SEO for standard website pages
-
How do you folks approach adding some SEO value to the standard "every site has them" pages like "About Us", "Contact Us" and such?
I struggle trying to find some relevant non-branded content. We normally cover all the customers relevant services and product offerings in pages specfiically tailored to that content, but don't want to waste pages if they could have some value in drawing traffic.
Any great ideas, Mozworld?
Thanks,
Mark

The about and contact pages could be good for reputation management. Write about your staff, and you have one more positive result for their name in a SERP.

I agree with Josh here. With a bit of work on your "About Us" page, it might pop up when customers search for your brand. We made sure to have a good title, proper NAP, and a well written business description, with photos of our office. It was worth the small effort.

I've found that these pages are more idea for website branding and link baiting. This is where you can use fun / interesting photos / descriptions of the website / product in hopes that you will get shares.

Customer reviews if applicable and if you do not already have a review page could work nicely.

Why is my contact us page ranking higher than my home page?
Hello, It doesn't matter what keyword I put into Google (when I'm not signed in and have cleaned down my browsing history) the contact us page ranks higher than the home page. I'm not sure why this is, the home page has a higher page authority, more links and more social media shares, the website is an established one. When I have checked Google Analytics my home page gets more people landing on it than the contact us page. It looks like people are ignoring the contact us page and scrolling down until they find the home page. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

Please review page for on page SEO
I'm working on an adult dating site review blog and am hoping to build links to the category pages. It's a wordpress blog so the posts are categorised by topics. However can you tell me if there is enough content on the page for google to identify what the page is about? The problem is that the content of each category pages is pulled from the posts. What I think is needed is some static text on the page 2-300 words that use the keyword. Here's an example of a page targeting the keywords 'online dating'. http://www.top-10-dating-reviews.com/category/online-dating/

Should H1s be used in the logo? If they are and it is dynamic on each page to relate to the page content, is this detrimental to the site rather than having it in the page content?
On some sites, the H1 is contained within the logo and remains consistent throughout the site (i.e. the company name is in the of the logo). If the h1 in a logo is dynamic for each page (i.e. on the homepage it is company name - homepage) is this better or worse to have it changed out on the logo rather than having it in the page content?
