I ran that page thru screaming frog and it came back with a "blocked by robots" status.

The second tool you suggested is not finding the noindex tag and I don't have an explanation for that, nor am I familiar with the tool.

A site command does not return any results.

Are you sure you have a problem? Is there another example you can provide?

Just updating the URL of the post Miriam mentioned. It's been moved and is returning a 404 error. Try https://www.imprezziomarketing.com/is-permanently-closed-killing-your-ranking-4-case-studies/ instead.

That's a question for your website or theme developer Clay. I don't think anyone here can answer with so little information and no access to your website.

Before you do that, take a look at the source code of your site now to see if you can find an h1 entry title. It might save you unnecessary rework.

If you're using Wordpress, there might be an H1 entry title that's causing the duplication. Some themes add an H1 entry title by default and populate it with the post name.

To get rid of it, you'd have to make a change to your theme template. VIsit the support group for your theme provider and see if they have provided a how-to or can provide that information there.

Same question but for the www version of the site. Can it route directly to HTTPS without a redirect? Do I just have to delete the existing non-www to www redirect and follow your logic above? It will take care of both www and non-www redirecting to HTTPS?

I have also asked the help desk several times for a solution, although not recently. I was told it wasn't possible.

A meta refresh can be used as a back-handed way to redirect one page to another. It works but causes a delay in the page rendering which is considered a poor user experience and therefore typically tagged as a warning.

What causes a meta refresh? You probably have a meta refresh tag in the header section of your code. It would look something like this - . "30" means wait 30 seconds before doing anything. The URL listed after that is the page you want the website visitor redirected to.

How to fix? Get rid of the meta refresh tag and replace it with a 301 redirect. Here's Moz's help page on 301 redirects. https://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection

Does that answer your question?

"it does sound to me like your agency has enlarged its client stable without making the necessary hires to enlarge the staff"

The agency may have a misguided understanding of how SEO works and thinks you can add a few tags and easy-to-acquire backlinks and their clients' sites will magically skyrocket to the top of search results and convert. You might have to do some education at the same time. I'd prepare some simplified and relevant examples to try to get your points across more convincingly.

Good luck!

Let's just do the math.

Let's say you can productively work 8 hours a day, 21 days a month. That's 168 hours total.

Divide that by 55 clients and you get 3 hours a month.

I haven't added in any extra time for your "junior" as he/she is probably already using up some of your 168 hours as it is in managing, mentoring, training time.

There is no way you can achieve anything measurable on 3 hours a month, regardless of what the client has signed up for, regardless of the role and responsibilities you've been assigned. Furthermore, if you flip it around the other way, would you want to accept a client that was only willing to pay you 3 hours a month with the expectation that you could "move the needle"? I know I wouldn't.

I don't have any evidence to support this theory, but I suspect engagement has a lot to do with it.

Here's a good article that explains how you can use Google Analytics to assess your own website's visitor engagement. You might want to compare desktop to mobile to see if there is a noticeable difference. It's very hard to get data that allows you to compare engagement metrics across different websites unfortunately.

You're welcome.

If you have the answer to your question, you should mark one or more responses with "good answer" so this thread can be closed.
