Site Optimisation for ktichens!!
-
Hey Guys,
I am about to begin to optimise this site www.stuartandersonkitchens.co.uk for some keywords such as edinburgh kitchens, quality kitchens edinburgh etc as he is based in edinburgh.
I am also going to be doing some work behind the bones of the site optimisiing alt, meta data, micro data etc.
Also I am thinking about creating a FB, Twitter, Youtube profile and possibly adding him to a few directories (DMOZ etc), some local & running a small adwords campaign using the freebie credits.
I will be altering some of the content in order to have it more amicable to the engines.
Is there any other advice anyone would like to give me, where I could improve in order to have him seen on the search engines.
Be great to here your take on this.
Thanks again,
Craig

Hi Craig,
I am totally agree with kelly because your site doesn't look SEO friendly so you have to make changes for the optimization and getting good ranking in SERP. If you want to listed your site in directories then Yahoo and Dmoz would be your first choice because the both has biggest advantages and i already suggest Local listing which will be help you more in this.

Yup its failing bigtime on content, we didint actually design the site. I personally think it;s a bit too in your face with the images. Some great point though, will look for that plugin.
Thanks Kelly.
Kind Regards,
Craig

Hi craig
There is loads you can do, first off get some text on the home page, image only pages do not tend to rank very well
Change titles, you do not need to have your domain name in the title if you are looking to be found lets say the example you gave then a tiltle like
<title><span>Edinburgh Kitchen Fitters, Designers Of </span>Q</span><span><span>uality Kitchens Scotland</span></span><span></title> (each page must be different to rank for its contents)
you need to add a description
As your using word press download the SEO all in Plugin this will help add these Meta Titles, descriptions and help with some other On page SEO elements for you
Just by doing the above there is no reason you wont make page 1 in your local area the competition is fairly low.
Also use the Blog and get some content written regularly, and publish that and article here and there on your own site could do well, or utilise the blog as a diary of current installations, i know a bathroom company that does that and they got all their links from people following and publishing his before and after images and that was enough for them to dominate their local area and booking work out for 6-8 weeks in advance
Good luck the site looks nice but needs content

Hi Sanket,
Thanks for that, it was including in my plan but I forgot to mention I am looking at some local directories with decent Page Rank and a revamp of current content.
Thanks Again,

Hi Craig,
First of all you have to improve on-page if you optimize this site for keywords such as edinburgh kitchens, quality kitchens edinburgh then you have make some in Onpage. Your link building strategies that you have planed are good. I suggest one more thing that is local listing it will helpful in increasing visitors and presence in search engine.

Site Not Indexing & SEOMoz Reporting ZERO On-Page Report Crawls
Any help on this would be MUCH appreciated. One of my sites, aironeairsolutionsinc.com, has recently been rebuilt and the pages tweaked for some basic optimization. Based on my experience, those tweaks (geared toward keywords with relatively low competition locally) usually bump my local sites up into the top 20 or 30 at worst. 3 weeks later, it seems my site is still not indexing with Google. In addition, I AM NOTICING THAT THE ON PAGE REPORTS IN SEO MOZ ARE NOT REGISTERING THAT ANY PAGES ARE BEING CRAWLED. Again, any help from Moz staff would be awesome! :} Thanks, Ricky

Opens Site Explorer sees two pages that are one
www.mysite.com/ and www.mysite.com/default.asp are both showing up in open site explorer. How do I make sure that these are not being interpreted as two pages when they are the same page? (Both in search engines and OSE.)

Why would only 1 pg of an 18 pg site be crawled?
I signed up yesterday. Added 4 sites. The one I really need data on now has only had 1 page crawled. The other sites have had almost all pages crawled (over 40 each) in one day. What is wrong? The main domain has a 301 redirect to another domain name is that the problem? Is there something wrong at Google analytics? I dont manage this site and I'm picking up behind another firm..where should I start my discovery? Thanks so much!

Can you explain social indicators in Open Site Explorer
My Google +'s for my domain were 403 last month and 35 this month.... Based on this I'm assuming OSE's numbers are not cumulative. Are they based on the previous month or a different time period? Any explanations would be helpful. Thanks!

How can you set SEOmoz to work with your dev site behind an htpasswd?
All sites need to be developed from the small to the grand - and this takes time. Development usually takes place on a subdomain different from our live domain. It is locked down behind an htpasswd during development so its not picked up by searching engines - that may create duplicate content issues if when the site goes live it has already scanned our site on the development server. Its also a security implementation to keep the site away from prying eyes before its ready for launch There could be security holes that have not been tweaked. Whats the best strategy to get SEOmoz involved in this scenario. Its tools are invaluable to the SEO part of the build - but the seomoz crawler bot has a different IP address (being cloud based) - so we cannot just let a single IP address through our htpasswd. Also is there a way to link the dev and live site in seomoz - so when it goes live to maintain all teh same logs without having to create two seperate site campaigns? Thanks!

Very confused on site.com/ or not using a /
I'm wanting to put the rel="canonical" tag on my homepage but I'm not sure which to use? How would you know what to use and always links to, http://www.site.com or http://www.site.com**/** Personally I never knew there was a difference until I used the seomoz tool and I wasn't using the tag.
