Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, yes £12k in total. Thanks for your reply I appreciate you taking the time out.

Hi All,

Looking for some views/opinions on this one, my question is "What would you expect an SEO agency to have delivered for a single client over a 6 month period with a budget of £12k?"

I appreciate that its fairly open ended and very subjective not knowing the site/circumstances but is there a general consensus or minimum you'd expect to have seen delivered for example x number of backlinks, x number pieces of content created, technical improvements made etc etc.

Any steer, views or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All,

I've been doing a bit of research for a customer and whilst I was looking through the google results pages I came across this interesting rich snippet for a Wikipedia page (see screen shot attached). Its returned some extra information i.e Owner, Water Source, Number of Stills and Capacity.

Is this just Google playing around or is this something I've missed and you can markup additional information for your rich snippet?

Thanks in advance

Jon

Ok, I'm going be really cheeky here, so apologies in advance!

We have this site www.simplychaise.co.uk and its not ranking anywhere in the top 50 for the term 'Chaise Longue'

Moz has picked up a few issue with duplicate titles and a couple of 404's which I will fix shortly, It dosen't have any backlinks but I'm stumped as to why it isn't ranking higher than what it is, I'm not expecting 1st position but outside of the top 50 is something else.

The site looks ok to me, but I think it might be a case of I've been looking at it so long that I can no longer see the wood for the trees. Could any kind hearted Mozer point me in the right direction here please, what am i missing?  I'd greatly appreciate it, many thanks in advance for being so cheeky and well, useless!

Thanks Donna, I've done just that and had a closer look at the competition and I'm leaning towards the lack of back links being the factor holding it back.

Thanks Tammy, Some good points there for me to take a closer look at.

Hi Ranvir,

Without actually viewing them I can only assume that there very similar? Is the exact same copy appearing on both pages?

Thought I'd provide a bit of an update on this one for you all, I add the gtin number to two different products one gtin was added as a product attribute (text and number) and the other was added with schema markup (Gtin14 - https://schema.org/gtin14).

I've seen no ranking boost to either product on the keywords I'm tracking for them however, I have seen a small increase in traffic to the product which uses schema markup. From what I can tell from my analytics it would appear that some users actually search google using the gtin number!

It seems as if gtin14 isnt widely used at present and as such I'm ranking in top spot. So i'm thinking of adding the gtin to all our products as a bit of a quick win to rank top for a small percentage of searches.

i suppose it all depends on what products your selling and your user demographic as to wether your potential customers would ever search using the gtin? My personal view after some more reading (gs1 smart search, formally gtin on the web - http://www.gs1.org/gs1-smartsearch) is that gtin is going to become more prominent in the not too distant future, but hey I'm no expert. I'd love to know if anyone else has tested this out or if they try it and get the same results as I have?

Hi all,

We have a site that sells whisky and is ranking well for a specific 3 keyword phrase for example "glendronach hielan whisky" (brand, product, type) which is great but the site isn't doing well for 2 keyword phrase for example "glendronach whisky" or "glendronach hielan".

I'm a little confused as to why it wouldn't rank higher for the 2 keyword phrases given that there present in the 3 keyword phrase. Is there a massive jump between ranking well between 3 and 2 keyword phrases?

If so what could anyone suggest to try and rank on the 2's?

Hi All,

Quick question and I think I already know the answer but wanted to get a second opinion.

We have a ecom site running woo commerce and the theme is coded to insert the product category name under the product name on the category page. This has resulted in the category page being stuffed with my keyword 'sofa beds'.

Am I right in thinking that in the eyes of Google this page will be penalised for over use of my keyword or does Google view category pages differently?

Thanks in advance

"You could try name and alternateName."

I think I might give it a go and see what happens.

Thanks
