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.

SEO best practices and online store?
Hey guys, I'm just starting a company and had a few questions regarding how we should structure our online store. The store is currently selling skins for consoles, phones - and we have wall decals too, as well as fridge wraps. I was wondering if anyone had advice on the best structure of things? Should I, for instance, have a single "Xbox One Wrap" product page with multiple variations as an option? Or should I have individual product pages for each different style? I feel like putting all the weight on a single Xbox One Wrap page is great, but I also feel like having more content out there for each product probably isn't terrible either? Suggestions? The site is www.FapWrap.com so you can check it out - it's original photos we are taking of adult stars, but eventually will be for "Sexy" people in general. Heh.

SEOmoz Not Picking Up Links
I'm finding that SEOmoz often doesn't pick up on many of the links my client's websites are attaining. The links do appear in search engine and often have a high domain authority (often PR links, which I why I follow up to see if they've been picked up). I do tend to see many of the links appear in webmaster tools, so it's a little frustrating that they don't appear, even after months of pages being live. Thoughts?

Moztool and on page ranking matching
How does the Moztool compare and filter the search phrases you enter in your campaign? Or more correctly, will it filter out stop words or is it an exact match? For example I enter a phrase to track that say: "book ski trip austria" Identified in Google I see that most users search for just that "book ski trip austria" But in content, I cant write that as that is uncorrect english and I want to maby write something like: "When you book a ski trip to austria you get..." How will this affect my on page SEO report, will it still match and mark a "V" in done or show a an error? Even more interesting is, what happen if you do phrases in different order like "An austrian skip trip will make you feel..."

On-page Optimization Grade Change
I can see the grade change for my on-page optimization in the weekly email, however, when I load the summary page on only rank change shows, grade change is blank across the board. I also tried downloading and see the same results. Is this a bug on the website? Thanks!
