Home Page optimising for Office furniture online
-
Hi I have a full page for office-furniture-online. With a fair bit of text on it!
We use visual composer for this on wordpress - but we can't get a rank for it
I wondered whether as it is our key term - whether we should focus on the home page for this - but the issue we have here it the amount of text we can add to the home page without it looking silly - could we have a slide in side tab with information on or is this frowned upon?

hi, so, we would recommend building quality backlinks, to the homepage, then each of the product pages. make sure the backlinks are white hat, must be very high quality. we managed to get a company in Bristol which builds log cabins onto the first page using this method of organic seo

Great points by Roman and Tim!
I'm willing to bet that this keyword is super competitive and you'll really need to dig in in order to rank for it. The things that I would start with:
1. Competitor analysis for the specific keyword (per Roman's recommendation) - evaluate 2-4 top competitors
2. Competitor backlink analysis
3. Optimize the indivdual product pages first - go for longtail keywords in order to try and get some organic ranking
-
Some great points from Roman.
Also of note! How old is your site? Are you providing rich unique content that serves the customers needs? Office supplies if a very competitve market and can take time for your SEO to take effect.
What are you looking to rank for? your brand name or products anc product categories?
I used to work for VOW (Then - Post Office shop, Caboodle, FindMySupplies) and Mamas and Papas here in the UK and invariably the home page was pretty much reserved for brand traffic. I would imagine you ideally would want your category and product pages to be the main ranking pages giving the customer the quickest route to basket.
Cheers

My site on desktop browser: page 2 /mobile browser: page 0
Using my two most pertinent keywords in Chome my site shows up page two. Using the same keywords on my iPhone does not show my site at all (I clicked on to page 15). I have a mobile ranking of 84 on Google PageSpeed Insights. Could be a bit higher but not enough to totally ignore my site. What am I missing?

Does the title tag on the home page affect sub-pages?
Hello. I am thinking of changing our home page title tag to include our two most valuable keywords from two of our sub-pages. Would this help the rankings of those two sub-pages? Thank you!

Duplicate Page Content on Empty Manufacturer Pages
I work for an internet retailer that specializes in pet supplies and medications. I was going through the Crawl Diagnostics for our website, and I saw in the Duplicate Page Content section that some of our manufacturer pages were getting flagged. The way our site is set up is that when products are discontinued we mark them as discontinued and use 301 redirects to redirect their URLs to other relevant products, brands, or our homepage. We do the same thing with brand and manufacturer pages if all of their products are discontinued. 90% of the time, this is a manual process. However, the other 10% of the time certain products come and go automatically as part of our inventory system with one of our fulfillment partners. This can sometimes create empty manufacturer pages. I can't redirect these empty pages because there's a chance that products will be brought back in stock and the page will be populated again. What can we do so that these pages won't get marked as duplicates while they're empty? Write unique short descriptions about the companies? Would the placement of these short descriptions matter--top of the page under the category name vs bottom of the page underneath where the products would go? The links in the left sidebar, top, and in the footer our part of our site architecture, so those are always going to be the same. To contrast, here's what a manufacturer page with products looks like: Thanks! http://www.vetdepot.com/littermaid-manufacturer.html

Too Many On-Page Links
I recently took on a website design client and ran his website through a battery of tests using Pro to take a look at the crawl errors. One that seems to stump me is the error "Too many On-Page links" concerning his blog. (http://franksdesigns.com/wp/blog) This is the first time I've seen this error and am rather confused. The report says there are 104 links on this page. However, I'm having trouble grasping this concept or finding the 104 links. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support!
