Make one article or split into 2?

Hey

What is better for seo? When have keywords for example "dog peeing inside" and "dog pooping inside" Make 1 article or two with keywords as titles?

You could make two parts so the user is always curious about the 2nd article...make them curious...

Maybe 1 article with 2 main subheadings. Then when link building you could link to a particular subheading depending on the situation. A big fat article is probably gonna be better for ranking. I read somewhere that an average serp#1 article is about 2000 words or something along those lines.
The main advantage of splitting articles is if you have established traffic, splitting allows for exposing visitors to additional ads, as if a dog pisses inside it probably shits inside too, think of news portals and quiz websites.

Write a 10,000 word article on 'dog peeing'
Use ATP and other tools and SMASH THAT BALL right out of the park!

I'd do two articles that target both keywords and two more each targeting one. A/B test the articles, build links to them and assess how results vary.

Of course you would as the content expert, the rest of us are trying to figure out how to do it with the least content possible

2 articles will be best, because its going to be more accurate to the point and you can know exactly what your user looking for.

Well i think 1 article is good to house the 2 kws. The reason is with a lengthy 1 article of say 1500-2500 words you could rank for the 2 kws and some other kws that you're not targeting

I think it’s better to have two articles, each optimized for one of the keywords. Make sure to add links so that the person reading one article would end up reading the second one as well. Let’s face it, if someone has a problem with their dog peeing inside, they will probably be interested in solving the pooping issue as well.
