WIX - problem with On-Page Optimization picking up SEO
-
Hi,
I'm new to here so please be gentle!
I have a WIX site and had it for a few months. I have m own domain sportinglists.com and I am using MOZ to improve the SEO. Having read a few things it seems that I may struggle, given that I have a WIX site.I am playing around with a certain page, that will most likely be the most popular one on the site (fingers crossed), however when I run On-Page Optimization it fails to pick up the following things that I know I have added to the page;
H1 (page title) - I added through the text options
Body text - I added paragraph text and
Image Alt - put in through the settingsIs this because that it is made in WIX that this won't be picked up or is more likely my incompetency?
Thanks

There's no automated way to use Fetch and Render for a word count, it's just a visual representation you'd have to estimate for yourself. (Not really sure there's much use to that kind of counting in most cases anyway.)
Screaming Frog does a decent job of crawling and imitating the crawler if set to imitate Googlebot with JavaScript rendering.

I'm curious about this idea.
On Fetch as Google, where do you look to see how many characters or words Google is reading on your page?asking for quitostreettours.com
Thanks!

Thanks everyone, I'll have a look at these and get back to you

Easiest way to check definitively is to go to the source. Use the Fetch as Google tool in Google Search Console to have a look at what Google sees on your page.

Actually with Screaming Frog, I can see your H1 tags [www.perfectchaosfilms.com] so it appears not to be a problem with all Wix sites.
I an able to see your different H1s, including "Austin corporate video production company" for the homepage.

I experienced the same thing, specifically my heading tags were not showing up in the audit tools I was using. I called Wix support and they told me since their platform is different than other services (Wordpress, etc) that some things wouldn't show up on those kind of 3rd party tools. But they assured me it was all being seen by Google's spiders. So you can take that for what it's worth.
You can take a look at mine for yourself. My site is www.perfectchaosfilms.com and my H1 tag is "Austin corporate video production company." Report tools aren't seeing it but Wix claims Google is.

I don't know WIX websites (though from the quick search I did, it does look like you have your work cut out for you) but I took a look at your site with the Screaming Frog SEO spider.
The crawl picks up a total of 14 pages and the H1s are all the same. (There are also secondary H1s that are mostly the same.) It doesn't pick up the images, although of course I can see that there are images.So I agree with your conclusion that you might have a bit of a struggle. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful--maybe there are some WIX users out there who can share how they overcame these issues.

How to remove 404 pages wordpress
I used the crawl tool and it return a 404 error for several pages that I no longer have published in Wordpress. They must still be on the server somewhere? Do you know how to remove them? I think they are not a file on the server like an html file since Wordpress uses databases? I figure that getting rid of the 404 errors will improve SEO is this correct? Thanks, David

Is it possible to submit a page to the seomoz index?
We recently got added to dmoz and botw and would like to see those links considered in our domain authority as we are tracking our progress and comparing ourselves to other sites. Is it possible to submit links to the seomoz index manually to have those tracked? (If I am even understanding this correctly)

Finding page authority for a list of sites
I went to Distilled's linklove conference earlier this week. Many of the presenters showed spreadsheets where they had pulled in Page Authority for a long list of sites. What tool can you use to quickly do this? For instance, I want to be able to copy a list of 100 sites into a tool and have it spit out the PA for every site...anybody know how to do this?

How can I update On Page Optimization Reports following 301 redirect?
A few weeks ago I ran the SEOMoz On Page Optimization Reports for one of my sites. At the time, the site homepage was duplicated .com/ and .com/index.html (I know!). The On Page Optimisation Reports I ran at the time obviously included both as individual pages. I've now corrected the duplicate issue with a 301 but the On Page Optimization Reports are still looking at the rankings for .com/index.html and therefore showing "not in top 50" for keywords where I'm actually ranking 1st - any idea how I can get the reports to update so they don't continue to look for .com/index.html? Thanks!
