Clueless about Keywords
- SEO |
A few weeks ago, we ranked really well. My boss got the idea that adding tons more keywords would be a good idea, because the plug-in we use in WordPress allows up to 500 per page. Tons were added to each page (not by me)...way too many, and way too broad. Rank took a dive, and I've got to fix it.
So...here's what I can't seem to find info on online...(and forgive me, I'm probably not looking in the right places).
Question 1...In my list of 10-12 keywords on each page...do I need to repeat the main ones and add a few that are relevant to that particular page, or do I do a whole set that are relevant to the page and assume that the ones on the home page will get picked up too? (Should I use the word Atlanta on every page, or is on the home page sufficient?) This poses a problem for us anyway, because there are well over 100 words that "we" want to rank with.
Question 2...It's my understanding that I should keep keywords to 10-12 on the home page, and more specific ones limited to 5-7 on other pages. Is that accurate?
Question 3...The goal is to target local clients. So, the word Atlanta is often in the terms that my boss wants to rank with. For instance, therapy atlanta. Do I need to list all four words like this: therapy, atlanta, therapy atlanta, atlanta therapy....or, is it sufficient to list only: therapy, atlanta for us to come up in searches for therapy atlanta for example?
Any input is greatly appreciated...even if it's to tell me I'm a lost cause when it comes to all of this. Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide.
