Finding main keywords associated with a competitors page
-
A key part of my content creation decision is identifying keywords that have been successful for competitors. Ahrefs has a feature that allows me to see the keywords that have resulted in organic traffic for a particular page. So, for example, I can identify CompanyA as a competitor, find their top pages and, for each one, find the keywords that drove the most traffic to each of those pages. The information reported includes the monthly search volumes associated with each keyword, plus the number of visits driven to the page based on that keyword.
That is very interesting to me. I am a long time Moz subscriber and want to find a way to do this here. Is there any way to do this with Moz features? I can't justify both a Moz and AHrefs subscription so I have a tough choice to make if Moz doesnt' support this. I'm hoping I am just missing that here.
Thanks.

do keyword difficulty tool will allow you to show whose ranking for what in the niche you're competing in. Ad words is an excellent and free keyword tool as well.
see what the competitor is showing up for using fresh web explorer place the competitor in

keyword research can be conducted but should always be conducted using a variety of tools.
I don't mean to be redundant I hope this helps.

I assume that you have the competitors in a campaign on Moz analytics?
if you do you will get the will data on the domain of your competitor when added.
( This is somewhat new)
find their top pages and, for each one, find the keywords that drove the most traffic to each of those pages. The information reported includes the monthly search volumes associated with each keyword, plus the number of visits driven to the page based on that keyword.
OSE You can find their top pages, you would have to use the keyword tool for the more granular information.
If you put the keywords into a Moz campaign you will see all the information you're looking for.
truthfully were looking for a tool just to do competitor keyword analysis I would use SEMrush or SpyFu however adding these keywords to Moz give you a lot of insight once you are done with your initial round of research you will want to continue to research I know this. But combining SEMRush with Moz will be inexpensive and more powerful than AHrefs for what you have described.

Thank you, Ifemidayo. Yes, that's my conclusion too, though I'd love to be proven wrong There are a number of competitive sites (Moz, SEMRush. SearchMetrics, Traffic Analysis App and so on) that provide this so it is a little surprising Moz doesn't offer this analysis.
Like you, I'd love to hear from Moz folks on this.
Thanks.

I do believe this is not currently possible with OSE. I see the top pages tab - I see the page authority, social shares and inbound links... But that's about it with OSE. As far as I know... I'd be interested in seeing what the staff here have to say about this one.

Thank you, Thomas. Yes, that's pretty much in line with my thinking. I have used Moz for quite some time and it is indeed very rich in functionality. It's just a shame that - for this particular scenario (finding the keywords that result in traffic to competitive sites) - there doesn't seem a way to tackle this with Moz.
I was hoping there was some functionality or some combination of features that would allow me to get to this on Moz. It speaks to the breadth of the Moz feature set that I was initially assuming it was there somewhere but I just hadn't located it yet.
Thanks again.

using the keyword research tools Moz supplies are excellent they even pull from SEMRush I would strongly recommend keeping Moz it is a foundation tool in my opinion.
Obviously if you use Moz tools in concert with other tools you will get more data which is important. However if you have to pick just one Moz offers far more than Ahrefs this is coming from somebody that uses Moz, Ahrefs, majestic, deep crawl, SEMrush, SERPS, SpyFu cnd much more.

Keyword Plan Of Attack
We have looked up our direct competitor to see what keywords they rank #1 for (aside from their own company name). We have narrowed it down to 3 that we want to focus on. Our plan is to build internal landing pages, external landing pages and beef up our content. Is that a good strategy to start or are we missing something?

Keywords. Who to trust.
Hello, I'm baby and family photographer. I have done my keyword research. Used Keyword tool. According to the research tool it says that highest local search traffic for baby market would be keywords like cute babies, baby pictures. I asked many of my clients what they would enter in search box if they were to look for baby photographer. Pretty much everyone has said that there would be some form of photographer word in search term with baby word. So like baby photographer, photographers, baby photo studio etc. Unfortunately these type of terms are under 10 searches per month. I have only two relevant pages to target these baby keywords. I'm really wondering who actually uses terms like cute babies, baby pictures. I have a feeling that those searches are made by like photo agencies, newspapers, stock libraries etc. I don't think mum who looks for photographer is suing these search terms. When you do your research, do you take in account metrics or go by more human element and try to look at it from clients perspective. What they would be searching for? Thank you guys, Just don't want to mess up with this and make sure I do the right thing.

Question about keyword
I had read a post in SEOmoz about keywords. According to it, The best keywords are 1. High Volume (many searches/month) 2. Low Competition 3. High Value (large % of visitors convert) My question is how can i find about 2nd and 3rd point. High search volume is shown in many Tools including Google adwords, but how can we be sure to find keywords that are low in competition and at the same time high value.
