Hello,

I have a blog on which I have written many articles, I'm ranking for a lot of them.

However, during my keywords research from the competing articles, using the SEO tool I noticed that they were naturally ranking for multiple keywords, like for example:
  • best fast water phones
  • best speedy phones for water
  • fast aquatic phones
Knowing that, can I add the same exact keywords to my content, "text", or "h2 tags", for the purpose of springling them in my article to let google know better my post.
I'm considering doing the same for a lot of my articles, but I need to be sure that this won't be considered as "spamming" or "keyword stuffing" in the eyes of Google if I use exact keywords match.


Your advice would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you

It's okay to include them in your content as long as you
1) don't over repeat
2) place them "naturally" - ie., they flow naturally with the points you raise in your text
3) don't stuff your H2 / H3 headings with them

Keep in mind that you don't have to put them all in the body of your text, you can also 'sprinkle' some in
- photo tags
- meta description

Thank you so much. That's exactly what I was looking for. I will surely use your valuable advice :)

By photo tags, do you mean "alt tags" or "visible photo caption text" ?
 
Yes, if naturally done like said by another member above. and do not forget to include LSIs naturally as well.

I totally forgot about it. Thank you, i shall keep that in mind. It's crazy how when you are aware of new details like these, you start seeing things in your competitors' articles that you have been missing all the time.

Certainly gives a new perspective.

I appreciate all your support guys :)
 
Keep it readable for humans. Not for bots. Doesn't matter how it's reapeating.
 
Dont put too many keywords long/ short tail in the articles, do it naturally, use relevant keywords like if your keywords is Picture, use words like images, pics, snaps, photos... the more natural, the more value.

Pleasure is all ours. By the way, I just learned another great thing on Matthew's blog - FAQ snippet. You might want to include it in your onpage efforts. See the links below for the same:

Another thing to keep in mind is that Google is getting better at understanding related keywords.

So for your examples:
  • best fast water phones
  • best speedy phones for water
  • fast aquatic phones
They understand that these keywords all mean the same thing, which is why you are ranking for them without including them in the content.

It won't hurt to include them in your content to help things along. Another good idea is to point some internal links to the page using these LSI keywords. And use them as anchor text when you build links. This helps you to avoid over-optimization by using too many exact match anchors.
 
If you want to use multiple keywords in one article then try LSI keywords. Then your article won't get spammy or ignored. You can find many guides here for LSI keywords just use the search bar.
 
You should use your exact match keyword in your H1, in at least one H2 and a few times in your content. Just don't spam. Don't add it 40 times in a 700 word article. 2 or 3 times per 1000 words should be fine. Just make sure it makes sense when you add it.
 
I've been going with LSI keywords and it really helps to produce long content even if you pick 5-10. Still waiting to see how the articles start to rank. Also from keyword research google seems smarter than years ago, pages ranking for multiple variations etc.
