H1 Headers and Unique Content
-
Should my H1 header contain the same keywords in the same order, verbatim as my SEO title or some variation of them? Or does it matter?
-
I go with the simple rule here, whenever dealing with the on-page optimization, try to go with the options that go best for users and search engine will come along.
If you think having the same H1 as Title will serve users better then go for it and if you think you can craft a better H1 for users to engage with the website and continue their journey then try not to go with option one.
Hope this helps!

It seems like you're asking some things that are covered in two different places. These should help:
Moz Beginners Guide and Google SEO GuideWhat really matters is what is readable, interesting and targeted to your page. Yes, you can and should slip a keyword in there. Otherwise, do what feels right.
If you're talking about the theme of a subject, you'll end up ranking for more terms than you think. The amount of people that search for 'video production city' isn't all that great when compared to the number of people that search for thousands of variants. Some may search for 'high quality video production', with or without the city.
The long tail is your friend. Write about the subject as you would naturally, usually the keyword targeting stuff will 'just happen'.

Content from Another Site
Hi there - I have a client that says they'll be "serving content by retrieving it from another URL using loadHTMLFile, performing some manipulations on it, and then pushing the result to the page using saveHTML()." Just wondering what the SEO implications of this will be. Will search engines be able to crawl the retrieved content? Is there a downside (I'm assuming we'll have some duplicate content issues)? Thanks for the help!!

SEO trending down after adding content to website
Hi
Technical SEO | | swat1827
Looking for some guidance. I added about 14 pages of unique content and did all of the on page SEO work using Yoast - have 'good' status on all of them some of the website architecture was changed - mainly on one page. That being said, we got a significant bump the day I implemented, however every day thereafter we have had very bad results. Worse than we had before for about 3 days now. I did resubmit the updated sitemap to GWT and I'm showing no crawl errors. Also, curious if my Robots.txt file could be the issue. All it contains is User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/ Any insight or advise is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time0 -
Expires Header
We are considering adding expires header to our site. If we add this meta tag to expire for a certain date, but we do not make any changes to the site after it expires, can you be penalized for this?

Duplicate content in product listing
We have "duplicate content" warning in our moz report which mostly revolve around our product listing (eCommerce site) where various filters return 0 results (and hence show the same content on the page). Do you think those need to be addressed, and if so how would you prevent product listing filters that appearing as duplicate content pages? should we use rel=canonical or actually change the content on the page?

Lots of duplicate content warnings
I have a site that says that I have 2,500 warnings. It is a real estate website and of course we use feeds. it says I have a lot of duplicate content. One thing is a page called "Request an appointment" and that is a url for each listing. Since there are 800 listings on my site. How could I solve this problem so that this doesn't show up as duplicate content since I use the same "Request an Appointment" verbeage on each of those? I guess my developer who used php to do it, created a dedicated url to each. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
