How do Moz tools handle signs for "PHRASE" and [EXACT MATCH] KW queries?
-
Hello,
As some of my projects are in competitive niche markets, I often chase exact match KW to handle with.
However, when using 'Moz >> Keyword Difficulty Report' I'm getting SAME Search Volume result - regardless using broad match, phrase or exact match KWs. Have I missed something?
Ranking result's and are however different and seems to correspond to different type of KW search ( which type of KW all its.
Please share some light on this.

The reply to the question is in reference to the 'Keyword Difficulty Tool'. For my own clarification does the statement "...our system automatically assumes whatever you enter as exact match by default." apply to all the MOZ tools, specifically the 'Keyword Ranking Reports'?
Searching on Google for the following, phase1tech.com comes up in the positions indicated:
CameraLink Cameras (#12)
"CameraLink Cameras" (#5)
[CameraLink Cameras] (#12) (it is my understanding that you can't do an exact match search on Google)MOZ's 'Keyword Ranking Tool/Report' indicates they are at positions #5. As such I assume the results are based on "exact match".
If that is the case I am wondering how many users actually use quotes when performing their searches. -
Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us! That's a great question What you are seeing in the keyword difficulty search is our tool using an exact match query into our funnel to pull your data, which is how our tool queries the search engines. Since we don't do broad matching on our end, that's the reason you are seeing identical search volumes. So while you are correct in using exact match quotations "." our system automatically assumes whatever you enter as exact match by default.
That of course I am seeing in some of the ranking results in your account, where small differences such as "woman" vs. "women" will pull up different results as the case that they are different words. Since our tools uses exact match as a default there would be no need to use quotation or brackets to direct us to pull exact matches
Best,

Getting relevant keywords from URL with Google KW Tool.
Hi, When I first start researching a site, I like to see what Google "thinks" it is relevant to. I use the Google KW Tool and enter the website URL only. I sort the results by relevance. I can then show the prospective client what Google thinks his site is optimized for and use that info to show him what opportunities exist to rank for terms more relevant to his business. I show him keyword, volume and I also get current SERP rank for his site. For larger sites, I do this for the top pages based Domain Authority. I want to automate this process using excel and APIs but Google refused my API token request. I told them I wanted to use the "Google AdWords API Extension for Excel" from http://seogadget.co.uk/google-adwords-plugin-excel. The Google API token team replied: Please note, after reviewing your application in detail, we are sorry to let you know that we won't be able to approve your token. We understand that you are planning to use the AdWords API mainly for Targeting Idea Service (TIS) and Traffic Estimation Service (TES) such as 'keyword research'. Please note that as per the Required Minimum Functionality (RMF) outlined in the API Terms & Conditions, using the AdWords API exclusively for TIS and TES type of services is not allowed. Q1: What does the KW Tool relevancy data mean, anyway? Q2: is there another way to get it or is there another way to do this? Q3: Is there a better approach I should take with the Google API team? Q4: Are there other APIs and Excel plugins that can do this, including the SEOMoz APIs? Thanks,
