Hi Jack, Watching (studying?) your vids for ~/< 1 year and transitioned from "A" (let's just leave it at the first letter - as no intent to slam anyone) to RM early Jan/24. Your on screen presentations continue to improve - they were not bad/wrong - just that your pursuit of, "always get better" is evident (and they do). Appreciate the deeper explanations and included solutions. My "note" is to thank you for sharing your knowledge (I'm a one person army battling with entities with much larger wallets) and the upbeat, demeanor that is received and applied - as best able. You may have needed to be reinforced that what you do, and the way you are doing it, was right. In my mind, no question. Thank you. -

Great video! But what should you do when your blog has a news category, and inevitably, some content like "How to Decorate a TV Panel" overlaps with a more comprehensive post on "Types of TV Panels"? Thank you!

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. When you have overlapping content in your blog, especially in a news category, it's important to manage it effectively to avoid confusion and ensure that both posts serve their purpose. Here are some strategies you can consider: Link Between Posts: Use internal linking to connect the two posts. For example, in the "How to Decorate a TV Panel" post, you can link to the "Types of TV Panels" post as a resource for readers who want more detailed information about the different types of panels. Differentiate Content: Make sure each post has a unique angle or focus. For instance, the "How to Decorate a TV Panel" could focus on practical tips and ideas for decoration, while the "Types of TV Panels" could provide an overview of the various types available in the market. This way, each post offers distinct value to your readers. Use Categories Wisely: Ensure that your categories are well-defined. If the news category is meant for timely updates or trends, consider how the overlapping content fits into that framework. You might want to categorize one post under a different section if it aligns better with another topic. Update Content Regularly: If one post becomes outdated or less relevant, consider updating it with new information or merging it with the other post if appropriate. This can help maintain the quality and relevance of your content. Utilize Rank Math Features: If you're using Rank Math, you can mark one of the posts as pillar content if it serves as a foundational piece for your niche. This will help you manage internal linking and SEO more effectively. By implementing these strategies, you can ensure that both posts remain valuable to your audience without causing redundancy. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Thank you for another very informative video. Your tool and videos are amazingly helpful. How does this work in a pillar website? If I have a tennis website where each player profile is a pillar post and I aggregate all the news about that player linked back to that profile pillar, how would I configure the keywords? All the articles about Bob Smith will have Bob Smith as a keyword. How do I keep the supporting articles keywords from cannibalizing the Bob Smith profile page?

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. For your pillar post (e.g., "Bob Smith"), choose a primary keyword that accurately represents the content. In this case, "Bob Smith" is the primary keyword. Then, identify related keywords that might be searched for when users seek information about Bob Smith. For example, "Bob Smith tennis career," "Bob Smith Grand Slam wins," "Bob Smith injury updates." To prevent keyword cannibalization between the pillar post and supporting posts: Ensure that the pillar post and supporting posts have distinct focuses. The pillar post should provide a comprehensive overview, while supporting posts should delve into specific topics. Then, create unique and valuable content for both the pillar post and supporting posts. You can also use internal linking to guide users from supporting posts to the pillar post, reinforcing the relationship between the two and avoid excessive keyword repetition.

Another Question Please. Will the 301 redirects refresh on Rank Math and will show only one, after redirection?

[@RankMath]

Hello, and thanks for your comment. In Rank Math, when you set up a 301 redirect, it will not refresh to show only one redirect after the redirection occurs. Instead, the original URL will still be listed in the Redirections section of Rank Math, and it will continue to function as a redirect to the new URL. This means that both the source URL (the old URL) and the destination URL (the new URL) will remain in the system, allowing you to manage and view all your redirects easily. If you want to see how many redirects are set up or manage them, you can always navigate back to Rank Math SEO → Redirections in your WordPress dashboard. rankmath.com/kb/301-vs-302-redirect/ rankmath.com/kb/redirect-types/ Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hi Jack, I am using rank math for my service website, but I still want to try some more features before taking a yearly subscription. So how can I take a monthly subscription, say for 3-6 months?

[@RankMath]

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Rank Math’s subscription and Content AI plans are Billed annually (exclusive of VAT). We can’t add installment options at the moment as we have partnered with FastSpring and they take care of payments for us. You can use the free version for as long as you like. Then consider the PRO when it makes more sense. We do however, offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. During that period, and you see that Rank Math PRO or Content AI does not fit your needs, you can request a refund and our team will process them for you. When you're ready, you can purchase Rank Math PRO here: rankmath.com/pricing/ Content AI Plans here: rankmath.com/content-ai/#pricing Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

I have this problem. As travel comapany . Manaslu trekking and manaslu circuit trekking which are different products but manaslu circuit is longer version of manaslu trekking. While searching manaslu trekking in google manaslu circuit trekking pop ups. So what can i do to rank in this different keywords having same intent

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. It seems you're facing keyword cannibalization. Both "Manaslu trekking" and "Manaslu circuit trekking" are likely targeting similar search intent, which is confusing search engines. To address this, you can, create a comprehensive page covering the general Manaslu trekking experience, including popular routes, permits, and accommodations. Then, create a supporting Page for Manaslu Circuit Trekking that focuses on the unique aspects of the circuit, such as additional days, specific viewpoints, and cultural experiences. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

I think the double quotes " " are phrase match. Exact match is [ ]

[@RankMath]

Hello, and thanks for your comment. " " is for phrase match and [ ] is for exact match in Google Ads. In Google Search, " " is for phrase match and ( ) is used for group search terms together and specify the search order.

How about local services? Example: City and Service Provided? example: Tile and Grout Cleaning in Houston the same as Tile and Grout Cleaning in Dallas? Last question: Houston Tile and Grout Cleaning the same as Tile and Grout Cleaning in Houston? TIA

[@RankMath]

Hello, thank you for your comment. When it comes to local services, the location is often a crucial factor in search queries. For example, "Tile and Grout Cleaning in Houston" is a specific search query targeting a particular city. While "Tile and Grout Cleaning in Houston" and "Tile and Grout Cleaning in Dallas" are similar, they target different geographic areas. Therefore, they are not examples of keyword cannibalization. On Houston Tile and Grout Cleaning vs. Tile and Grout Cleaning in Houston, these two keywords are essentially the same. The shorter version, "Houston Tile and Grout Cleaning," is a more concise way to express the same service in the same location. Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
