as my keyword(s).  And my site name was "The Fish Guide".

I am trying to populate my title tags as best as possible without sacrificing readability and definitely making an effort to avoid the the spam-factor.

Ideally I'd like to rank well (just focusing on titles at the moment, nothing else) when a user searches for "Fish markets in London" and **"Fish shops in London" **or "Fish markets in Los Angeles" or "Fish shops in Berlin" etc.

If I were to use the following structure in my titles (in this case for London):

"Fish markets and fish shops in London - The Fish Guide"

Would this work as I hope?

I.E. If a user searched for either "Fish shops in London" or "Fish markets in London" would the format of my title in this example work or would I need to have "Fish Markets in London" and "Fish Shops in London" grouped together?

E.G. "Fish Markets in London - Fish Shops in London - The Fish Guide"

Thanks!

Google is smart when it comes to title tags and how they will help you target the right kind of audience. If you are targeting two keywords on your page which are “Fish Markets in London” and “Fish Shops in London” then you should not necessarily add the exact match keywords in it.

When crafting your Meta Data, all you have to do is to make it natural and include partial match anchor text in it.

You proposed two titles that are:

-          Fish markets and fish shops in London - The Fish Guide

-          Fish Markets in London - Fish Shops in London - The Fish Guide

If I would be you, I would have craft the title tag of the page somewhat like this:

Fish Markets and shops in London – The Fish Guide

Hope this helps!
