Strategy for product content page development.
-
I have a project to work on product and landing pages for a website with 5000+ SKU's.
I am looking to hire a content writer to do this but I want a strategy in place to develop these pages. I have googled a bit and they mostly talk about the body of the page. I am looking for best practices for the entire page, Title, H1, Meta and body.
Any good tutorials for this type of project anyone can recommend?
Anyone with experience doing this type of project?
Thanks,
Mark

You are a proponent of adding the website name in the title? You mean the Title, not the Meta Title correct? And you are recommending nothing in the Meta keywords?
The second H1 on our site is all part of the template so should be a quick change. I think it can be completly removed does not need to be changed to H2 as it is just a duplicate of the other H1... I think will need to check it out.
Thanks so much for the input.

Hi Mark,
By personas I mean focusing the content on the needs of the customer as a priority - so making sure that the landing pages you're sending out for copywriting are focused on addressing their needs (like needing fast turn around etc that also address your business USPs?) - more for category pages etc than product pages, but product pages should still be focused on your key audience and their needs.
This should increase engagement with the pages from a customer point of view (which increases engagement and can have a positive impact on rankings).
Usually you'd have a format like this for meta:
H1=unique primary keywords
Meta title = Primary keyword - secondary keyword | Website name (<56 chars)
Meta description = Add in the primary keyword but describe the product - after all, people use it to decide whether to click through (<156 chars)
keywords: Do not fill in the keywords field - it's largely not used and can be seen as spammy.Also - never have 2 H1s. It may be worth you pulling the site through a tool like ScreamingFrog to find all your duplicate H1s? A page should only have 1 H1, so I'd change that second one to a H2, or add a benefits driven title instead so it's not duplicated?
Hope all that helps

Thanks for the response. What do you mean by "personas" in this context?
We do have many products that are similar so duplicate content will be an issue. We currently have lots of pages that the Title = H1 = URL = Meta Description = Meta Keywords. Do you know of a best practice to differentiate these fields?
I went on our site to find an example. The first product I looked at has this affliction. Also there are two H1 fields both the same.

Hi Mark,
It depends what keywords you're going to target for each product page but I'd say that it would be best to first create a map of keywords and pages to also map back to your personas from a content marketing point of view.
This will then make sure that you're not going to cannibalise any keywords or landing pages with potential duplicate content.
A few resources here on structure of page titles etc:

Hope that's helpful?

Should I create additional pages for to try to rank for alternative keywords?
Hi I have my primary product page https://www.planacademy.com/primavera-p6-training/ - that ranks well for and is optimized for "primavera p6 training". However, I'd the same page to rank well "primavera p6 online course". Do I create another version of this page optimized for these different keywords? Or do I try to get the 1 page to rank for both? A bit confused here as to what to do. Thanks.

3 (similar) keywords - 3 (similar) domains - best strategy?
Hi all! I've got head scratcher here, your input would be super valuable! We have these 3 exact match domains. FloatTank.ca
Keyword Research | | BrightIdeas
IsolationTank.ca
SensoryDeprivationTank.ca The domains are all 3 different ways of saying the exact same thing - and each of the 3 keywords have roughly the same amount of traffic. Right now we are just providing information on Float Tanks / Isolation Tanks / Sensory Deprivation Tanks, their benefits are and how to use them, where to find a location etc. Do you have any strategies or advice considering the current domains and the points below? The content on each site would be VERY SIMILAR, as they are all talking about the same thing, "floating". Any suggestions for this? We want to (sometime in the near future) create a branded website. ie. FloatNation.ca in which we rank for all 3 of the above terms. Should we spin content for each site, and then create a 301 down the road to our main domain? Your input is appreciated! All the best,

Influencing which page google chooses as the authority for a certain keyword
I have spent the last year optimizing my site for a specific keyword that I believed would do well with respect to conversions. The good news is that my efforts have somewhat succeed. I am now ranking second for a pretty popular keyword, and this effort has definitely increased my traffic. The bad news is that the target page that shows up for the optimized keywords isn't really the authoritative page on my site for the given keywords. As a result, it is my belief that my bounce rate is increasing and my conversions are decreasing. To be more specific, let's say I have optimized my site for the keywords "cool widgets". On my site, I am referencing "cool widgets" in key areas such as title, meta keywords etc. I am referencing the above both on my homepage as well as the cool-widgets page. So, http://www.mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com both contain pretty heavy optimization for "cool widgets". When a user searches "cool widgets", google is displaying mysite.com - however, i'd like it to display mysite.com/cool-widgets like all my competitors. Is there any advice or light the community can shed on how I might go about correcting this issue? I don't think I want to de-optimize my home page, as I am afraid I might lose that position and not have it replaced with the more relevant target page. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Roy
