Review of my site, just starting seo and looking for any tips
-
Hello,
Just after advice for a website I've recently relaunched, started very basic seo. However having loads of pages it’s hard to dedicate the time to get the on-site seo completed.
Question for Ecommence sites, do we really need to individually content on all pages?
I've also start link building & will be setting up blog, Am debating which task too complete first Or maybe combination of them all.
I think due to my dyslexia I keep putting the blog off as you can properly tell English is definitely not one of my strengths.
Anyway am looking for advice not just on seo , design too, what your opinions ?
I have good concept for marketing just learning the ways to implement it, my website sportingdesires dot com. I believe everyone desires some kind of sport or fitness activity, a hobby you enjoy... mine is football (soccer) hence why I started selling branded football merchandise and ventured into Rugby, Basketball and American football. Will be adding other sports, really need to impermanent a blog... all in good time I suppose.
Sorry for my rambling please leave any feedback good or bad I promise I won’t hunt ya down (lol) in all serious am just looking for eyes from people it always help to get mixed reviews and opinions.
If you’ve read this far well done and thanks

Hi Stephen
Along with the awesome advice above, I would also check the Fetch as Google tool in your Search Console, so you can see what Google sees. I would also make sure you didn't receive any JS/CSS notifications as well.
After all of that, I would pick your high value keywords/queries and run them through the SERP Analysis Report so you can start seeing what directions you're going to have to head in order to increase your rankings.
Please do go through the links that Umar provided as they will help you build a solid foundation moving forward.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hey Stephen,
First of all welcome to the world of SEO, I am sure you will get the grip on all the channels very soon.
I don't know what have you read about on page and link building yet, I'd suggest you to go through to these tutorial for better and deep understanding.
For learning On-Page SEO:

https://moz.com/blog/perfecting-onpage-optimization-for-ecommerce-websitesFor your question regarding the on page fixing, yes you should fix all the pages. But, fix the important ones first. If you have analytics installed, go and check your important pages and start fixing them one by one. If you haven't installed the analytics, then target the pages that you think are important.
Currently your site requires proper on page fixing, plus the design needs some revamp. There are lots of white spaces that can be utilized. Plus, the header section is bit crowded too. Seems you haven't build lot of links for this also.
I'm sure after carefully reading the above links, you're be able to get the desired results.
Remember, SEO requires patience and it's the game of experiments.
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
Umar

Why would the review count be different between the Ad and the Organic result?
A client inquired about this after finding that their review count was different on their Google Ad that appeared in the map pack compared to their organic result right below it. I am stumped so any thoughts or reasoning as to why this is the case would be appreciated. See attached screenshot! Lptujep

The relationship between Google Reviews and SEO?
I have recently started working with a client with bad reviews on Google (2.1/5). Apart from the fact consumers are likely to see these reviews and decide against buying the service the company offers (causing a decrease in traffic), are there any other negative effects on the SEO?

Does Google's 3rd Party Reviews Guideline Update make Review Aggregators Obsolete?
Good day!We are concerned about Google's updated Guidelines in ratings and reviews, specifically as quoted in the SEO Roundtable: "The new guidelines specifically disallows you from using 3rd party reviews, found on other sites, and marking those up on your site."https://www.seroundtable.com/google-updates-reviews-markup-guidelines-22608.htmlThe Guidelines are here https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/reviews#local-business-reviewsWe enlist the use of a 3rd party aggregate for one of our client's (service business). Since, in effect, it is a 3rd party review site, and what the shortcode does is copy reviews from that third party site and mark them up on the client website. What do you guys know about this update, and what are is your take on what the update says and how it relates to a 3rd party review aggregators? Thanks!

What's the best way to keep Google My Business reviews when the business changes names?
I work with an interior designer who is re-branding and changing her business name to focus specifically on windows. Can she keep her GMB reviews and just change the name of her business, then reverify with Google? She doesn't want to lose her current local pack ranking.

Why does Google return 1 star reviews in local listings as the "most helpful"?
I have a client who has recently received two 1 star reviews on Google local (unhappy customer and unhappy customers boyfriend). This is affecting an otherwise flourishing business as these two 1 star reviews are displayed prominently when you search for the brand in Google. They have since received more positive reviews, however Google insists on displaying, what they term, the "most helpful" reviews first. Why are these 1 star reviews deemed "most helpful"? In all honesty, they aren't even really that helpful, with the latter verging on slanderous. We are in the process of reporting this one as it personally attacks a member of staff, however, whilst we tentatively wait weeks for a response, I wondered if anyone has any idea on how G decides which reviews are "most helpful"? When there is no option for other users to rate these reviews as helpful (such as on play store).
