Question about using country names specifically, Canada, in focus key phrase.

Talking with co workers and based of my personal searches and looking at search volumes, it seems that many people in Canada search with "Canada" in the query because they want to find retailers in Canada.

I have only been doing SEO at this company for a short time so I don't have enough experience or data to compare results yet. For some of the products and categories I have included Canada in the focus key phrase and excluded in some.

For example "random search query" might have a volume of 3000 but "random search query Canada" has only 300. I feel like there are two sides to the coin, I also would like to rank high without the search term, cuz not all Canadian users are searching with "canada" as a keyword but that query is harder to rank for and many of the users are likely not Canadian.

It seems like adding "canada" especially for a very popular product or category would rank far better for something like "popular-product-name canada" but how much so is what I wonder. I even if I were to omit Canada from the keyphrase, I am still placing it in the meta description and meta title "Shipped anywhere in Canada" "buy online in Canada" etc.

What are you guys thoughts on this? I felt like its kind of a silly question and hard to phrase what I'm asking, but I like this community and would like to hear your thoughts. Specifically it would be nice to hear some thoughts and strategies from others working in ecommerce in Canada.

As always I did a few Google searches but didn't find a similar thread.

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...
