Blog Post Updates vs Keyword Blog Posts

Hey guys, first time posting here!

I'm running into a potential keyword cannibalization issue on my site.

I create weekly blog posts that serve as more of an update on what the company has been up to, but also offer sales links.

I also have a bunch of product pages that I'm trying to rank for, for specific keywords.

When I go to write the weekly blog post update, I have the option of optimizing it for keywords in Yoast (I use WordPress). However, any of the keywords I would choose, that the blog post covers, are keywords I already may try to rank for on the product pages, or be ranking already.

I feel as though I may be missing an opportunity to rank my blog posts if I don't optimize my blog post updates for keywords. They offer a lot of value and see solid traffic.

Is it a bad idea to try to rank for the same keywords I may have on other pages of my site in these blog posts? Should I disregard any keyword optimization for these blog posts entirely and just keep it to the product landing pages?

If anyone has run into this, I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
