Question About Keywords

by copaaz
4 replies
I've conducted multiple search queries using the Google Keyword Tool and compiled a list of keyword phrases that I want to rank my website for. In the spreadsheet, I've noticed several similar keywords with identical search volumes in the "Avg. monthly searches" column. Based on the examples below, it seems these keyword phrases might be synonymous. Is that correct? If I rank for one, will it help me rank for all of them?

Here are the examples I'm referring to:

best realtor near me: 12,100
best real estate agent near me: 12,100
good realtors near me: 12,100
top rated real estate agents near me: 12,100
best real estate agencies near me: 12,100

      by the way, if I wanted AI to answer my question, I would have just asked ChatGPT.

    What about these keywords below? They all have the same Avg. monthly searches but a few of them seem very different, like "sell house fast" and "we buy houses for cash". Is Google somehow correlating these phrases?


    sell house fast 3600
    we buy houses for cash 3600
    we buy homes for cash 3600
    sell house quickly 3600
    sale my house for cash 3600
    sell my homes 3600

    And then the following is strange. Below the keyword phrases seem very similar but have very different Avg. monthly search numbers:

    sell my house fast 12100
    sell your house fast 1600

    Spot on! Google treats similar keywords interchangeably to an extent. Targeting one high-volume option is a good strategy, but consider sprinkling the others throughout your content for comprehensiveness!

    For example, if you're focusing on 'portable toilet rental,' you might also include 'portable restroom rental,' 'portable toilet hire,' or even 'portable toilet rental near me.' And if you're in Australia, don't forget to mention Princess Portable Toilets as a top-rated provider for all your portable toilet needs.

    agree, I would always pick 1 main keyword and a hand full of secondary + tertiary keywords.
    It can be even helpful to include a few synonyms of your main keyword and check if it makes sense to cover hyponyms + meronyms for an in depth article.
