Homepage SEO optimization
-
Hello,
I’m almost ready to lunch my new website https://thetravelhoop.com , I just need to create the content of the product page and put all the images.
I would like to know what you think in terms of SEO of the home page (is the content that I want to rank the most).
My doubt is that since it is a landing page, there is not a lot of
text but mostly <h>. It’s not a styling decision of course (I know is bad practice) but mostly because they are supposed to be title/headings.</h>
Do you think I’m doing something wrong, or do you have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Daniele

The home page of your website deserves your attention for a number of different reasons.
Even if they land on any other pages of your website, it is frequently the first page that users see and it is also one of the pages that users will visit.
They will visit your landing page to figure out more about your blog or business.
SEO-wise, this is very important because it gives Google a big clue about what the website is all about.

I am sure it would help you to understand the complete concept.

Hi Daniel,
you should use your main keyword and its different variations very carefully, also mention your city name if you are trying to rank locally. making anchors on different variations of keywords and city names and linking them with other pages of the website will also help you. you can get an idea here on my website. https://breslik.com/

How can I optimise my seo on depressionals I'm looking forward an answer.

- I would recommend you to work on your website UX/UI, You should consider user experience and user's intent. It will help you a lot in ranking. I improved mine by following the MOZ tips at https://pakistanforces.com/. I would definitely recommend this.

I would suggest your website should be optimized in a way that users can easily find solution to their problems, like there is a website https://lovingdollbeauty.com I am working on seo for this website, but we are improving the website slowly, the home page should be designed professionally, we will implement many things in future as well, I will post those things later.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Did you take a look at my website https://thetravelhoop.com ?
I sell professional hula hoop and, on the homepage, as you can see I talk all the time about that.
The only thing is that where you now see butterfly pictures, I’ll put hula hoop images.About my first question in the first post, do you think I’m doing something wrong, or do you have any suggestions?
My question is not generic, is really specific about the use of andThanks a lot,

Hi Daniele,
I think your homepage should have some text that describes what the website is about and what services/products do you offer. A great place to get ideas would be for you to see the top ranking websites for the keywords you want to rank for. Take a look at their homepages, what kind of content they've put up and how they broke down their homepage. That should give you a few solid ideas to build on.
Hope that helps!

Metered paywall & seo
Hello In our site we are planning to add a metered paywall, a kind of soft paywall, in which users can see X pages on the site with no restriction, and then on the next page (X+1) they are blocked and need to register. How will this affect SEO? Should we cancel the block on search engine spiders? If the block is just JS popping up a full-screen popup, but the actual content is loaded, is that ok? or another method should be utilized? Thanks!

Does homepage SEO exist at all?
hi Just read a Yoast article explaining that the homepage should never be optimized for a specific keyword and should only be optimized for its business or brand name. i have a large site that I'd like to rank (or increase traffic for as I know people get irritated with that term now) for 'Campervan hire'. It has plenty of sub pages going after 'Campervan hire 'location'' for example. it makes sense to me for the homepage keyword - my core keyword - to be 'Campervan hire' and for the homepage to be optimised for this. However, the article I've just read (https://yoast.com/homepage-seo/) suggests a separate page for this keyword. What are your thoughts pls?? thanks

Our SEO suggests thinning our homepage - is this a good idea?
We provide a single medical service in London. Our domain is "service"london.co.uk. Our home page consists of: Welcome message (40 words) Reasons why customers choose us (720 words) - as bullet points Benefits of the service (380 words - as 6 subheadings) Then a small sample of testimonials It currently looks word doc boring so that's definitely an area we are talking to our designer about. We currently rank second or third for our most popular keywords which are mostly variations of "service london" - these go straight to our home page. Our competitors do the same. The only other pages that rank are /pricing (for "service london price") and /reviews (for a tiny proportion of rarer keywords) The main variations in the services we provide is adult and children. We have /adults and /children pages for this where we describe the actual procedures (these are relatively new pages so perhaps they will rank for "adult/children service london" in the future, but right now, they still go to the home page). Now our SEO agency suggests we spread the content into more pages: Why us page, Benefits of service page etc., (also suggested we add more high quality content pages). Our home page will be similar to what moz suggested on whiteboard Friday - a few key points then directing them towards the sub-pages to read more. However I am unsure if this is suitable for us where the great majority of our organic traffic comes from "service london". These visitors should ideally still come to our home page and I'm not sure if Google will be thrilled that my home page is now poorer in terms of content despite the fact that the home page still links to these high quality pages on my site. Would really appreciate this beautiful community's insights on this. Thank you.

How updating a post can influence seo
I have just read this great post from moz blog: http://moz.com/blog/google-fresh-factor But I haven't found nothing about updating post date. If I edit an old great post (now ranked 2nd after several months in 1st serp position) does it be better if I also update the date of the post in the wordpress post edit page? Thank you very much and sorry for my poor english. Bye, Dario.

Hello SEOmozzers, A colleague of mine started up a site here: www.wikiboedel.nl. Sadly only the homepage is indexed in Google. It's a wordpress install. Robots.txt seems fine, all pages are on index and follow. Can't see why only the home is indexed in Google. Do you know whats going wrong? Please tell me. Tank you.

SEOmoz and Wordpress SEO plugin
I made a lot of changes with Wordpress SEO by Yoast before I signed up with SEOmoz. But SEOmoz doesn't seem to see those changes. I am still being told I have multiple meta descriptions. I don't know why but SEOmoz is seeing the default meta description and not the one I wrote using the Yoast plugin. How can I get SEOmoz to see those changes? Edit: Google has not updated all the changes I made with Wordpress SEO.

Best site structure for SEO
Hi, I'm currently in the process of redesigning/rebuilding a well ranking but a dated looking and structured website. Using analytics info I'm trying to put togerther an optimied site map plan for the site based on keywords. Currently the site is structured like this (a few examples) for some of its best ranking keywords / landing pages www.companyname.co.uk/frames/software/companyname-software/keyword/overview.php www.companyname.co.uk/frames/software/companyname-software/keyword/keyword.php I'd like to simplfy this as part of the re build so url's look like this www.companyname.co.uk/companyname-software/softwarecatogry/keyword Obviously I would 201 the old urls. My question is : A. is this a good idea? (From what I've read it is?) B. is there any benifit from having the company name repeated in the url (ie www.companyname.co.uk/companyname-software). My thinking before this is that companyname-software currently ranks well and brings a good amount of traffic. Or should I just go with www.companyname.co.uk/software/softwarecatogry/keyword as opposed to www.companyname.co.uk/companyname-software/softwarecatogry/keyword? Many thanks in advance!
