Keyword Restrictions - Advice on Best Practices

[AmandaValle.Digital]

Thanks for your response rhonda002. Your thoughts are along mine, so it's validating - thank you. The only difference is it can't be onsite. It would have to be it's own stand-alone blog.

Is that required by law?

Not sure if it is required by law, but their lawyer has advised them to stay away from what they can and can't do, and having an onsite blog with the mentions of conditions is a no, sadly. To bad as the equity of the home site would help the blog. I also know that the FDA is starting to regulate the supplements industry more, so they are picking and choosing their battles.

That's a tricky one. Looks like GNC has no fear -- but I'm sure they've also got a long line of corporate lawyers to back them up. I'd love to hear how you make it work. Good luck with the account. Best, Rhonda

Hurrah! I can contribute to you after your thoughtful reply to mine.

I worked with a supplement company within a different vertical and I was stopped by the exact same thing. Different claims they could not make because even though the supplement supported different functions - if you go out and crush three bags of McDonalds, the supplement isn't going to be able to do it job, thus the legal problem about statements and guarantees (funny world we live in).

I went the influencer route and avoided anything that could be tied to owned media making claims.

I'll use your example just for confidentiality but these were my steps:

• anecdotal diabetic blogs

• parents with diabetic children

• athletes who manage diabetes

• lifestyle blogs where the writer manages the ailment

• etc

• same thing on forums, Instagram, Youtube etc

Once the list was done, we reached out and tried to establish dialogue - admittedly our success rate was low @ around 7%. Some we paid for placement, others we simply produced the content and offered to amplify through owned social channels which had a substantial audience. I did not hit my personal goal in terms of total mentions however it was all done by the book and established some good ongoing relationships for the client which I handed over once we had momentum.

Hope that helps!

Do not try keyword stuffing of your main keyword in the article or your page. It will do a negative effect on your page SEO. I'm working for the page nutrition veganliftz and I'm trying to balance the main keyword with LSI or related keywords.
