      So I'm working with a client who has no heading tags on his site and I'm wondering if there is an ideal method to implementing these on the product pages specifically, as the wording I ideally want to specify is is the product title, which i can't really code with an H1.

      Has anyone run into this issue? If so, what was your solution?

      Also, how vital are these heading tags on the product pages, anyways?

      If the Volusion SEO expert could chime in, that would be much appreciated.

      Thanks everyone!

          Hi Jason, the

          concern will be addressed with the release of Volusion's new theme engine. I expect this to be available this year, perhaps Q3. Along with this concern, the entire Volusion interface will be modernized and the new framework will enable unprecedented optimization options across categories and products. More information will be available soon.

          As for your 300+ pages of duplicate content, it's very unlikely this is an

          issue. Have you tried entering one of your URLs into a free service like copyscape.com ? This could help you identify what content is duplicate. Furthermore, If you'd like to provide your store, I'll take a look and get back to you ASAP with a recommendation.

          Regards,

          Nathan Joynt

            I just wanted to check in with this question and see if the latest versions of volusion now incorporate h1 automatically, or if i still need to go into the html on each page and add my h1's manually? Moz says i have over 300 pages of duplicate content, I think because there are no h1 tags with my new volusion store?

              Hi Paul, thank you for your patience. And thank you everyone else as well. I did get this entered into product for 2014. I do not know currently exact timing, although I will keep you posted.

                Any update on fixing this in Volusion?  It seems so simple just to wrap the page title in H1 rather than having users go through thousands of product pages and manually adding H1 titles to the descriptions.

                      Nathan,

                      Thanks for your response. The domain name is www.Oransi.com and I did use Tamara's advice, which worked for the most part. Certain variables came into play that I wasn't expecting, but overall that did fix my issue. However, if you could indeed suggest to the V13 product team about using product names as H1s, I believe your clientele would benefit indeed.

                      Thanks to everyone who helped here.

                        Hello,

                        Yes, Tamara is correct with her suggestion to include the

                        within the Description 'HTML Editor' area. I can talk with the V13 product team as well about the ability to treat the product name as the

                        . I like to use actual merchant examples in my product optimization requests. Would you mind telling me the domain so I can include it in the story?

                        Kind regards,

                          Ah Volusion. Yes, we've run into this issue.  Unfortunately, you can't add an

                          around the logical spot for the product name (at the top of the page below the crumb trail)  So what we've done, and had very good results from in long tail / product-based search results, is to repeat the product name (sometimes with a bit of a keyword tweak) as the leading data in the product description area - where you do have control over the HTML.

                          Here's an example:  https://www.diigo.com/item/image/3y63p/5pnd?size=o

                          The CSS which styles the H1's was edited to match the product name display at the top of the page, for consistency.

                          In order to quickly implement this run of site for all products, we used the CONCAT function in Excel to append the tags, and generally used the "productname" value to populate the heading text, then appended the closing tag + the actual description, and then just inserted back into the db.

                          CAVEAT:  If you're pulling a product feed back out of Volusion, you'll want to strip the HTML out of that description, in order to not get wonky behavior in the CSE's (comparison shopping engines).

                          Hope that helps - if not, and there's anything else I can add - please let me know.

                          Cheers!

                            Keyword appearing on almost every slug of product pages = over-optimizatio

                            slug product pages

                            Hello all, I have an online store, let's say for example I sell forks of all kinds and colors. So naturally, I have 'product category' pages with titles and slugs like: Big forks
                            Small forks
                            Plastic forks
                            Red fork
                            etc.. And plenty of product pages with slugs and H1 like: Small red fork
                            Large plastic fork
                            18th-century fork
                            etc... Some category pages are well-ranked, others are not, the same goes for product pages. The problem is that for the main keyword, 'fork' (exact query in the search console), my site is completely absent. Google should logically have referenced my homepage (which has links to all categories) for this main keyword. I have also optimized the page for it, without overdoing it. I wonder if it's not because I have a lot of pages with 'fork' in the slug, and perhaps Google thinks it's too much (even though it's logical for this word to be present in all product pages because it's an essential word to describe the product). I wonder if I should not modify half of my product pages to remove the word 'fork' from the slug...(only from the slug, without touching the H1 because removing the word 'fork' would remove its meaning). Do you have any experiences with this kind of issue? I wouldn't ask the question if my homepage was behind the competition, but it's completely absent. Thanks

                            Value of using spaces or no spaces on product category page varient keywords

                            keywords page grader several search terms category page

                            Hello, all fellow Mozzers,
                            I have taken over a project and this account, so can't change the username according to MOZ.🙃 We run an eCommerce website, and to me, some of the content is conflicting as some pages have more information content than what I would put in a commerce page, but this is how the boss wants it to work, personally, I would separate the content out.
                            The page I'm working on:
                            https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/205-70-14.html
                            and this is an example of the rest of these types of pages, I will be tackling:
                            https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/125-15.html I was tasked to improve SEO ranking, when using the MOZ page grader I had a score of 24 out of 27 83% SEO score and 3-page problems. 7th position in Google for the search term 205/70 R14 As it is a generic product listing page, It was pointless to add to the URL and the Internal links I can't reduce as these are links to products, so I went to reduce the
                            keyword stuffing and making the page content more natural, this improved the page to 25 out of 27, 87% SEO score and 2-page problems. Improvement to 3rd position in Google, but he wants to chase 1st place to be above his competitors, which is fair enough. It turns out that in the past, they have used this type of page to try and get a high ranking for several search terms, as it is a different variation on a tyre size terms are:
                            205/70 R14, 205/70R14, 205/70 R 14
                            205/70 X 14, 205/70X14, 205/70 X14
                            and so on for all the different ways you can search for this tyre size. He is also convinced Google will see these as different search terms, and while I agree to an extent, this causes Keyword Stuffing on the page, which in turn was harming the rankings. Each product listed on the page already has its own title 205/70 R14, 205/70 HR14 and so on, so my question is. What is the best practice for writing content on these types of pages to gain high rankings for several Keywords, and what value does writing the same keyword with spaces and no spaces have? Any help or advice is welcome, so I have a better understanding of how to approach this for this page and the rest of the site. Cheers Mal

                            Commas in title tags

                            Hello Guys, Thanks in advance for all who can help me with this I am helping a dinnerware company with their SEO. I told them to change their ambiguous  title tags for more specific ones. However, they opted to create some title tags with 2 or three keywords separated by commas. I have attached an excel image illustrating their new title tags.. My question is, will this format be a problem with Google--penalties? The questionable title tags are highlighted in light orange. Thanks! lHH92

                            Listing all services on one page vs separate pages per service

                            My company offers several generalized categories with more specific services underneath each category. Currently the way it's structured is if you click "Voice" you get a full description of each voice service we offer. I have a feeling this is shooting us in the foot. Would it be better to have a general overview of the services we offer on the "Voice" page that then links to the specified service? The blurb about the service on the overview page would be unique, not taken from the actual specific service's page.

                            I have a client who recieved this advice from his marketing consultant: "If there are multiple h1 tags on a page, this can confuse Google and it may have a negative impact on the keyword rankings. If you could ask your web developer to go in and remove the h1 tags on the header images that would be helpful. This way it will be easier for Google to index your site and will help your keyword rankings." How will it effect SEO to have multiple h1 tags on a page?

                            Pagination for product page reviews

                            Hi, I am looking to add pagination on product pages (they have lots of reviews on the page). I am considering using rel="next/prev, to connect the series of review pages to the main product page. I unfortunately don't have a view-all page for these reviews or the option to get one - the reviews refresh on the same product page (by clicking whatever number page of reviews). This means each page has the exact same description content and everything else, but with different reviews. In this case is rel=next a good option? The format currently would be: On example.com/product link rel="next" href="http://example.com/product?review-p2" On example.com/product?review-p2 link rel="prev" href="http://example.com/product, link rel="next" href="http://example.com/product?review-p3 etc. Would this be a good format for product page reviews? I see rel=nextprev commonly used on ecommerce category/list pages but not really on the paginated reviews on product pages, so I thought I would see if anyone has advice on how best to solve this. I'm also wondering if it would be best to not combine this with a canonical tag on all the different review pages pointing to the product page, seeing as the reviews are actually different (despite the rest of the content being identical). I am hoping to pick up longer tail traffic from this, I figure by connecting the pages and not using canonicals that this way I could get more traffic from the phrases used in the reviews. By leaving out the canonicals, is it possible a user searching for phrases that might be deeper in the series, to land on, say, ?review-p4? Any thoughts if this would drive more traffic? Thanks!.

                            Different page for each product colour?

                            Hi Guys, I've just read an ecommerce article that suggests it's a good idea to have a different page for each colour that the product comes in. However surely this will mean duplicate content? What are your thoughts? Have you put this tactic into motion and how did it go? Thanks, Dan

                            One site with one product or multi product website

                            Lets suppose that i have 10 NICHE products under me. Should i make one site for each product or one site overall. If i make 1 site for each product i get several advantages Domain name has keyword Title tags etc will be dedicated to one keyword only. Disavantage - Backlinking for each domain will become tougher. Advantage of one site onl Good management Seo / backlinks becomes easier Blogging to attract traffic becomes easier Can target a lot of keywords through business blogging Disadvantages Can become messy with unimportant keywords gaining importance. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK??? One site per product or One site for all products?
