Help With This Page
-
This is page - http://www.kempruge.com/location/tampa/tampa-personal-injury-legal-attorneys/ - is the most important one to my business, and I can't seem to get it to rank higher. It has the second highest authority and links, second only to my homepage (though none are all that impressive) but it is just buried in the SERPs. Granted, I know Tampa Personal Injury Attorney is the hardest keyword for us to rank for, but there must be some way to improve this.
I know getting high quality links is an appropriate answer, but I'm looking for anything I can do solely on my end to improve it. However, if anyone has some ways to make the page more linkable, I'm all ears!
Please, if you have a second to take a look, I'd appreciate any and all feedback.
Thanks,
Ruben

Great suggestions above.
I have many legal clients in all of your practice areas so this is hitting close to home and i think you could improve in so many ways. One suggestion below.
Show some indicators on your home page via an in-content internal link to the PI page you mentioned .
Also you have two pages competing for the personal injury keyword. Choose one page to target the personal injury keyword. Choose one page and add your office locations to the footer.
Maybe optimize your image name http://www.kempruge.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/90201067_8.jpg but do not over optimize.
You could also benefit from some additional link building to the page you want to rank.

By all means be blunt, and I really appreciate that you were. Thank you very much!

I didn't dig deep into your site but here are some initial thoughts. I’m going to be blunt but please don’t take it personally. Take the information for what it is, just information and my thoughts.
Page Thoughts:
- The actual copy on the page is a little hard to read and doesn't seem like it came from you. You seem to be missing some words and the overall thought seems to be lacking.
Here are the last two sentences of your first paragraph:
"When you are represented by a Tampa Personal Injury Attorney with Kemp & Ruge, you get the individual attention you deserve. represent you as your Tampa Car Accident Attorney, you will be getting a group of professionals who put their clients first."
For an attorney website, I would expect better than this.
- You have a “link cloud” below your copy
“If you are even thinking about hiring an attorney for your personal injury case, please consult with an injury attorney. Click here for your: Pasco County Personal Injury Attorney, Hernando County Personal Injury Attorney,Pinellas County Personal Injury Attorney, Hillsborough County Personal Injury Attorney, Tampa Personal Injury, Clearwater Personal Injury Attorney, Land O’ Lakes Personal Injury Attorney, Lutz Personal Injury Attorney, Odessa Personal Injury Attorney, New Port Richey Personal Injury Attorney, Spring Hill Personal Injury Attorney, Tarpon Springs Personal Injury Attorney, and Palm Harbor Personal Injury Attorney.”
This, personally, sends mixed signals to Google about what your page is about. (You seem to have this on almost all your pages.) Internal linking is important, but how you do it is just as important.
- At the bottom of your copy, you have multiple addresses on the page. Again, I feel this sends mixed signals to Google and doesn’t really help users who land on this page. Having a consistent NAP (Name, Address and Phone Number) will help both Google know that this page is meant for Tampa and users to get exactly what they are looking for.
Recommendations:
-
New copy/content on the page. I would talk about what makes Tampa unique in the Personal Injury Law space. Maybe talk about how the process works in Tampa when you get injured. Talk about a little of the history of Tampa and why Tampa, specifically is a great location to live but that “even in paradise, injuries occur.” (Just throwing out ideas)
-
I would make this page a sort of landing page for your Tampa Office. I would add schema markup for local business (http://schema.org/LocalBusiness) and include a Google map of the location to help people find you. I know that it’s an appointment only location but this should help.
-
When you write your blog posts and mention the word Tampa, I would link, internally, to this page. This will help set up a strong internal link structure with location information that will help Google know that this page is specifically for Tampa. The keywords on your page and how outside sources link to it should do the rest.
4)In your footer, you have the locations listed, I would make the Title of each location a link to that specific page. The Tampa Office should link to the page we are discussing.
Like I said at the beginning, I didn’t dive deep into your site but these are my quick observations and recommendations.
-
Once you have your google local pages setup try getting reviews, it's a long run type approach that may allow you to outshine others locally.

Yeah, I really thought Finebloom would be gone by now, especially considering what I read about it here. We've definitely not put as much into local seo as we should have, but we will start.
Thanks!

SoleGraphics has it. Try to get into the local results.
... and if that don't work try video spam like the guys at Finebloom. I can't believe that those are still killing the SERPs for major cities all over Florida.

Have you tried some local SEO stuff? Moz has a crap load of info on that. http://moz.com/blog/top-20-local-search-ranking-factors-an-illustrated-guide

Pillar pages and blog pages
Hello, I was watching this video about pillar pages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db3TpDZf_to and tried to apply it to my self but find it impossible to do (but maybe I am looking at it the wrong way). Let's say I want to rank on "Normandy bike tou"r. I created a pillar page about "Normandy bike tour" what would be the topics of the subpages boosting that pillar page. I know that it should be questions people have but in the tourism industry they don't have any, they just want us to make them dream !! I though about doing more general blog pages about things such as : Places to rent a bike in Normandy or in XYZ city ? ( related to biking) Or the landing sites in Normandy ? (not related to biking) Is it the way to do it, what do you recommend ? Thank you,

Exact match .org Ecommerce: Reason why internal page is ranking over home page
Hello, We have a new store where an internal category page (our biggest category) is moving up ahead of the home page. What could be the reason for this? It's an exact match .org. Over-optimization? Something else? It happened both when I didn't optimize the home page title tag and when I did for the main keyword, i.e. mainkeyword | mainkeyword.org, or just mainkeyword.org Home Page. Both didn't help with this. We have very few backlinks. Thanks

URL Errors Help - 350K Page Not Founds in 22 days
Got a good one for you all this time... For our site, Google Search Console is reporting 436,758 "Page Not Found" errors within the Crawl Error report. This is an increase of 350,000 errors in just 22 days (on Sept 21 we had 87,000 errors which was essentially consistently at that number for the previous 4 months or more). Then on August 22nd the errors jumped to 140,000, then climbed steadily from the 26th until the 31st reaching 326,000 errors, and then climbed again slowly from Sept 2nd until today's 436K. Unfortunately I can only see the top 1,000 erroneous URLs in the console, of which they seem to be custom Google tracking URLs my team uses to track our pages. A few questions: 1. Is there anyway to see the full list of 400K URLs Google is reporting they cannot find?

Page not appearing in SERPs
I have a regional site that does fairly well for most towns in the area (top 10-20). However, one place that has always done OK and has great content is not anywhere within the first 200. Everything looks OK, canonical link is correct, I can find the page if I search for exact text, there aren't any higher ranking duplicate pages. Any ideas what may have happened and how I can confirm a penalty for example. TIA,

And can anyone tell me how frequently Google crawls for new editors (if that's possible?)

301 Redirect for 2500 pages
Hi, We have an existing site done in DNN and we recreated it on a new platform (EPiServer) and now we're going live. However, there are 2500+ page URLs from the old site which is not exisitng on the new site. What do you reckon is the best way we can address this? Do we create a 301 redirect individually for each of these pages? These 2500+ pages have a domain authority 34-35 and I think it's best that we retain those. We'll be using the same domain name. Suggestions for ways to approach this issue would be greatly appreciated. I have access to the server and IIS. *Also, how do I create a virtual page in IIS? and redirect it to another URL within the site? Thanks.
