I don’t know enough about it.
Meryl Pearlstein

I have to when I write for certain outlets. It’s a requirement.

Do you ever use Pinterest for researching SEO or keywords? Why or why not?
Andrea James
55:01
How do you have the analytics on the right side of the screen?
Laura Paquet
57:14
I have the same question as Andrea—how do you get those keyword analytics when searching on Google?
David Swanson
57:22
Curious to know how often Cat Hamm used these techniques in editing freelance stories. Asking for a friend…
Irene S. Levine
57:31
Is it helpful to literally include the questions in the text of your post?

A really good site to use to search keywords is UberSuggest.
Kate Schoenbach
01:02:10
Are there similar keyword trend analytics for YouTube?

QUESTION: When you say answering the questions Google shows improves SEO … do you have to include the question in your article or is Google able to tell you’ve answered who has the best deals on cruises?

Thank you!
Theresa Medoff

can't you use multiple key words?

01:05:28
Do you recommend YOAST SEO for WordPress formats? Regular or Premium membership?
April Orcutt
01:07:16
Would you list ALL of those various cruise search terms in your tags?
Toby Saltzman
01:07:34
Great question, Catharine. I just realized that I am so far behind, because I do my main research contacting the cruise lines directly, although I do scan google.
Meryl Pearlstein
01:07:54
Are you responsible for creating the “title” of the page, versus the “headline”? Not sure how to do that or if I’m responsible for that.
Evelyn Kanter
01:08:26
Please address keyword cannibalization.
Amy Sherman
01:11:30
For those of us writing for national or international outlets how would you leverage this information?
Jody Halsted
01:12:38
Understanding search intent is key. You can use keywords but if you don't know the search intent behind them you may not be hitting the mark.
April Orcutt
01:12:54
Why might "best" NOT get hits?
April Orcutt
01:13:18
Opps -- that's a WHY question. :-)
jane mundy
01:13:19
my editor (print and online) often changes my title - got to ask him if that is decided due to SEO. Is this the main reason why editors change it now?
Theresa Medoff
01:14:16
Your editor might have two headlines-one for print and one for online.

01:14:22
One of my editors changes title and headline for the SEO words...

Could you suggest good key words for travel writers we can use to drive traffic to our websites?
courtney@realfoodtraveler.com courtney@realfoodtraveler.com
01:16:19
KWfinder.com is a great tool. It's paid but very helpful.
Talek Nantes

Keysearch is a cheap tool which is pretty good.
Bond, GutsyTraveler.com
01:17:04
YOAST?
Ramaa Reddy
01:19:00
Can you type out that search term?

And won't Google punish you if they think you are keyword stuffing?

How do you use Search Console for keyword research?
Rebecca Joy Bingham

Roadtrip in a convertible
Nancy Marshall
01:28:43
I think the term road trip is more 'hip' than car trip.
April Orcutt
01:29:16
If this seminar goes long, I'm fine with that.
mtluongo@gmail.com mtluongo@gmail.com
01:29:26
car trip I think is more commuting trips versus vacations for road trips
Carolyn Ray
01:33:05
What about length of article, does it make a difference with SEO?
mtluongo@gmail.com mtluongo@gmail.com
01:34:27
Vani - there was a sidebar with 'keyword suggestion' or something in your Google page - is that an add-on or extension?
Kate Schoenbach
01:34:31
How does this this apply to video and photo journalism? Should we use SEO in our text titles and summaries of the visual stories?
Irene S. Levine
01:35:35
Thanks, Catherine. Perfect.
Brian Major
01:36:02
I've herd Twitter has an especially powerful search function. Do you agree and do you use Twitter in searches?
Meryl Pearlstein
01:37:08
What if there are two key topics — can you use multiples of two different keywords?
Nancy Marshall
01:37:38
Google is like Santa Claus. It knows whether you have been bad or good and it will either reward you with presents or give you coal in your stocking.

01:38:35
As a publisher and editor, I almost always change the title and headers based on the keyword research I do on the story that has been submitted to me.
David Swanson
01:39:34
Do headlines along the lines of “X ways to XYZ” have value in terms of SEO?
Theresa Medoff
01:40:33
Catherine and Vani: Do your publications use different headlines for the same article in print and online? Might you rewrite the first few paragraphs for online as well for keyword optimization?

lbleiberg@gmail.com lbleiberg@gmail.com
01:43:11
What about topics and angles that don’t rank because no one has really written about it? Is there a place for these? How can we use these keyword concepts to give these stories a chance online?
