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.

Page with "Missing Title Tag" isn't a page
Hello, I am going through the various errors that the Moz Pro Crawl report and some non-existent pages keep coming up in the report. For example, one error category is "Missing Title Tag" with one page identified. But this page http://www.immigroup.com/news/“http%3A/crs.yorku.ca”?page=2 isn't real. It would have been a 404 were there not a redirect for everything that is /news/gobbledygook to /news. So my question is: when moz (or GA for that matter) identifies these pages as "real" and having errors, do I need to take this seriously? And what do I do about it? Thanks! George

Listing of all Google Indexed Pages
I started managing a site that has about 391,000 indexed pages. I want to get to the bottom of why there are so many in preparation for a ecommerce Migration and improving SEO. Anyone know of a tool? Many tools I have came across can only take 100 at a time. I would love to get them in excel or a database. I look forward to the suggestions.

How long will it take for Page Rank (or Page Authority) to flow via a 301 redirect?
I've recently redeveloped a static site using WordPress and have created 301 redirects for the original urls to the new urls. I know I won't get all the value passed via the 301, but I'm hoping some will. Any idea how long this may take? It's been nearly a month since the changeover so wondering if it would be weeks, months or more?

How to Optimize a Home Page?
Can anyone advise on what is the best way to optimise the home page? Many websites I see include the target(focus) keywords from other pages on the home page. Is this self competition? "Avoid Keyword Self-Cannibalization- It's a best practice in SEO to target each keyword with a single page on your site" If an e-commerce website has 4 levels in the SEO architecture. Home Page, Brand Pages(Category), Range pages(sub-category) and individual product pages. It would seem that the main keywords would be within the category(brands) level of a website. However many websites I see include these on the home page as well. Could someone please clarify this? I do not recall seeing the report card saying Self-Cannibalization when these keywords(category level) are listed on the home page. However I could be wrong, Please could someone advise on what SEO MOZs recommendations are for best practise on optimizing a home page so that it does not compete with category pages, or other pages on the website. Thanks

New to the SEO game
Hello everyone! I am fairly new to this SEO game and it all seems a little overwelming. Let me tell you a little about my experience. I have been trying for a couple years to get the ranking up on my LawnAide site and it seems at times that I keep spinning my wheels. Ive been doing blogs getting links with high ranking sites and all the other stuff. But on the local search there are still smaller companies which lower ranking sites performing better that mine. This gets very frustrating. Is there any advise out there?

Why are these pages considered duplicate page content?
A recent crawl diagnostic for a client's website had several new duplicate page content errors. The problem is, I'm not sure where the error comes from since the content in the webpage is different from one another. Here's the pages that SEOMOZ reported to have duplicate page content errors: http://www.imaginet.com.ph/wireless-internet-service-providers-term http://www.imaginet.com.ph/antivirus-term http://www.imaginet.com.ph/berkeley-internet-name-domain http://www.imaginet.com.ph/customer-premises-equipment-term The only thing similar that I see is the headline which says "Glossary Terms Used in this Site" - I hope that the one sentence is the reason for the error. Any input is appreciated as I want to find out the best solution for my client's website errors. Thanks!
