      I'm trying to find the most accurate tool to identify monthly search volumes.  All the tools offer wildly varying results.  Help 🙂

        No doubt there are a lot of Keyword Research tool in the market. Also, we don't know which one is best. So in my opinion select MOZ and Ahrefs these tools are best for me. I get ideas of keyword difficulty with MOZ and for search volume I prefer Ahrefs. As I work on my site for keyword research like best Korean shampoo for hair loss Moz shows me its difficulty is 16 but on the other hand Ahref shows me its difficulty is 2 and volume is 150. So I get an idea of keyword difficulty is from MOZ and get the idea of monthly volume from Ahref.

          According to my experience in SEO, I'm providing the SEO service also since 4 years, then I realize that no tools can provide the accurate volume, So don't depend on tools make your own searches the surly you will find some diamond keyword evergreen keywords, By the way you can check the difficulties by MOZ KEYWORD DIFFICULTIES it provide you almost accurate result than other tool. Then you should have to do work like I have started work on my website https://tinyurl.com/yf8mthp7 after doing 2 months of research.

            Hi there,

            I don't think that there is a single tool which can claim to have the most accurate monthly search volumes, they all tend to use different sources and none of them will be able to replicate exactly what happens on Google.

            Therefore, I think it's important to choose one that you're most comfortable with and use that consistently, then when you use it, don't focus too much on the actual volume of searches and instead focus on the volume of each keyword relative to another. For example, if one keyword has 500 monthly searches, it's unlikely to mean that you will get 500 visits a month if you rank number 1. But if you compare to a keyword where the same tool says that a keyword has 1,000 searches a month, then chances are that this gets more than the first one by a decent amount and could be worth prioritising.

            I tend to use a combination of Moz and Ahrefs for this, along with the Google Keyword Planner.

            Hope that helps!

            Paddy

              I think ahrefs is the best tool available in the market. I have found many useful keywords for best coffee machine 2021 and checked it's difficulty with Moz algorithm (Difficulty should be less than 20) and getting the best results. I hope this will work for you as well.

                Optimizing for close keyword variants

                I am planning my seo project using Moz tools. I am finding keywords that are close to each other. What is the best way to optimize? If I made a page for each of the close words, it would pretty much be duplicate content. Is it best to go ahead and make a page for each and try to make content a bit different? How different does it have to be? Or, would i try to use the different versions of the keyword on one good page. Thank you!

                Does SEOmoz account for keyword variations?

                If I want to know my rank for bank account, do I need to list bank accounts as well or will my ranking include variations? Also, if I use the word bank as a keyword, will any search that contains the word bank (even when other words are included) count towards the ranking for that word? Or would I need to add additional keywords like dallas bank, local bank, etc?

                Keyword Analysis Tool

                Can someone please enlighten me on the Keyword Analysis tool Matrix. Does Domain Linking refer to the number of links back to that domain as a whole? Also why is it that a page with a lower page ranking can be way ahead of one with a domain ranking that is way higher or vice-a -versa? What is a good number to go after? what is actually attainable? Thanks

                How to Document Keyword Research?

                How do you guys document keyword research? My best idea for this is an excel document that is separated into different areas for the topics of the website. Does anyone have any examples of documenting keyword research?

                I am trying to establish my best keywords using the keyword difficulty tool. So if I want to come up with the best keywords, should I use the ones that come in at 50%??

                Most Important Keyword Term

                Question about a sites most important keyword term. So lets say you have a website and your most important keyword term is "Blue Widgets", you also have a page named "blue-widgets.htm". What do we do with our index page in this instance? Especially for the title  tag? Should I put "Blue Widgets" in the title tags of both pages? I'm guessing this would be a duplicate meta tag error? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
                Thanks
                -Brandon
