When targeting a particular keyword, how many articles should I write that target it?
-
I have a keyword phrase that's a high value target for us. Should I write just one - or several articles that target that keyword as their main focus?
Thanks!

Personally, I don't think you need a lot on site. After you have the topic covered on your site, I'd look for opportunities off site. Since improper handling can result in injury, look for guest blog opportunities on physical therapist and chiropractor sites, sites that target businesses that actually handle material, employee benefit insurance and brokerage sites, even sites that have pages on relocation like city, realtor, and professional organizer sites. I'd also create an infographic demonstrating how to safely handle material and draw attention to it by notifying the same sites. Then create a series of videos and put them in Youtube.

manual handling?
Books and entire websites can be written about that.
manual handling course - Which MH course? There are semesters worth of these courses addressing equipment, different types of equipment, different types of things being handled, my goodness!
manual handling training course - this is a bit of a repeat of the above
manual handling train the trainer - there can be multiple articles here covering methods, environments goals
manual handling online training - many courses here too
If my entire website was about MH I could spend years authoring it.
If MH is just one of many areas of my site then I would pour resources into it proportional to my authoring abilities and proportional to the return that I think I might receive.
I could start with a light and general attack and then pick it up in six months if it shows promise. I would plan the options before the first attack, these address the overall goal, then respond as you get information.
Do not commit enormous resources early unless you have experience and confidence with the expected return and the competition.
Send out scouts to report on the lay of the land, then attack based on their success or move on if you do not see promise.

Main KW = manual handling
important related KWs = manual handling course, manual handling training course, manual handling train the trainer, manual handling online training

Give an example of a keyword. I'll tell you what I might do.

Thanks Egol. I definetly plan to write many articles on associated KWs.
its more that I'm unsure if each KW I trace get should only have one article specifically created to target that KW - or if more articles targeting the same KW are ok...
-
I would put more thought into it.
Are there shorter tail variants and longer tail variants? Do they get traffic? Is their competition? Can I produce exceptional content? Can I compete there? Can they make money?
There are frontal attacks, side attacks, skirmishes and snipping. For some topics I attack with all of these. With others I use just one, see how it works, then follow up with a second but different attack.
Attacks cost money and time. Spend them wisely.
Think deeply for the best answer.

Wrong page ranking for keyword.
I have a page i'm trying to rank for certain keywords around "emergency vet clinic" the page is domain.com/emergency-vet-care but my home page is the one that is ranking better and better. How can I get the other page to rank for e.g. "emergency vet care" , "emergency animal care" and the main page to rank for just regular vet care? My on page looks pretty good. I've also taken out most references to emergency care on the main home page except for the one link to it. Thanks

What came first the content or the keyword research?
So I've been searching high and low to try and answer this. I just cant seem to get this part down and i know its the most important part. I always run into the issue where i am building a e commerce or some other site and i have it all set up but no content. So i start doing keyword research. In which the market niche that i am working on now is really broad, so its really hard to research. I then end up getting frustrated because the competition for the words are really high. But back on track, i get frustrated and then kaboom! i don't get the results i want and i am back to square one and no content is made or nothing. So my webpage gets nothing. So i took a step back and wondered, should i make all the content first and then the keyword research and then go back and "revise" my website content with all my keywords that i a trying to target? Sounds like a dumb question but i just wanted feedback and input on how people do this and go forth with everything.

How to target very broad, umbrella keywords on the homepage
Hey there SEO Mozzers, I'm new to the SEO Moz community and would genuinely appreicate any advice/input on this topic. I'm part of the online marketing team for a UK-based site called Tendea.co.uk. We operate an introductory platform for enabling the connection between parents and families seeking care services (childcare, pet care, senior care, home & garden care, etc.) and individuals providing care services (babysitters, nannies, pet sitters, housekeepers, etc.). To take a US site for comparison, the services are very similar to those offered by Care.com I'm currently having a bit of difficulty as to what very broad, umbrella keywords we should be targeting for the homepage, primarily in the meta title/description. We've started with keywords such as "care, family services, care services, and family care", but I think these terms are almost too generic and aren't necessarily terms we really want to be ranking for. I suggested to our in-house SEO team that we just target some of our strongest keywords from each of the individual care categories for the homepage (babysitter, pet sitter, housekeeper, caregiver, etc.). They were against this idea, though, as we have separate subfolders that target the individual care categories and their specific keywords (tendea.co.uk/childcare, /pet-care, /elderly-care, etc.) Essentially the argeument is that we don't want to be targeting these terms on the homepage and on a separate subfolder page, as then the two pages would be competing for each other's keywords. Instead we're being encouraged to find some sort of umbrella terms to target for the home page that can encompass all of the care categories. For comparison's sake, I took a look at Care.com's meta data and it targets all their specific keywords for the various care categories "Babysitters, nannies, Child Care & Senior Home care - Care.com". Is this the right kind of strategy to take, or do you guys have any suggestions for much broader, umbrella keywords to target on our homepage? Thanks in advance for your input! -Mike

Should I be optimizing for Keywords that we already rank for?
When selecting which Keywords to optimize for, should I choose all words that I want us to move up for? Like that my company appears ranked for 5, 10, 42, 44, etc.? Or should I select a mix of some that rank well (top 1-2 pgs in Google) /rank near pg 5/ and some that aren't showing up in the top 50 yet? I don't want to waste my time optimizing for words I don't need to. Thanks!
