No metadata rendering
-
For some reason, my spiders can't see a client's metadata even though I can see it in the source code. Any reason why that would happen?
-
In Webmaster Tools, go to Crawl > Fetch as Google and fetch a page on your site. What response code and HTML does the spider see?
-
I think it may be a server-side error. I think there's a rule written into the server coding that's causing spiders to read things wrong. The Client is having issues with redirects, as well. Their 301s are turning into 302s.
The robots.txt file is fine and it's coded properly. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality reasons, I can't share the link.

As Oleg said -
Please check the following
-
Robots.txt file -- may be they are not letting your spider access the pages
-
Please check whether you are meta tags are correct
It would help if you can post your meta tags here

robots are blocked or its coded wrong. Those are pretty much your only reasons.
Perhaps you can provide a link for us to check out?

I'm looking for some expert advice on improving the on-page SEO for my website, CCTV Camera Installation.

Is This a Misuse of Structured Data (JSON Recipe Tag on Collection Pages)?
I've noticed that many food blogs use the "recipe" tag to rank collection pages in carousels. For example, for the search term "Zucchini Recipe," Gaumenfreundin is in the first position in the carousel with a page that contains multiple recipes. This makes sense if the user intent is plural (e.g., "recipes") - but in the singular? According to Google's guidelines, the recipe tag is intended for individual recipes. Google even states that it is a misuse if only the ingredients are listed without the steps. So, isn't it against the guidelines to tag a collection page (even additionally) with the recipe tag? This practice is already common in the US market. Is Google aware of this and possibly tolerating it because it sometimes makes sense to present multiple recipes to the user? For example, "Zucchini Recipe" - the user might not yet know exactly what they want to cook with zucchini. Or do you think Google will take action against this practice in the future?

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Downsides on shortening article title?
Hi there, I'm new to Moz: great tool so far! I just tried the page optimization feature and see that (for instance for this article) page titles are often too long. Now it's tempting to just shorten the title straight away, but I have a memory of someone once telling me changing the title will change the URL. And changing the URL is something not appreciated by Google. Could someone please explain if and why this is/isn't the case? And if there are any downsides/things to consider before changing the article's title? Thank you in advance!

Google rendering mobile to the right
So the website is displaying correctly in mobile devices and online tools. However, when using Google Page Speed Insights mobile or fetch as mobile in Search Console the page always loads as if it has moved 50% of the screen to the right - so whitespace on the left then 50% of the page in on the right side. I've been ignoring this. The site loads fine in devices and i've put it down to a glitch in Google, but at the same time it's been bugging me. Has anyone else seen this and should I ignore?
