Hi, I've hired an SEO firm and am in the process of choosing keywords. I wanted to submit my keywords to them on Monday morning but they're out of the office until then, so I thought I'd ask here.
I have 2 keywords that I'm looking at "Windows Dallas" and "Dallas Windows". The only difference is word order, and they both have the same amount of searches, 6600, so I'm wondering if Google counts these two as one keyword. So if I optimize the site for one of those, will I also be optimizing for the other?
I only get 10 keywords and both have high volume, but I don't want to waste one of my keywords on a duplicate.
Thanks in advance! These keywords are different. Google is intelligent and it can detect difference between some keywords. Another example is real estate and estate real which are different and have different results and different income for each of them With one of them you can make thousands of dollars monthly and with the other one you can't Thanks for the reply. I just thought it was strange that both keywords have the exact same number of searches. And I saw the same results when I tried the same scenario with other cities. For example "Windows Plano" has the exact same number of searches as "Plano Windows" which is 790 searches. Is the Google keyword tool not so accurate?
Thanks! When using Google Adwords' Keyword Tool, you have to make sure to check off the "Exact" box under "Match Types" in the left column for exact keywords. That should give you a much more accurate idea of the local monthly searches for each. I've entered each of your keywords in the Keyword Tool, and the average local monthly searches for each are as follows: Dallas windows=140; windows Dallas=210. It wouldn't be a bad idea to use both since they capture similar relevant results. Hope this helps. If the results in Adwords Keywords are as AVmom said (didn't try it myself 'cause she already did it) it's pretty close. Kind of a flip a coin thing. Sometimes Adwords comes up with some weird versions and results. So I like to check some other tools before making a decision.
If you search Google with each of the terms in quotation marks, the number of results is different:
"windows Dallas" About 111,000 results
"dallas windows" About 51,500 results
This just indicates the pages using these exact phrases. Your average surfer isn't going to do this. Only seasoned ones.
Results doing that show the same 2 companies in the top results.
