I know that "noise words" and punctuation in the search term doesn't count, the search engine just ignore them, but what about articles and web content? Punctuation: Is "painters in Phoenix AZ" consider the same keyword as:" ...painters. In Phoenix AZ".....? Noise words: Is "painters in Phoenix AZ" is the same as "painters Phoenix AZ"? Plural: Is "painters" the same keyword as "painter"? Capital: Is "SEO" is the same as "seo" thank you very much for the help
The simple easy answer is to take your exact phrases above. Search them in Google. Are the results the same? I'm too lazy to do it right now. The reality is they are so close that within the context of an article it will make little or no difference. How would you even go about testing it?
Great question. I am also curious and would like to hear from someone who is (or claims to be) an expert with regards to SEO article/content writing. It's not easy to put "painters Phoenix AZ" and make it a proper sentence, putting this in the title tag is one thing but incorporating this text into the actual content has always been difficult for me. However, I'm pretty sure that there is a difference between singular and plural - such as "painter" and "painters."
I'm ranked 36 for "Atlanta wedding photographers" and 47th for "Atlanta wedding photographer" so plurals do make a difference.
Ya tats true enough plurals make a lot of difference. However, putting painters Phoenix AZ or painters in Phoenix AZ does not make much difference as such and you can get desired results by any way.
