Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you, I will try that.

Hello,

In the keyword explorer when I group keywords by lexical similarity should I only choose keywords that have a high relevancy to my seed keyword (the one I typed and want to rank on ?

Let me give you an example. Let's say my seed keyword (the one I want to rank on) is "Alsace bike tours. With the keyword explorer I group the keywords and find the group " cycling in Alsace" (ok I take that one because it relevant to "Alsace bike tours" then I find "Strasbourg to Colmar by bike" I also take this one because it is also relevant to "alsace bike tours" but what about concepts like "Alsace wine region", Alsatian architecture, wines of Alsace, cuisine of Alsace or prettiest villages in Alsace... should I totally dismiss those from my content because they aren't relevant to my keyword "Alsace bike tours" or is it ok to use them but it won't help me at all ?

Thank you,

Interesting ...

Should you always go by the highest relevancy when your choose your keywords sor can you take some keywords with the lowest relevancy possible and will it still help your webpage ?

Thank you,

Thank you for the information nut I think you misunderstood what I meant.

I am not talking about the search volume but I am talking about  the keyword found when I group by lexical similarity.

For example when I group by high lexical similarity let's say "alsace bike tour" google doesn't have any data and keyword explorer is almost unable to create groups with sentences that "mean the same thing". In other words I have to try to guess what would be the sentences and create groups myself.

I will summarise and then ty to explain :

When I group keyword with the keyword explorer if concepts (grouping keywords) that I find are too similar to each other how do I go about it...

Ldg me know explain.

When google doesn't have enough data to rank a website with  content does it only use links ?

Let me give you an example. If I take "title tag" as a keyword people have a lots of questions that can be answered which will create numerous concepts.

However, let's take "hiking tours Italy" for example. If I go through the keyword explorer or all the other tools existing out there people don't have questions. All I find are variations or synonyms of my keyword and I group by low lexical similarity all the words are going to be very similar.

I know that each variation can be grouped and considered a different concepts but writing about various concepts that mean exactly the same thing because of lack of data not very smart and useful...

So in that case what does google do, does it rank a website only based on links or schema ?  see that it has no way to rank it based on good quality content because of a lack of data (questions that could be answers that would lead to concepts).

Thank you,

Hello,

I am the exclusive reseller of a product in Switzerland. However, when I type the name of the product the maker of the product appears 1 st on google with its website instead of my website that ends in .ch ?

I appear nowhere when I type the product name and my website has been online for more than 6 months. How can I make sure I appear 1 st above the maker of that product ?

The only place I appear is in the right side with the adresse and phone number but I would like to appear in the search results (blue links).

Thank you,

Hello,

I am looking at the content suggestions in the page optimisation section  and was wondering why the system says that some pages cover some topics and some don't cover it ? Is it based on finding "noun phrases" that co-occurre  (twice the same one) ? or "noun phrases" that are used in the same context (even though they are different) ?

Thank you,

Thank you I will have a look at all that.

Hello,

I have a product page and just did a little introduction ( 5 lines of text) but I have the feeling this is not enough for google.

What is the solution ?

Is it to increase the amount of content even though it is not going to be user friendly ?

Or will google look at the product page I link too and take into account the content on those subpages to boost my "pillar / product page".

Thank you,

Hi,

How long is the delay to de-rank once you remove everything from a page ?

Thank you,

Hello,

I have read in the past that during a major update google puts all his ressources in the update and it seems  that they don't update search results anymore. Has someone noticed that too ? How long does it take for an update to be rolled out fully and have everything get back to normal ?

Thank you,

Hello,

Let's say I want to rank on "Alsace bike tour" whatever tool I use Moz keyword explorer, google suggest , keyword.io, answer the public ... there are not questions... so... what  do I need to answer ? I imagine that for google there are some questions more relevant than others ? Should I answer do I need to bring my own bike or where will I go... ? and will google give me "points " for answering those questions even though people don't have questions...

For the keyword title tag, it is easy, people ask the character limit,  title tag generator and so on but for may keywords like that ones I am targeting people have NO Questions !

Thank you,

Thank you for your reply. I will read what you wrote in more detail.

I know that in order to rank on any keyword I need to talk about different "concepts / topics " everyone has a different word for it but let say I need to talk about multiple subject to make it simple.

My question is how to find those subjects ... in some industry it is pretty straight forward you go to related search  or some keyword tool such as Moz and you find what you need. Example : If "Title tag" is my main topic the subtopic that I find and that I need to cover on the same page are "title tag length , title tag checker, mobile title tag, title tag example etc..."

On my keywords such as " Alsace bike tours" all I find in related searches and using all the tools out there such as Moz keyword research explorer is "Alsace cycling vacations "  ""Cycling Colmar" "Alsace bike trip " etc... not really anything exiting , it means the same thing and it is just variations of the keyword.

I have used other tools such as Marketmuse and they give me related topic such as "Strasbourg" "Colmar" "half timbered houses" "Alsace wine"  and I am not sure it is any better... because to cover those I have no other solution that doing definitions... or describe those in details which is probably not what someone typing "Alsace bike tour" is looking for.

I have the feeling that all those tools are great for keywords like "content marketing" or "title tag" with a lot of requests but they fail for everything else.

Can someone give me an insight on how they do to write on multiple topic where they are in my situation and based on the example I gave which topic they would cover and based on my example..

Thank you,

Thank you for your reply.

Good to know. Thank you.

Let me give me you an example. For example for the keyword title tag (let's imagine) I would want to rank on that. I go to the keyword explorer or related searches at the bottom of google there are many questions people have..

I find expressions (with the same user intent)  such as "title tag length", "title tags generator", " "why are title tag importants" (I found this one using the are questions drop down menu of the keyword explorer). With this in hand I can create a page where I answer all those questions. I would have all those expressions being an H2 and answer the questions using related phrases and context word that I will find with the keyword explorer in my paragraph below.

Let now take one of my keyword "Sicily bike tours". If I type this expression int he keyword explorer...the only related phrases (with the same user intent) that I find are "Sicily bike tour", "Sicily cycling tours", "Sicily bike trips"... (first thing I noticed is that it is just variation of my main expression not really question...).

If I look at questions I find "what is the highest elevation in Sicily" or "How safe is Sicily for tourists". I don't imagine on a page that sells bikes tours in Sicily having h2 tags that answers those questions...  and this is not what people that rank do, they describe their tour and this is what is confusing to me.

Let's now take a secondary related keyword to main keyword. Let' s take "Sicily cycling tours" (it is a secondary related keyword to "Sicily bike tours". Based on the keyword explorer, the secondary related phrases to "Sicily cycling tours" are "tour of Sicily". "trips to Sicily".... ( isn't that going to be boring and look unnatural to use all those expressions ? ). There are all synonyms of my expression but not really different which is my worry ?

Or can I use an expression such as "Sicilian villages" or "Sicily maps" even though they don't have the same user intent) as  my secondary related keyword "Sicily cycling tours".

Thank you,

Hello,

Can you rank on a keyword like "Loire Valley bike tours" (plural version) on the 1 st page  that describes your tour with just 1 tour and not a lit of tours ?

Thank you,

Hello,

I have create a new webpage and asked google in the webmaster tool to crawl it. Within minutes it is ranked at a certain spot. I did make changes to it to increase the ranking and right away I could see variations in ranking either up or down ?

I have done the same same thing for a page that has been existing on my website for many years. I changed the content, asked the webmaster tool to re-crawl it. It got the new content within minutes but the ranking doesn't seem to change. Maybe my content isn't good enough but I doubt.

Could it be that on old pages it takes a couple weeks to see ranking changes whereas on new page it is instantaneous.

Has anyone experienced something similar ?

Thank you,
