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.

A single page from site not ranking
Hello, We have a new site launched in March, that is ranking well in search for all of the pages, except one and we don't know why. This page it is optimised exactly the same way like the others, but still doesn't rank in Google. We have verified robots.txt for noffollow, noindex tags, we have verified if it was penalized by Google, but still didn't find nothing. Initially we had another site and was on the topic of this page, but we have redirected it to the new one. In case this old site was anytime in the past penalized by Google, could it be possible that the new page be influenced by this? Also, we have another site that ranks on the first position, that targets the same keywords like the page that does not rank. It was the first site we launched, so it is pretty much old, but we do not have duplicate content on them. Maybe Google doesn't like the fact that both target the same keywords and chooses to display only the old site? Please help us if you have any ideas or have been through such thing. Thank you!

Broken images & Rankings
Hi I have seen a big drop in a keyword going from position 3 to out of the top 100. The only thing I can see that went wrong, was an issue with broken images - could this be the reason for the drop? Becky

Our web site lost ranking on google a couple of years ago. We have done lots of work on it but still can not improve our search ranking. Can anyone give us some advise
A couple of years ago the ranking on our site dropped over night. I believe someone working here at the time purchased links about that time. We have been doing lots of work on the site since then to improve it. We can not get our rankings back up on google searches. Can anyone give us some advise about what to do or where to go for some help that we can trust.

A)www.sho.es B)www.sho.es/shoes C)brand.com/shoes D)shoes.brand.com E) (if you have the time) Repeat B),C) and D) for .net

SEOMoz Keyword Ranking Accuracy
Getting some mixed message on this. Is the keyword ranking informational available in SEOMoz based on the data in Mozscape or based on live Google data? Reason I ask is that my ranking for "crown moulding" for www.worldofmoulding differs: Based on the today's scan my www.worldofmoulding.com ranks in position 40 in Google. Based on a manual check with cleared out cache no local setting ... the site is 4th spot Running a third party check using "Advanced Web Ranking" tool it comes up in 9th spot, but they count the local business SERPs in which case it matches my manual search. It seems that SEOMoz is not in line with actual ranking. Any suggestion for what can be used to accurately asses SERP placement for terms?

Social Media - big ranks it seems from it
Hi there, one of our big competitors is ranking first for a huge key term. We were wondering how they did it, so i went through normal processes: Age of domain - reasonable. Unique content - a little but the ranking page has pretty much none - meaning panda update isn't applying here, Back-links - nothing special really, not enough to be above everyone in my opinion. Then i had a look at social media shares, over 2,000 mainly as facebook shares. So i went on their facebook profile and it does not seem like they are spamming content on there. Are these shares from users sharing the link? if so can i find out how many per post? i imagine there is a team setup to share this content when it is published on their facebook page? It just seems so very unfair they are ranking number one like this, the content in their site is poor, it's not a relevant domain either. So much for panda update eh? Any thoughts appreciated.
