Help With This Page
-
This is page - http://www.kempruge.com/location/tampa/tampa-personal-injury-legal-attorneys/ - is the most important one to my business, and I can't seem to get it to rank higher. It has the second highest authority and links, second only to my homepage (though none are all that impressive) but it is just buried in the SERPs. Granted, I know Tampa Personal Injury Attorney is the hardest keyword for us to rank for, but there must be some way to improve this.
I know getting high quality links is an appropriate answer, but I'm looking for anything I can do solely on my end to improve it. However, if anyone has some ways to make the page more linkable, I'm all ears!
Please, if you have a second to take a look, I'd appreciate any and all feedback.
Thanks,
Ruben

Great suggestions above.
I have many legal clients in all of your practice areas so this is hitting close to home and i think you could improve in so many ways. One suggestion below.
Show some indicators on your home page via an in-content internal link to the PI page you mentioned .
Also you have two pages competing for the personal injury keyword. Choose one page to target the personal injury keyword. Choose one page and add your office locations to the footer.
Maybe optimize your image name http://www.kempruge.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/90201067_8.jpg but do not over optimize.
You could also benefit from some additional link building to the page you want to rank.

By all means be blunt, and I really appreciate that you were. Thank you very much!

I didn't dig deep into your site but here are some initial thoughts. I’m going to be blunt but please don’t take it personally. Take the information for what it is, just information and my thoughts.
Page Thoughts:
- The actual copy on the page is a little hard to read and doesn't seem like it came from you. You seem to be missing some words and the overall thought seems to be lacking.
Here are the last two sentences of your first paragraph:
"When you are represented by a Tampa Personal Injury Attorney with Kemp & Ruge, you get the individual attention you deserve. represent you as your Tampa Car Accident Attorney, you will be getting a group of professionals who put their clients first."
For an attorney website, I would expect better than this.
- You have a “link cloud” below your copy
“If you are even thinking about hiring an attorney for your personal injury case, please consult with an injury attorney. Click here for your: Pasco County Personal Injury Attorney, Hernando County Personal Injury Attorney,Pinellas County Personal Injury Attorney, Hillsborough County Personal Injury Attorney, Tampa Personal Injury, Clearwater Personal Injury Attorney, Land O’ Lakes Personal Injury Attorney, Lutz Personal Injury Attorney, Odessa Personal Injury Attorney, New Port Richey Personal Injury Attorney, Spring Hill Personal Injury Attorney, Tarpon Springs Personal Injury Attorney, and Palm Harbor Personal Injury Attorney.”
This, personally, sends mixed signals to Google about what your page is about. (You seem to have this on almost all your pages.) Internal linking is important, but how you do it is just as important.
- At the bottom of your copy, you have multiple addresses on the page. Again, I feel this sends mixed signals to Google and doesn’t really help users who land on this page. Having a consistent NAP (Name, Address and Phone Number) will help both Google know that this page is meant for Tampa and users to get exactly what they are looking for.
Recommendations:
-
New copy/content on the page. I would talk about what makes Tampa unique in the Personal Injury Law space. Maybe talk about how the process works in Tampa when you get injured. Talk about a little of the history of Tampa and why Tampa, specifically is a great location to live but that “even in paradise, injuries occur.” (Just throwing out ideas)
-
I would make this page a sort of landing page for your Tampa Office. I would add schema markup for local business (http://schema.org/LocalBusiness) and include a Google map of the location to help people find you. I know that it’s an appointment only location but this should help.
-
When you write your blog posts and mention the word Tampa, I would link, internally, to this page. This will help set up a strong internal link structure with location information that will help Google know that this page is specifically for Tampa. The keywords on your page and how outside sources link to it should do the rest.
4)In your footer, you have the locations listed, I would make the Title of each location a link to that specific page. The Tampa Office should link to the page we are discussing.
Like I said at the beginning, I didn’t dive deep into your site but these are my quick observations and recommendations.
-
Once you have your google local pages setup try getting reviews, it's a long run type approach that may allow you to outshine others locally.

Yeah, I really thought Finebloom would be gone by now, especially considering what I read about it here. We've definitely not put as much into local seo as we should have, but we will start.
Thanks!

SoleGraphics has it. Try to get into the local results.
... and if that don't work try video spam like the guys at Finebloom. I can't believe that those are still killing the SERPs for major cities all over Florida.

Help.. there was a html and php version of my home page on my server for about a week. Now lost all rankings!
Our home page has disappeared from the Google SERPS completely. It won't even show for a search of our business name although other internal pages appear. Site appears in bing for our keywords but not for our business name. When I republished the site I got a message saying there was a php and html version of the site on the home page. I deleted this immediately but was then advised by another staff member that they had also got that message the week before but not done anything about it - so I think it was out there for about a week. Could this be the cause of the ranking drop? We have also done the following: Checked GWM for robots issue, manual action, crawl errors, blocked URLs - all good. Some crawl errors on other pages relating to broken links. All sorted and marked as fixed. Checked for duplicate content - redirected non www version of site to www Checked back links Removed video from home page that was temporarily unavailable when we did fetch and render Added canonical tag Added H1 tag that was missing Coding checked - all looks good There has been no change to the content of the page. We have fetched and rendered and resubmitted for indexing but it's still not coming back in SERPS it did for a short time the other day and then after a couple of days disappeared again Prior to all this it had ranked really well for our most important keywords for years. It's not a new site. The page is indexed as it comes up when doing a site: search. Please can anyone help? Nobody seems to have the answer and we don't know what else to do. The site is NSFW NSFW https://goo.gl/dwA8YB Main keyword sex toy party

Will more comprehensive content on product pages help improve ranking?
We're working to improve the ranking of one of our product landing pages. The page that currently ranks #1 has a very simple, short layout with the main keyword many times on the page with otherwise very little text. One thought we had was to make a more comprehensive page including more info on the features and benefits of the product. The thought being that a longer form page would be more valuable and potentially look better to Google if the other SEO pieces are on par. Does that make sense to do? Or would it be better to keep the product page simple and make some more related content on our blog linking back to that landing page? Thanks in advance to any help you can provide!

301'd an important, ranking page to the wrong new page, any recourse?
Our 1,300 page site conversion from static html to Wordpress platform went flawlessly with the exception of 1 significant issue....an old, important, highly ranking page was 301 redirected to the wrong corresponding new page. The page it was redirected to is about a similar product, but not the same. This was an oversight that slipped through. It was brought to my attention when I noticed this new page was still holding the old page's rankings but the bounce rate skyrocketed (clearly because the content on the wrong new page was not relevant). Once identified, we cleaned up the redirect. My fear is that all the juice built up on the old .html page that ranked well has now permanently been passed to an irrelevant, insignificant page. -Is there any way to clean up this mistake? -Is there anything I can do to assist Google in associating the correct 'new' page with correct 'old' page after the wrong redirect was initially set-up? -Am I going to have to start from scratch with the new page in terms of trust, backlinks, etc. since google already noted the redirect? Thanks!

Robot.txt help
Hi, We have a blog that is killing our SEO. We need to Disallow Disallow: /Blog/?tag*

Disallow: /Blog/sitemap.axd
Disallow: /Blog/post.aspx But Allow everything below /Blog/Post The disallow list seems to keep growing as we find issues. So rather than adding in to our Robot.txt all the areas to disallow. Is there a way to easily just say Allow /Blog/Post and ignore the rest. How do we do that in Robot.txt Thanks0 -
Optimize the category page or a content page?
Hi, We wish to start ranking on a specific keyword ("log house prices" in italian). We have two options on what pages we should optimize for this keyword: A long content page (1000+ words with images) Log houses category page, optimized for the keyword (we have 50+ houses on this page, together with a short price summary). I would think that we have better chances with ranking with option nr.2 , but then we can't use that page for ranking with a more short-tail keyword (like "log houses"). What would you suggest? Is there maybe a third option for this?

NOINDEX listing pages: Page 2, Page 3... etc?
Would it be beneficial to NOINDEX category listing pages except for the first page. For example on this site: http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/101/fsx-missions/ Has lots of pages such as Page 2, Page 3, Page 4... etc: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aflyawaysimulation.com+fsx+missions Would there be any SEO benefit of NOINDEX on these pages? Of course, FOLLOW is default, so links would still be followed and juice applied. Your thoughts and suggestions are much appreciated.
