          I've recently implemented the page optimization recommendations provided by Moz Pro to help our site rank for specific keywords on certain pages. It’s been about a week since we made these changes, and we’re happy to report that our optimization scores for the targeted keywords and URLs are looking strong. I did create these pages with our intended keywords in mind.

          However, two questions about the page optimization tool:

          1. Ranking Expectations: Since our optimization scores are good, when might we start seeing improvements in our keyword rankings? We know that SEO results can take time, but we would appreciate any insights on a typical timeline based on your experiences.

          2. Optimization and Search Intent: While the tool’s optimization suggestions have been helpful, we’re curious about how they factor in search intent. How does Moz Pro’s advice take into account variations in search intent, especially if users search using slight variations of the keywords we’re targeting?

            When considering optimization and search intent, Moz Pro’s advice focuses on ensuring your content aligns with what users are actually looking for, even when they use slight keyword variations. The tool analyzes trends and patterns in search queries to account for the different ways users might phrase their searches. For example, if users are searching for "Instagram bios" or "shayari," Moz Pro will identify common variations like "cool Instagram bios" or "heartfelt shayari" and recommend optimizations accordingly.

            For a site like igid.bio , which offers Instagram bios and shayari, Moz Pro would help by analyzing the specific ways people search for these terms, ensuring your content captures a wide range of search queries. By targeting slight variations in keywords and understanding user intent, the tool ensures that your site ranks higher and reaches the right audience, even when the search phrasing varies.

              @Cricket93 Great job on your SEO work! Even though your website looks better now, it might take a while for it to show up higher in search results. Be patient, and keep working on it.

              To make sure your website is really helpful to people, you should do some research on what people are actually searching for. Use tools to find good keywords and understand how people are using them. Then, make sure your website answers their questions and solves their problems.

              By combining these tips with the advice from Moz Pro, you can create a website that's both popular and useful.

                It's great to hear about your progress! Typically, you might start seeing keyword ranking improvements within 4-12 weeks after implementing optimization changes, but this can vary based on competition and search engine indexing. Regarding search intent, Moz Pro's recommendations focus on keyword relevance, but it's important to manually assess whether your content aligns with the intent behind those keywords. You might need to fine-tune your content to match user intent, especially for variations in search queries. I am a content writer at https://carpetcleanersblackpool.co.uk/ and you can check how i've used the tune that match the intent of user

                    Is it Ok to have multiple domains (separate website different content) rank for similar keywords?

                    multiple domains duplicate content

                    Is it 'OK' to have multiple domains in the following instance? Does Google actively discourage multiple (but completely different sites) domains from the same company appearing in the search results for the same and or similar keywords if the content is slightly different? This is where the 'main site' has the details, and you can purchase product, and the second site is a blog site only. We are creating a separate content blogsite; which would be on a second domain that will be related to one portion of content on main site. They would be linking back and forth, or maybe the blog site would just link over to the main site so they can purchase said product. This would be a similar scenario to give you an idea of how it would be structured: MAIN SITE: describes a few products, and you can purchase from this site SECOND SITE, different domain: a blog site that contains personal experiences with one of the products. BOTH sites will be linked back and forth....or as mentioned maybe the blog site could just link over to the 'main site' Logo would be a modified version of the main logo and look and feel of the sight would be similar but not exactly the same. MORE INFO: the main site has existed for way over 10 years, starting to gain some traction in an extremely competitive market, but does not rank super high, is gaining traction due to improvements in speed, content, onpage SEO, etc... So in addition to my main question of is this 'ok' to have this second domain, also will it hurt the rankings or negatively affect the 'main' site? Wondering about duplicate content issues, except it will be slightly different...

                    Unsolved Site showing up in Google search results for irrelevant keywords

                    serp keyword rankings

                    Hi there, one of my client's sites is showing up in Google search results / getting a lot of site traffic from keywords that while very close to words we're actually trying to target on the site, are irrelevant for the client and their site content. Does anyone have ideas of how to address this?
