Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey Mozzers,

I'm wondering if anybody knows of a way that I can stop google reading a certain part of text within my H1 texts?

My issue is that I have individual office pages on my site, but many offices are based in the same city; such as 'London'. I want to keep London within the H1 tag for user experience but I do not want it to be picked up by the search engines and start a canonical issue.

I've seen some people say to use document.write or use an image. Does anybody know of a correct way of doing this?

Many Thanks.

Hi there,

1. Regarding the capitals, You should optimise it so it reads easily and IT'S NOT SHOUTING AT YOU LIKE THIS. (Sorry for the capitals; thought it would make my point clearer)

2. If your title texts looks legitimate and words are not all in capitals unless they are abbreviations such as 'SEO', you should be fine.

3. I doubt anyone will take you seriously if your text doesnt look legitimate. But thats my opinion. Again, try to bring attention to words which are key to your topic or subject but do not make them look out of place on purpose.

For example if your topic was ice cream in the london area try; 'Ice Cream in London' or 'London Ice Cream'. Simple and effective.

Hope this has cleared the issue up for you.

Thankyou for this Dan,

I've read this before and bookmarked it actually, very informative.
I can see how the duplicate would flag up, we have 43 offices all over the country to try and maintain and all of their titles are the same e.g. [Estate Agent Name].

Is this wrong? Im wondering wether to include the city or location within the title.

Cheers

Thankyou Shelly,

I know this already and that's what has made me confused. They are abusing the system and yet they have not been penalised.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

Hi good folk of SEOmoz,

I've recently updated a number of place pages for my client who is an estate agent.

I have to admit that they were a little keyword stuffed, but at the time my competitor; who ranks first, was filled with keywords.

For example in their title it states "[company name] estate agent [location]"

I thought that this was a big no-no and it should not be done?

They also have keywords stuffed into categories and description. Im confused on how they are getting away with this?

I have searched on the Google place page support forum and can not find a definitive guide on the exact rules.

Could anybody be so kind to help me out? i.e Where to put keywords and locations in the title and categories

Thankyou.
