Best SEO Analysis Tool
-
I'm looking for a tool that will analyze a webpage for a specific keyword phrase and deliver good recommendations as to what I can do (on page and off page) to increase the Google ranking for that keyword phrase.
I'm trying IBP now, but so far the results haven't been good. Any suggestions?
-
Thanks Mike.
After a second look, I see another page of our site ranking well for the keyword phrase. It's ranked 5th. That probably has something to do with why the other page is ranked so poorly.
The page ranked 5th is also getting an "A" rating from the On Page Keyword Optimization tool. It has a PA of 39, the DA is 50.
The PA of pages ranked 1 - 4 are; 33, 40, (unknown: Amazon), and 25.

Page Authority is explained here.
www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/page-authority
It's our number one metric to understand why a client ranks some where on a page. Have lot's of clients who start with an A grade on the Keyword tool, but are not ranked. It's the Pages "PA" that has the largest determining factor in ranking. (In general)
-
The site I tested is a national site. I'm not familiar with "PA" and "DA". Could you spell that out for me. Thanks you.

If your page is getting an A, can you tell us the PA and DA on the page and domain, and what those are for the competition?
Is this a national site , or Local. If local there are several other factors that will apply.

Hi Frank
As Michael and Simon have said the SEOmoz on page tool is great for this.
In terms of getting good recommendations for how to optimise you just need to look at the 'Factor Overview' and then go through each of the factors in 'Page Analysis Detail', click 'more' and it explains what is best practice there.
I really don't think you need any other software or tools for on-page optimisation although as suggested there are some for Wordpress but unfortunately I don't know any for the two you mentioned.
If, as you say, you get grade A but you're on page 3 of the serps then your on-page seo is good but perhaps the competition is stronger off-page and that is the area that needs the attention?
How do your domain and page metrics compare to the competition? Have you tried the keyword difficulty tool which is fantastic:
Run that for your keyword and then run a full serps report to see the competition level?
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers
Trevor

I've got one site running on Joomla and the other (an ancient site) running on Interchange. Any suggestions on plugins that can help in either of those environments?
-
I just spent a few minutes testing that tool and the recommendations are basic and not very useful. I one test, a not terribly competitive keyword phrase that's ranking on page three in Google delivered an "A" rating for the page.
Thanks, but I need something more robust.
-
The SEO Moz tools are great. If your site is wordpress there are a number of wordpress plugins that can help.

The best tool for this, hands down, is the SEOmoz On Page Keyword Optimization Tool (if you've never used it). I'm not sure what IBP is, but this tool lets you input a keyword and the specific URL/page you're targeting for that keyword and they will give you a grade based on how well it's optimized and what you should do to improve that grade if it didn't get a good one. I use it CONSTANTLY.
Hope this helps!

Need advice on setting up primary domain and shopify site analytics to work best together
Hello, I have a client that I have been working on their primary site for the last year or so. In the last month they decided to have one of their internal employees setup a small shopify store. Now they are asking for the analytics tracking codes for it. My question for you is what would be the best way for me to set that up? variables: primary domain and shopify domain, google and bing analytics Have been looking at how cross domain tracking works (https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6106951), and the instructions for setting up ecommerce in analytics for shopify (https://help.shopify.com/manual/reports-and-analytics/google-analytics/google-analytics-setup). But am still not 100% which route would be the best, any input would be greatly appreciated! thank you, Dustin

Google analytics vs Webmaster tools data
Hi Which is more accurate WT or GA data ? Since GA reporting a KW (thats very recently fallen from page 1 to 3 hence looking into data to find the cause) in the Organic part of Search tab as having generated just 1 visitor over a month (hence presuming fall could be due to low visits from a page 1 result) whilst under Search Engine Optimisation tab (data sourced from WT i think) its reporting 5 click thrus from 150 impressions over same period resulting in a quite good 3.33% CTR (hence wouldn't expect to be the cause of a fall) and what i would have thought GA would report as 5 visits instead of the 1 they do report !? The reason im looking for answer in the data is because no on-page has changed and still scoring a grade A and off page metrics have all improved across the board (apart from small drop in majseo's Trust Flow) such as increased links, RD, Citation Flow, Ref Subnets etc etc etc Cheers Dan

Best top 5 actionable insights from Google Analytics
Buongiorno from 14 degrees C cloudy wetherby UK 🙂 With a whole gamut of books out there are written around the topic of "Actionable Web analytics" where you have to wade through chapters of how to suck eggs and how to get analytics part of your business culture (whatever! most clients who look after their websites are entry level Marketing Execs who pay the digital agencies to do the thinking for them) I'd like to cut to the chase and list out say a top 5 of actionable insights a client would actually give the time of day for so heres my top five, whats yours? 1. Landing page bounce - showing them the £5k landing page designed with no conversion thinking is turning off customers
Reporting & Analytics | | Nightwing
2. Synching up PPC campaigns to analytics and showing them how much money they are waisting
3. Goal funnels - Showing them there 20 step shopping conversion funnel gets abandoned at step 3
4. Non brand keyword traffic (although a stack of this gets blocked by "not provided" Big groan...)
5. Event tracking on there 10 page carousel anner showing them no one clicks on banners 2 - 10 So under the strict label of "Actionable data only" from Google analytics whats your best insights you share with clients in the hope that they may actually give data reports the time of day! Grazie tanto,

Google WebMasters Tool - Preferred Domain
I just added Google Analytics to my wordpress site with Google Analytics by YOAST. I then added Google WebMaster tools through via verify through google analytics account. I then tried to set a preferred domain. I chose the non www. version; however, google wanted me to verify ownership of both versions in order to set a preferred domain. I then added the www. version of my domain. I was able to set the non-www. version to my preferred domain. Now, there are two example.com's in my webmaster tools. I have 10 sites. I intend to replicate this process on all of my sites. Do I have to leave the non-preferred version of my sites in the google webmaster? Can I delete it after I have set my preferred version? If I delete the non-preferred version will it delete my setting on the preferred version because it is now no longer verified (saved)?

Tracking SEO tests
Trying to get some best practices on testing SEO changes. We are going to make a bunch of changes on subsets of pages. Say testing about 5 different on-page changes. Originally we were going to submit separate Sitemaps to GWT and see if our test sets get indexed, how quickly, etc. But we noticed that GWT says some pages in our Sitemaps aren't indexed even though we know they are (what gives?). So we thought, for each test, let's put a unique code on the page so we can see how many get indexed by Google. But that doesn't solve the issue: how many people clicked on our test pages. So we are thinking of putting a tracking pixel on the test pages, specific for each test. But then I am thinking, why not just create a separate Google Analytics profile and place that code on the test pages (set up goals to track visits per test since we aren't going to change the actual URLs). and on and on This is where you come in. What kind of tracking do you implement when you set up tests? Advice appreciated! E
