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.

Product page as homepage
Hello, Is it ok that to use the homepage of website as a product page directly where you present all your products on your homepage or can it penalise you to do that ? and in that case, is it better to have a homepage that you don't rank and create a subpage for your product page. Thank you,

Language Tunnel - Help!
Hi, First post here. A few months back (before they were my client), my client updated their site to include a language tunnel. It looks like some other updates were made as well to "prettify" the site's URLs. Unfortunately, after this update, lots of well-ranking landing pages are now completely gone with no redirects in place. Normally, I would just give them a list of these old pages and say "301 Redirect" to X page. However, as part of this site update, they added country code into the mix. So now, instead of just 6 or 7 languages, we are looking at 30-40 permutations of language and country (with some countries having multiple languages). The functionality of the new site is fine, but all of the old 404s are not being kind to the search engine traffic. My question is: what's the best way to resolve this problem? These old pages usually specify a language code (but no country code). So, for example, I am thinking of redirecting all of the Spanish 404 urls to a Spanish "country tunnel". However, this is obviously not the same as what we had before, where the actual pages were indexed. Since my old pages no longer exist and I've got this country problem now (to stand in the way of a straightforward redirect), is there any way to appease the SEO gods on this?

Ecommerce category pages
Hi there, I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I work on a lot of webshops that are made by the same company. I don't like to say this, but not all of their shops perform great SEO-wise. They use a filtering system which occasionally creates hundreds to thousands of category pages. Basically what happens is this: A client that sells fashion has a site (www.client.com). They have 'main categories' like 'Men' 'Women', 'Kids', 'Sale'. So when you click on 'men' in the main navigation, you get www.client.com/men/. Then you can filter on brand, subcategory or color. So you get: www.client.com/men/brand. Basically, the url follows the order in which you filter. So you can also get to 'brand' via 'category': www.client.com/shoes/brand Obviously, this page has the same content as www.client.com/brand/shoes or even /shoes/brand/black and /men/shoes/brand/black if all the brands' shoes happen to be black and mens' shoes. Currently this is fixed by a dynamic canonical system that canonicalizes the brand/category combinations. So there can be 8000 url's on the site, which canonicalize to about 4000 url's. I have a gut feeling that this is still not a good situation for SEO, and I also believe that it would be a lot better to have the filtering system default to a defined order, like /gender/category/brand/color so you don't even need to use these excessive amounts of canonicalization. Because, you can canonicalize the whole bunch, but you'd still offer thousands of useless pages for Google to waste its crawl budget on. Not to mention the time saved when crawling and analysing using Screaming Frog or other audit tools. Any opinions on this matter?

What is the benefit of directory pages?
I recently started at a new job running ecommerce websites. We sell yoga equipment and on 2 of our sites we built directory pages for yoga studios to list their calendars and whatnot. They are pretty old and out of date, but my question is, is there any benefit to these types of directories? If they do, we need to look at refreshing them. But if not, then they need to go. One of them is here. http://www.everythingyoga.com/studios.aspx Like I said, it is out of date.

Should my back links go to home page or internal pages
Right now we rank on page 2 for many KWs, so should i now focus my attention on getting links to my home page to build domain authority or continue to direct links to the internal pages for specific KWs? I am about to write some articles for several good ranking sites and want to know whether to link my company name (same as domain name) or KW to the home page or use individual KWs to the internal pages - I am only allowed one link per article to my site. Thanks Ash

Why does our business directions page rank above business profile page
Hi All, We are having an issue at the moment where our business direction page is ranking above the main business profile page. Our website is zodio.com, similar to Yelp but for South East Asia. An example of each page is below: Business Profile Page - http://www.zodio.com/business/detail/126037914/chowking Business Directions - http://www.zodio.com/business/direction/126037914 On many of our long tail searches for particular businesses, the business directions rank above the business details. Does anyone have any idea of why this would happen? I have researched Yelp and they do not have this issue. A few search examples in Google are as follows (one is in Thai): agonos dental clinic เวิลด์ชาร์มมิ่ง kawanku elektrik I have been rattling my brain and search for answers but cannot find anything. The communities help would be much appreciated. Many Thanks, Neil W

Merge content pages together to get one deep high quality content page - good or not !?
Hi, I manage the SEO of a brand poker website that provide ongoing very good content around specific poker tournaments, but all this content is split into dozens of pages in different sections of the website (blog section, news sections, tournament section, promotion section). It seems like today having one deep piece of content in one page has better chance to get mention / social signals / links and therefore get a higher authority / ranking / traffic than if this content was split into dozens of pages. But the poker website I work for and also many other website do generate naturally good content targeting long tail keywords around a specific topic into different section of the website on an ongoing basis. Do you we need once a while to merge those content pages into one page ? If yes, what technical implementation would you advice ? (copy and readjust/restructure all content into one page + 301 the URL into one). Thanks Jeremy

Deep Page is Ranking for Main Keyword, But I Want the Home Page to Rank
A deep page is ranking for a competitive and essential keyword, I'd like the home page to rank. The main reasons are probably: This specific page is optimized for just that keyword. Contains keyword in URL I've optimized the home page for this keyword as much as possible without sacrificing the integrity of the home page and the other keywords I need to maintain. My main question is: If I use a 301 redirect on this deep page to the home page, am I risking my current ranking, or will my home page replace it on the SERPs? Thanks so much in advance!
