How to rank a transactional query
-
I have a webpage about bike tours in France with a list of bike tours in France. I imagaine people don't want a big paragraph about what a bike tour in France is because this is a transactional query and not an informational query.
How do I go about ranking this page ?
Would a good title tag and good description be enough to rank that page ?
Thank you,

Well a topic sentence with a supporting sentence is a format. You might be able to demonstrate some value proposition through that format. In a way what you're asking is similar to "what is the difference between winning a race, and a high performance rally car?"
A high performance rally car could be a vehicle (format / medium) through which you deliver race results. But if you used the rally car in an F1 race, it probably wouldn't win (horses for courses)
A value proposition is something about your business which you get clearly across in a cited, qualified manner. Could you do that through a topic sentence with a supporting sentence? Maybe - it depends upon the USP which you are promoting. For example if you are trying to get across your great reviews, then obviously sentences are a bad vehicle whereas TrustPilot embedded reviews (unbiased, from a 3rd party which you cannot manipulate) would be a much better vehicle
One is a format for delivering information, the other is the type of qualified, un-biased and 'proven' information which you are supplying
If your site's value-proposition was a uniquely designed and developed calculator to deliver information to users (which your competitors couldn't deliver) then again sentences of text would be a bad vehicle. A custom designed and developed calculator would be a good vehicle
Look at how sites like Money Supermarket, Confused and Compare the Market got ahead. Their unique aggregation systems ARE their value propositions. Could they have been created using just sentences of text? No

Thank you for the detailed reply. I will start working on my value proposition and move on from there.
By the way what is the difference between a value proposition a topic sentence with a supporting sentence ?

A value proposition isn't a tag or a technical thing, it's part of the idea of the website. Miley outlines it pretty well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AmRg3p79pM - though you only need to watch up to the point where she fully covers "Issue #1"
Your value proposition is for your business and should be reflected on your website. It can take the form of a website that is better and easier to use than all the competitors sites due to unique feature/UX integration (e.g: a calculator that assesses the breakdown of terrain on a tour, 10% mountainous 50% urban 40% forest - or something like that, and then maybe does something cool like recommends an actual bike, or supplies for the run, or both)
A value proposition can also take the form of simple USPs (e.g: better service than the competitors, better reviews from Trust Pilot, faster delivery, the lowest prices, covering a wider area, better staff expertise and local knowledge). If you go with USP-based value propositions, qualify them (saying "I'm the best!" isn't usually enough)
If the query space sucks, think what you can do to leave everyone else in the dirt and make it better. Think of some 10x content pieces
Remember: "good unique content" is rarely ever good enough to rank competitively. You have to go next level

Is a great title tag the same as a great value proposition ? I have a hard time figuring out what a good one would be because in my industry everyone is terrible ... Either they have synonyms : Bike tours in France / Cycling vacations in France or they use words like Best Bike tours in France but honestly this doesn't want to make me click at all (but they still rank). Is it because they have a value proposition which isn't in their title tag but somewhere else on the page ?
If I come up with a good title that make people want to click, is google going to boost me even though this isn't something that people have in their head when the do a search for "bike tours France " ?
Concerning the content, all of us doing bike tours in France have the same thing, a list of different tours by destination. It is very hard to differentiate myself on this. Is I had something that nobody has on their page can it help me ? or to help me does it need to be something people have in their head or are looking for ?
Thank you,

You need to do a few things.
- Write a great title tag but test variations over time to see which one gives you the best rankings and CTR.
- Add great content to this page. Something that will keep visitors on this page when they get there.
- Create other blog posts on your site that will attract links and then internally link over to your "bike tours in France" page.
- Build a handful of good inbound links to this landing page.

Ranking dropped after changing title tag
I recently changed my company's site homepage title tag to make it start with our target keyword. The page was originally at page #7 or #8 and dropped to page #17 directly after I changed the page title. Is this normal? Is it's a temporary drop or should I change it back to the previous title.

Length for ranking, is it keyword dependant ?
Is the time it takes to rank keyword dependant ? in other word does it take more time for a page to rank on a keyword that has 5000 request a month than for a page to rank on a keyword that has 50 requests a month ?

Lost homepage rankings for one day
We had a strange thing happen to our website. We have a website that ranks for top keywords for some years. Last week we lost alle of our rankings for one day. The strange thing was, that the rankings were only lost on the homepage, the homepage didnt rank anymore. Even when i googled for 'homepage.com' google showed 'homepage.com/page' and not the homepage. After some reading i checked for the following: no-index sources in the source code - but no results checked for http respons code - 200 ok status checked for downtime in pingdom - no downtime With no rankings on the homepage i was losing 90% of the traffic, i went to GWT and did a fetch as google request, the website looked okay. After that i request a new indexation request. After this the website was back in google with all the old rankings. But what has happend, is still a question for me. Can this be an hack or a wordpress problem or is this realtime penguin with a hit. I also read things about Google flux, but it didnt happen before and it was just the homepage, with no index at all. What happend?

How to rank if you are an aggregator or a directory of resource?
Most of the SEO suggestions (great quality content, long form content, engagement rate/time on the page, authority inbound links ) apply to content oriented site. But what should you do if you are an aggregator or a resource directory? You aim is to send the user faster to other site they are looking for or provide ranking about the resources. In fact at a very basic level you are competing for search engine traffic because they are doing same things. You may have done a hand crafted, human created resource that is better than what algorithms are showing. And your site likely to have lot more outgoing links than content. You know you are better (or getting better) since repeat visitors keep coming back. So in these days of Search engines, what a resource directory or aggregator site do to rank? Because even directories need first time visitors till they start coming back again.

How long before your rankings improved after Penguin?
Those of you that have algorithmic penalties, how long after making changes did you actually see an improvement, or have you ever? I have several sites that tanked after Penguin 2.1 and after doing Link Removal, Diasvaow files and building newer more quality links and adding content, I am STILL not seeing any change in rankings after several months. I have heard from some people it can take up to 6-months for google to even crawl a disavow file. I have also heard no matter what you do it won't matter until Google does another update. I feel like we have made a lot of changes in the right direction, but I don't want to go overboard if nothing is going to matter until another Google Update is done. What are your experiences?

How can you rank for several cities ?
I have a website design client who wishes to rank for several cities they are willing to service locally. I have seen a competitor do this, Main-site.com/web-design content all about web design subcategories main-site.com/web-design/city-name-website-designer Content about web design plus content about the city itself and hiring a website designer in that city main-site.com/web-design/next-city-name-website-designer Content about web design plus content about the next city itself and hiring a website designer in that city Is this a great strategy, it seems to be working for them, or will Google eventually penalize this ? Or would you just put all 4 city names in the title and descriptions and content on one page ?

Rankings for keyword variations dropped over weekend?
One of our clients has seen significant decreases over the weekend for a number of keyword variations. There have been no significant site changes, no crawl errors reported and our competitors don't seem to have been affected. The decrease has coincided with the launch of a display campaign, but surely this is just coincidental? Any thoughts would be appreciated...
