Dear Ruslan,
thanks for your input. It is insightful. I meant, though, what is the ideal wireframe layout for seo of a webpage. So how does the ideal structure of a webpage for seo should look like?
Thanks again for your input!

Hey Ben,
There many various factors need to be counted in on-page optimisation before you start linkbuilding.
- First of all make sure that your pages are accessible to Search Engines, check robots.txt
- Check if you keywords repeat several times (2-3 is enough) in your page's content
- It will be good if you will have the keyword in your page title, but don't keep only the keyword
for instance if your keyword is "dhow cruise" then the title can be "Unforgettable dhow cruise in US" - Avoid keyword stuffing in Document
- Avoid multiple titles on one page
- No more than one canonical URL tag
(correlation research has shown that pages which employ the targeted keyword(s) at the front of the title tag benefit greatly in the rankings. There is a direct relationship between proximity to the front of the title element and prominence/rankings as seen by the engines, and the further back in the page title the keyword appears, the worse the correlation with high rankings) - Keyword usage in image ALT attribute
- It should be less than 200 words on a page
- Appropriate usage of H1 tag (1 times is enough)
- Meta Keywords and Meta description should be filled it
- Keyword Usage in Bold/Strong/Emphasized/Italics also might help
- Avoid Excessive External Links
- Avoid long URLs
- Don's use a lot of ads on page

JSON-LD product page markup for multiple currencies?
I haven't found a working example of a single product page with one "Offer" in multiple "priceCurrency" and "price" We have product pages with a single product URL which will offer different prices in different currencies based on the user's IP. Some of the language of the page will be translated based on the IP (this will have href lang tag) but the URL will not change. (We're aware TLD is considered best practice, however, this is not an option at this time.) Is the best option to update the markup based on what the corresponding "country"? I'm uncertain how this may be handled by crawlers. Eg, For the product page https://www.example.com/product1 displaying USD "offers": {

Multiple Local Schemas Per Page
I am working on a mid size restaurant groups site. The new site (in development) has a drop down of each of the locations. When you hover over a location in the drop down it shows the businesses info (NAP). Each of the location in the Nav list are using schema.org markup. I think this would be confusing for search robots. Every page has 15 address schemas and individual restaurants pages NAP is at the below all the locations' schema/NAP in the DOM. Have any of you dealt with multiple schemas per page or similar structure?

SEO and Server Connectivity....
Good Morning/Evening Mozzers, I arrive at work this morning with 5 emails from GWT for my separate domains reading, **"Googlebot can't access your site - **Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 39 errors while attempting to connect to your site. Your site's overall connection failure rate is 15.1%." I have passed this on to the Web Dev team to resolve ASAP. My Question, will server connectivity issues harm my rankings? Is there a danger if this continues that URL's could be de-indexed? Input would be greatly appreciated.

This site is similar to an estate agents site and currently has images, map, floor plan sub pages etc. Can anyone tell me, if we were to combine these pages and include the above details on one page, how that would affect the current search engine rankings?
