Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Here is the page I am talking about :  https://bit.ly/2XAgohf

I did put it online 24 hours ago and see that it the latest version isn't cached maybe I should wait until it is ?

In the meantime,  for my keyword "Alsace bike tours" if you go in the keyword tool you will notice there are no questions so how do I answer the user intent on such a keyword ? In that case should I answer like wikipedia with a "where is Alsace" even though the relevancy is just a 1 out of 5 ?

I also have question about related topics, there are number of tools including Moz content suggestion that gives you related topic and for "Alsace bike tours" it gives me "Strasbourg" and "Colmar" . But what do I need to do with those, is just words to add in my content or is topics that i need to cover and answer a question about "Strasbourg" ?  If it is a question that I need to answer could someone tell me how to answer it because I am not sure what I would answer

Thank you,

Il Could the way I structure my sentences (parsing) be the issue ?

Could some give me an example on how they do keyword research because I have tried many things and it doesn't work.

Here is what I tried : Let's take a keyword  " Alsace bike tours"

I go to the keyword tool, lisgraph, ubersuggest, google keyword tool, and type "Alsace bike tours"

Thos tools spit me phrases such as :

"bike from colmar to riquewihr, "alsace vineyard cycle route", alsace cycle routes. I write my content and integrate those expressions in it.

In my content I add words that relate to alsace such as Strasbourg, Colmar, the wine route etc...

I wait and weeks later see no change in ranking..

What I am missing ?

Thank you,

If I summarise , once my page is cached it means that I should see a change in ranking ! However, in some cases the change in ranking could improve over time. Correct ?

I noticed that when I request indexing in the webmaster tool my new content is live within minutes. Does it take longer to update the ranking or is the ranking updated as soon as the new page has been indexed.

Thank you,

Conclusion once you have the words it all comes done to how you write. Good topic sentence with supporting sentence. Otherwise it won't work !

I agree with you.

So my final question is how can MOZ content suggestions tell me that on this page https://bit.ly/2RH7PLp

I have covered "Balagne" but not "Porto".  I have words such a Scandola Nature Reserve, Girolata, Calanques de Piana , red local granite and all those are words related to "Porto" (the town in Corsica) so there is something I am missing and maybe you can help. I  believe it has to do with the way I write ? (structure of my sentences he way the sentences in the paragraph go with each other etc...)

Thank you for the reply but how do you connect entities in a sentence. Isn't there a specific format for structuring a sentence ?

It seems that it all start with a good topic sentence where the topic I am focusing is understood because of a clear semantic connection. Then I add the related words in the paragraph. However, if I don't have a good semantic connection in my topic sentence the search engine won't rank me even though I have the related words below because it would be like stuffing words in my content.

Why do search engine parse sentences ?

Thank you for your detailed reply Dan.

Thank you for the link.

ok

Hello,

I am wondering if to write and rank I should slipt my expression.

Example : "Alsace bike tour ", should I write a paragraph with keywords that match "Alsace" and then a paragraph with keywords related to "bike tours" or should I write something with keywords related to "alsace bike tour"

I imagine that when it is something that exist I don't need to split it for example " la loire velo" because it is a network of bike path in the Loire valley but for other things like above I do need to split it ?

An input on that would be great.

Thank you,

Hello Russ,

I have another question concerning content suggestions. If I get it right the content suggestions are "topic" that I should cover in my content. Let's take the keyword "Dordogne family bike tour" (one of my keywords). Moz content suggestions tell me the I covered Rocamadour.  However, I also have Sarlat in my text but apparently content suggestion doesn't say I covered it ...

Why ? I have an idea !

I believe that in order to cover a " topic"  you need what I would call "indicator words" that are part of the same semantic group as the "topic" I am trying to cover correct ?

For the world "Sarlat" it seems that I don't have any words related to "Sarlat", whereas I have words related to Rocamadour. Is it correct ?

How do I know which words are semantically connected to Rocamadour ? How do I know if it is the word, hilltop village, pilgrimage destination, Chapelle Notre dame, the Black Madonnna status , all of those words or other words that triggered the fact that Rocamadour is covered ?

Finally, does or do the words that trigger need to be in the same sentence, same paragraph or anywhere on the webpage is ok ?

Thank you,

Ok I will try Yoast.

By the way I noticed some software surf 100 of pages to find the words whereas Moz limits itself in its content suggestions to the 1 st 20 results. Why is that ? is it because after the 2 nd page the words are totally off topic ?

Thank you,

Thank you that is very helpful.

Now is there a toll that can tell me how many times I need to have a certain word ?

How do you find phrases that co-occur together and go in the same cluster.

I know that I can do keyword research via the keyword tool as well as other tools and even google related searches but I have the feeling it is very limited. Does anyone have any other advice or tools  ?

Once you figure our the correct words / expression is there a way to write your sentences, does syntax have an impact ?

Thank you for the detailed reply.  I will start working on my value proposition and move on from there.

By the way what is the difference between a value proposition a topic sentence with a supporting sentence ?

Is  a great title tag the same as a great value proposition ? I have a hard time figuring out what a good one would be because in my industry everyone is terrible ... Either they have synonyms : Bike tours in France  / Cycling vacations in France or they use words like Best Bike tours in France but honestly this doesn't want to make me click at all  (but they still rank).  Is it because they have a value proposition which isn't in their title tag but somewhere else on the page ?

If I come up with a good title that make people want to click, is google going to boost me even though this isn't something that people have in their head when the do a search for "bike tours France " ?

Concerning the content, all of us doing bike tours in France have the same thing, a list of different tours by destination. It is very hard to differentiate myself on this. Is I had something that nobody has on their page can it help me ? or to help me does it need to be something people have in their head or are looking for ?

Thank you,

I have a webpage about bike tours in France with a list of bike tours in France. I imagaine people don't want a big paragraph about what a bike tour in France is because this is a transactional query and not an informational query.

How do I go about ranking this page ?

Would a good title tag and good description  be enough to rank that page ?

Thank you,
