How do I rank multiple pages for my busness/domain name?
-
When someone searches for our business's name (which is also the domain name) we have one listing (with sitelinks) at the top - however I would also like to rank 2nd, 3rd and 4th for this term.
Any suggestions on how this might be done?
Thanks.

You could, but it would be more difficult to rank sub-domains. Search for keywords like nytimes, apple etc since we know these sites do have certain sub-domains, none of them show-up in Google in Top 10. I would concentrate on the social media only.
-
I normally keep my sites out of public forums but there are loads of examples.
google indeed and you will see they dominate page 1 for that term
-
In addition to social sites - would creating sub-domains also work? Or would they need to be new root domains?
-
Just for reference, do you have any examples? - the "stephen counsell" example no longer appears to be showing multiple results. I've looked up a few others and the maximum I can see if two results.
-
Yes it is possible with google.co.uk
I have several sites that rank more than once for the same keyword but for different pages on the 1st page of google.co.uk
-
The best way to rank for your brand name with other/more URLs that you control to some extent would be the social media ones. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn etc.

I don't see any reason it'd be different for google.co.uk over google.com.
I did a browser search in google.co.uk for medicx - Interesting results.
Your domain is #1
#2 medicxpharmacy
#4 www.medicxfund.com/investors
Seems www.medicxfund.com are listing 2 pages for 1 term.

Perhaps this is different for Google.co.uk - or do you mean you can rank using different domains e.g. Twitter, LinkedIn
The domain in question is: http://www.medicx.com/

I have managed to rank for "stephen counsell" multiple times on page 1. So it is possible.
What's your domain / business name?

Hi Steve
Thanks for the swift reply. Although am I right in thinking that ordinarily you can only rank once for your Domain / Business name? I've had a look for examples where this isn't the case but haven't been able to find any.

Hi Matt
Hmm, sounds like you actually want to compete with yourself.
So, If I was going to do this I'd create a number of pages with different and unique content targeted at different angles on the key phrase (your business name).
The I'd start to create a set of backlinks for each of the pages so that they all have a similar ranking for the term.
I see why one would want to do this. Page 1 domination for a key term, but don't get too hung up on the Business Name. In my opinion you'd be better spending the effort creating really great content about the service or products you provide.
Good luck an dI hope this helps.
Steve

New Google Update - weird ranking
Hi I wanted to get your thoughts on this keyword ranking. This page - https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/albatross-heavy-duty-office-chairs-24-stone is now ranking for heavy duty office chair 30 stone We don't mention 30 in the content anywhere, apart from the USPs at the top of the page - could this be it?! I don't know how to change this, or I guess Google is still figuring things out and maybe this will drop off? Love to get some thoughts on this! Becky

Canonicals from sub-domain to main domain: How much content relevancy matters? Any back-links impact?
Hi Moz community, I have this different scenario of using canonicals to solve the duplicate content issue in our site. Our subdomain and main domain have similar landing pages of same topics with content relevancy about 50% to 70%. Both pages will be in SERP and confusing users; possibly search engine too. We would like solve this by using canonicals on subdomain pointing to main domain pages. Even our intention is to only to show main domain pages in SERP. I wonder how Google handles it? Will the canonicals will be respected with this content relevancy? What happens if they don't respect? Just ignore or penalise for trying to do this? Thanks

Will more landing pages with related keywords improve ranking of main keyword?
Hi all, We are in the process of creating new landing pages and noticed something what our competitors been following with landing pages. They have created multiple landing pages targeting the related keywords of a main topic / main keyword. Like "seo defined", "seo history", "seo benefits", "seo strategies", "types of seo", etc being "SEO" as main keyword or main topic. Will this works? Thanks

Product Listing Pages
Hi I had a question regarding product pages and the best way to display the page for SEO. For example, is it best to have a page for - Blue Euro Containers including a table of the capacity options you can buy.. Or, have each product split out so it has it's own product page - 60L Blue Euro Container, etc etc I know a lot of the information will be fairly similar, with the capacity being the one major difference - is this a bad thing? Some of our product tables are too big and the idea was to split them out. Thanks!

Directories and Domain Authority
I read all the time about how directories have very little weight in SEO anymore, but in my field, a lot of our competitors are propped up by paying for "profiles" aka links from places like martindale-hubbard, superlawyers, findlaw, nolo, Avvo, etc (which are essentially directories IMO) yet all those sites have very high DAs of 80 and above. So, are links from these sites worth it? I know that's a vague questions, but if Moz's algo seems to rank them so highly, I'm guessing that's reasonably close to what google thinks as well...maybe? Thanks for any insight, Ruben
