Strategy for product content page development.
-
I have a project to work on product and landing pages for a website with 5000+ SKU's.
I am looking to hire a content writer to do this but I want a strategy in place to develop these pages. I have googled a bit and they mostly talk about the body of the page. I am looking for best practices for the entire page, Title, H1, Meta and body.
Any good tutorials for this type of project anyone can recommend?
Anyone with experience doing this type of project?
Thanks,
Mark

You are a proponent of adding the website name in the title? You mean the Title, not the Meta Title correct? And you are recommending nothing in the Meta keywords?
The second H1 on our site is all part of the template so should be a quick change. I think it can be completly removed does not need to be changed to H2 as it is just a duplicate of the other H1... I think will need to check it out.
Thanks so much for the input.

Hi Mark,
By personas I mean focusing the content on the needs of the customer as a priority - so making sure that the landing pages you're sending out for copywriting are focused on addressing their needs (like needing fast turn around etc that also address your business USPs?) - more for category pages etc than product pages, but product pages should still be focused on your key audience and their needs.
This should increase engagement with the pages from a customer point of view (which increases engagement and can have a positive impact on rankings).
Usually you'd have a format like this for meta:
H1=unique primary keywords
Meta title = Primary keyword - secondary keyword | Website name (<56 chars)
Meta description = Add in the primary keyword but describe the product - after all, people use it to decide whether to click through (<156 chars)
keywords: Do not fill in the keywords field - it's largely not used and can be seen as spammy.Also - never have 2 H1s. It may be worth you pulling the site through a tool like ScreamingFrog to find all your duplicate H1s? A page should only have 1 H1, so I'd change that second one to a H2, or add a benefits driven title instead so it's not duplicated?
Hope all that helps

Thanks for the response. What do you mean by "personas" in this context?
We do have many products that are similar so duplicate content will be an issue. We currently have lots of pages that the Title = H1 = URL = Meta Description = Meta Keywords. Do you know of a best practice to differentiate these fields?
I went on our site to find an example. The first product I looked at has this affliction. Also there are two H1 fields both the same.

Hi Mark,
It depends what keywords you're going to target for each product page but I'd say that it would be best to first create a map of keywords and pages to also map back to your personas from a content marketing point of view.
This will then make sure that you're not going to cannibalise any keywords or landing pages with potential duplicate content.
A few resources here on structure of page titles etc:

Hope that's helpful?

Should we target Outsource and Offshore on same page?
While doing keyword research I found out that there are 2 keywords with same search count and difficulty level.

Outsource Engineering Design India
Offshore Engineering Design India My question is, should I create 2 separate pages for these keywords with the addition of their extended related keywords or just keep one long page with both these keywords targeted? Technically, Outsource and Offshore have separate meanings but on SERP it seems like both are searched for the same purpose. Can you please share your views on this? Thanks0 -
Which is more important - exact match on two pages with slightly similar content or completely unique content but no exact match?
I want to rank for two terms - one is the abbreviation and one is the actual phrase (think UX and user experience). Is it better to create two separate pages to benefit from the exact match keyword (given that the content is 51% unique) or should I work both the acronym and the phrase into one page? If I made the two pages, I could get in a lot more longtail keywords, however it's my belief that I should make one really robust page to ensure all possible link equity and user signals aren't split. Is this a valid argument or does the power of exact match keywords override the need for user signals?

How many keywords per web page?
Hi, what is the technique for ranking for keywords? Can you optimise a web page for more than one keyword? My moz report is telling me that a keyword I want to rank for is not in the page title, as it stands my page title has one keyword phrase. Sorry for such a newbie question, my understanding is you home page carries the most weight, so you would place your most wanted keywords there? The big question is, how many keywords per page?

How to optimize home page for several keywords
My issue is this. I'm getting a lot of "F" grades for certain keywords to my homepage using MOZ. the thing is I can't add to many keywords to title tag without going over 65 characters. It seems the title tag is most important and even though i have keywords in content and everything else, without title tag keyword its useless. can creating more than one title tag help or will that make things worse with search engines?

Partially Duplicated Content Advice
Hi Folks, I have a question about how duplicate content works. We sell all different kinds of goat milk soap. Each kind has its own product page and unique description. However, there are some benefits that all of the different soap have in common. I'd like to list those benefits on each individual goat milk soap page, with the product-specific benefits and description right below it. My questions are: 1. If I include the same exact block of text and images on each page, along with the unique description. Will the search engine see that as duplicate content? 2. Furthermore, will this dilute any keyword ranking ability that content brings to a page, because it occurs on 15 different pages? (i.e. the search engine can't tell which one is the "best" result). If so, what do you recommend in this kind of situation? Thanks, Hal
