On page SEO Strategy / What pages to use?
-
What is the best page to use for targeting your hard to rank keywords?
The keyword phrases in question here are "Acrylic Tank Manufacturing", "Custom Aquariums", & "Acrylic Aquariums"
As of right now we have created 3 separate pages for each one of these keyword phrases.
http://seaquaticaquariums.com/custom-aquariums for "Custom Aquariums"
http://www.seaquaticaquariums.com/custom-aquariums/acrylic-aquariums/ for "Acrylic Aquariums"
http://www.seaquaticaquariums.com/services/acrylic-tank-manufacturing/ for "Acrylic Tank Manufacturing"
Or are we better of using the home page http://www.seaquaticaquariums.com/ for the our main hard to rank for terms. Generally speaking I would think more people will link to our home page.

Hemani,
A quick leeds form is not really an option in our business. To get an idea of what a customer wants it takes nearly a complete page. Perhaps we could put a "GET A QUOTE" link in the header. Maybe this would increase conversions.
The blog is a great idea. We will work on implementing this right away.
Obviously our home page is the most engaging. My concern is that optimizing internal pages with a lower user experience will lead to lower conversions. Based on this should we try to optimize our home page for the heavy hitting keywords.
Right now our bounce rate from the home page is right around 30%. My guess is that it will be more if people start landing on the internal pages that are not as attractive.

More relevant copy? What I said is add more content on the service pages which simply means that current content on the page is too short to convert! Try to add more engaging and encouraging content for the targeted audience to convert.
If there is a possibility of reducing the total number f images per page... then go ahead and do that but there is no hard and fast rule for it! But more importantly add image alt names so that images can be indexed and ranked by Google engine accordingly!
Addition of keywords on the website copy is fine but adding too many times can hurt your SEO and also known as over optimization.
I believe for businesses like this quick leads form usually work... you can give it a try to see if lead ratio gets improved!
Yes, I am advising you to start a blog... social media is one thing but blog actually helps you get rankings for long tail key phrases and at the same time engaging and educational content on the blog will help targeted audience to convert.
hope this helps!

Moosa Hemani,
Thank you for the response. Couple questions though.
-
More relevant copy? How much more?
-
Should we reduce the number of images? Most if not all of the images already have title and descriptive tags.
-
Over optimization? What do you mean by this?
-
You think we should add a lead form to all our service pages? There are links on ever service page to a contact us form.
-
Are you saying we should start a blog on the site? We plan on using facebook, twitter, and google+ for this.

Ok, in my previous experience for many websites under different niches, pages that does not contain commercial content tend to contain more links then service pages and for some obvious reasons you can get most results on the home page.
I believe at the end of the day you need this website to produce leads no matter if home page ranked or inner pages (correct me if I am wrong!)
To start I would say your current strategy of creating separate page is fine but here are the following things that I see missing on your website.
- More content should be needed on the targeted pages
- Images should be light and properly optimized
- Be careful about over optimization
- Leads form is missing on the targeted service pages
- Non-Commercial pages do not exist... I believe having a blog is necessary for grabbing quality links as well as converting potential clients!
Hope this helps!

You'd have to have more text on your home page to optimize for all three. My home page has about 250 words which is the least amount of words for all pages of my site. As a general summary / introduction without being specific, I think it's harder to get more on home page, especially without making it look contrived or convoluted. I notice some of your other pages have plenty more text. I'd say leave it as it is or go for 2 at most perhaps, but not 3 or else you have a real mind-bender to make it look natural.

My site on desktop browser: page 2 /mobile browser: page 0
Using my two most pertinent keywords in Chome my site shows up page two. Using the same keywords on my iPhone does not show my site at all (I clicked on to page 15). I have a mobile ranking of 84 on Google PageSpeed Insights. Could be a bit higher but not enough to totally ignore my site. What am I missing?

Understanding why our new page doesn't rank. Internal link structure to blame? + understand canonical pages more.
Hi guys. Sorry it's an essay...BUT, i think a lot of you will find this an interesting question. This question is in 2 (related) parts, and I imagine it would be an 'advanced' SEO question. Hoping you guys can help bring some real insight 🙂 Always amazed at the quality for this forum/ community. **Context... ** We had a duplicate content issue caused by this page and it's product permutations, so we placed canonical tags on all the product permutations to solve it. Worked a treat. However, we now have more **product ranges. **We now sell Diaries, Notebooks & Music books, which are clearly different from one another. So...we've placed canonical tags on all the product permutations leading back to the 'parent' theme. In other words, all the diary permutations 'lead back' to the diary page. All the notebooks permutations 'lead back' to the main notebook page. So on and so forth. Make sense so far? Context end..... Issue. Amazingly our Diary page outranks our notebook pagefor the search term 'Design your own Notebook'. The notebook page is well optimised for this search term, and the diary page avoids the word 'notebook' altogether (so no keyword cannibalisation going on). Possible reason? Our Diary page has a vast amount of internal links to it throughout our site. The notebook page has only a few. Could this be the issue? If so, what reading/ blogs/ content/ tools would you recommend to help understand and solve this problem? i.e) Better understanding internal link structure for SEO. 2nd part of the question (in the context of internal linking for SEO). When there are internal links to a page with a conical tag does that 'count' towards the 'parent page', or simply towards that specific page? I really hope that makes sense. If it's clear as mud just shout. Isaac. EDIT: All pages in question have been indexed since we added these changes to the site.

Page Layout Updates and Mobile Pages with Ads
I have been trying to do some research on the Page Layout Algorithm and Top Heavy Ads and much of what I read does not mention about mobile pages as apposed to desktop. I am curious if the Page Layout updates can be effected by mobile pages as well and if there is any good articles on this subject. Also is this Algorithm been incorporated into its regular algorithm or do we still have to wait for refreshes to see the impact? Cesar

Landing Pages
Howdy Guys, We currently have around 19 landing pages that are near enough identical for each make of car. The content on each page isn't identical but you can tell its a template. Do you think we should change this and just target models instead of makes. Thanks, Scott

Best Layout for Product Page SEO
Hi I am looking to revamp my website and would like to know your views on the best product layout for SEO - in particular if it better to have tabulated content like play.com http://goo.gl/4xdqp or non tabulated content like Amazon. http://goo.gl/cojKj Are there any pros or cons to each approach? I believe tabulated looks better and is easier to navigate but do the engines see this as hidden text? I have been told this is an issue with expandable divs. Many thanks David
