Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Web designer said she can't change out the H1 tags due to the layout of the website. Looking at the backend, I see pages, subpages and sub-subpages - I just wondered if there was some rule-of-thumb in laying out a Wordpress site whereupon a person didn't stack pages like this to avoid this problem of if it was simply a theme issue.

Great, thanks everybody.

Thank you - I will bring up a theme change. I just didn't know if the structure of how you lay out your website and how subpages and pages under subpages affected SEO. What is the best practice for this?

I haven't looked into this in a while, it used to be that you didn't want to bury pages beyond three clicks from the main page. What is the rule now in order to have deep pages indexed?

We are working on optimizing a client's website and asked the client's webmaster to change a handful of H1 tags. The webmaster said they could not do to the existing names being pre-set in the design.

The website is built in Wordpress. The client has repeating H1 tags due to the 'design'. I have attached a snapshot of the backend.

Is there a rule around Wordpress site structure where this doesn't happen? Is it worth changing? If so,what is the best solution.

Thank you ahead of time.

I am running a site through Screaming Frog and many of the pages under "Content" are reading text/html; charset=UTF-8. Does this harm ones SEO and what does this really mean? I'm running his site along with this competitors and the competitors seems very clean with content pages reading text/html.

What does one do to change this if it is a negative thing?

Thank you

It has been my experience that Google Plus is a lot like Facebook in the way they break out their Personal and Business pages. They make it difficult to solicit others through your Business page. I do what you are doing, put the original post on the business page, switch over to my Personal page and Share that post so that the people I have pulled in personally can see it. I have noticed people will click on my post and go to my business page and follow me from there.

Hope this helps.

Thank you everybody. I will give whitespark a shot.

Great, thanks.

Hello - I have a client who is a realtor and changed agencies. I edited their Google Places entry and the new name of their agency and address are showing - but so is their old listing. The agency they left is now trying to sue them for showing up in a number one position with Google Places under their agency name.

Is this an indexing issue with Google? Their name shows up under both agency names. The corrected one shows most often, but the old one is still popping up on occasion.

Thanks,

I am assisting a company with reputation management. While we know we must use our brand name plus a modifier (or many different modifiers) within our numerous company owned blogs, websites as well as within press releases, blog entries, and article topics - so that we can hopefully get all of our sites to push out the negative ones for the use of our name - the question is whether to simultaneously compete for popular keyword terms to gain more secondary traffic that may not be looking for our company name but product?

If getting more hits on our sites helps our rankings, then would it be worth targeting specific key phrases? Or, should we just focus on our brand name only at this point?

Thanks,
