On site issues after Magento 2 launch
-
We did a new site launch on Feb 7th this year - www.vesternet.com
It changed from Magento 1 to Magento 2. We had some launch issues around SEO but now we've solved most every crawler issue in Moz reporting - according to Moz we're in better shape on-site than ever.
But our organic search is just dropping daily - we expected a drop after launch then back to normal, but over 2 months on something just isn't right.
A good example, on Google UK for keyword 'home automation' we've always been about position 10, but now we're out the top 50...
Forget about off site for now - what's wrong with our site itself to have caused this?
Can anyone help with insights please as this is killing our sales

Hi,
We're dealing with the same problem after our Magento migration. Did you find out what caused the organic drop?
Looking forward to hear from you

Hi dbsmtec,
It'll be tough for anyone to tell you without auditing your particular website what's likely up here.
If you have seen a gradual drop, there could be a confounding factor afoot - UX issues, for example, are often behind otherwise unexplained organic traffic trends. Page speed is sometimes an issue with Magento - was there any negative impact on performance in the upgrade?
If the drop has been site-wide and gradual, I'd suspect it's something related to UX/user interactions that is causing the drop. If it was sudden, it's more likely (but not necessarily) a technical issue. Looking at traffic across page types can sometimes help narrow your scope.
Again, it's tough to say without looking at your particular site and performance data, and even then, I'm afraid, the answer may prove elusive.
Best of Luck,
Mike -
It may be that the migration has not been done correctly. Magneto took out a pdf with instructions for successful migration. Have you done this or have you used another manual?
I leave the link with the pdf. I hope I've helped.

Reducing number of site pages?
Hi, I am looking through my site structure and I have a lot of pages left over from the days of article keywords. Probably 7 or 8 years ago, someone sold my husband on article key word pages. I have slowly gotten rid of a lot of them as they have fallen out out of the ranks. I would like to get rid of the rest, probably 5 or 6 pages. Will it hurt my rankings to delete pages and redirect them? My customers really like the simplicity of our site and I want to keep it that way, plus clean up flags that Moz is telling me is a problem. I think its easier to keep less pages top notch than have to worry with a lot of them. Especially since my customers aren't viewing them. Thanks in advance!

Word Count - Content site vs ecommerce site
Hi there, what are your thoughts on word count for a content site vs. an ecommerce site. A lot of content sites have no problem pushing out 500+ words per page, which for me is a decent amount to help you get traction. However on ecommerce sites, a lot of the time the product description only needs to be sub-100 words and the total word count on the page comes in at under 300 words, a lot of that could be considered duplicate. So what are your views? Do ecommerce sites still need to have a high word count on the product description page to rank better?

Random /feed 404 error from a wordpress site
My Moz Analytics report shows a 404 error on a page which I think should not exist at all. The URL is http://henryplumbingco.com/portfolio-item/butler-elementary/feed/. When I checked webmaster tools, it looks like there are a number of random /feed urls throwing 404 errors. I am using WordPress and the Enfold theme. Anyone know how to get rid of these errors? Thanks,

How to use canonical with mobile site to main site
I am pretty sure that the mobile version of the main site needs to be the same canonical link from what I understand. I am trying to find good docuementation that supports this. Even better if its from Google or Matt Cutts. I have a main domain like http://www.mydomain.com the mobile version of this is http://www.mydomain.com/m/ Should my canonical be rel="canonical" href="http://www.mydomain.com"/> for both these pages?

Same H1 tag in header across entire site
Should I have the same H1 tag in my header through out my entire site? Or is this considered to be self canalization for my main keywords. For example right now I have an H1 tag with my main targeted keywords on every page on my site, even if the pages content doesn't necessarily match the keywords in the H1 tag.
