Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi David,

If you're confident enough that there is no duplicate related issues on your website, I wouldn't worry about implementing the canonical tag. You can use the tag on an individual page basis, should you feel that you need to tell Google which is the original page.

Nofollow links do not contribute to any ranking value for the majority of search engines, such as Google and Bing. You could have a nofollow link on Wikipedia or even Google's homepage but that link won't count when it comes to increasing your rankings. However. that does not imply that the link is not valuable!

Hi,

Firstly, I would have 'Doors' as a main page either in the navigation or in a dropdown. I'm assuming that this is a main product/service you provide?

Using 'Doors' as the URL, you could use 'Metal Doors' as the H1 with multiple and closely related H2's which are naturally optimised without forcing your keywords in.

For example,

H1 - Metal Doors
H2 - Metal Doors for Flats & Technical Rooms
H2 - Steel Doors for Private Houses

You wouldn't need a landing page for all of those search terms since it's achievable to rank for them from the one page.

Hi,

We have worked on a site in a similar situation as the one you're in.

I would personally remove the linked media through the appropriate template file. I assume there's no reason for these pages to even be there?

If possible, you could set these pages to noindex.

If all else fails, you could set a canonical tag to the original post where the image resides, this would eliminate any issues from an SEO point of view.

Hi,

To put it simply, anyone that is looking to benefit from SEO will not be using a one page website.

After the keyword research has been executed, how would you outrank the competition for 50+ diverse search terms all stemming from one page?

In the world of SEO, it is general knowledge that you can only realistically optimise a single page for only a handful of search terms.

And in my opinion, even the user experience is debatable as the user is forced to re-evaluate the way a site functions (clicking a link triggers a scrolling effect for instance).

For me personally, one page sites are a major no no, unless of course you're not looking to SEO the site.

I assume you're concerned with the heading "what clients say about us?"? It certainly won't hurt you, however this text may not be indexed or ranked within Google. Since the nature of the content is testimonial related, it won't make a great difference either way. As I mentioned, Google is not penalising sites that hide content if done properly, and with good intention (not spam). They just don't take into account the hidden content when positioning a website in the SERPs.

I would recommend sticking to nofollow for company profile Social Media links. Aside from that, I would suggest using dofollow for your own Social Media links, that's if you have any. May they be sitewide or individual links on a contact page. However, it's not going to make much of an impact to your site!
