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 -
Changing Targeted Keywords on Landing Page
So we have a landing page that is ranking for a few of our targeted keywords but we are thinking about splitting the page into two and moving some of the content onto its own page. Our page at the moment has allot of content for keyword A and a little bit for keyword B, we are ranking for quite a few search terms around keyword A and a couple (but allot less) around keyword B, so we want to create a new page with content for keyword B ...hopefully that makes sense... So my question is are there any best practices around this sort of thing? We obviously dont want to negatively affect the rankings we are already gaining for keyword A and I'm worried that moving content around will do that. Thanks!

Page not ranking despite indicators showing should easily be mid-1st page?
I have many years old website selling a service. The main keyword is 47% competitive, and we used to be #1 page 2, occasionally page 1 couple years back. Domain authority is double of any of the competitors on 1st page, followed root domain links is many times that of 1st page competitors, infact against some of them almost 10 times as much, MozRank and MozTrust higher too. Infact, every metric is higher than competition. Only metric which isn't as good is Followed vs NoFollowed links metric, 95% of our links are NoFollowed, but we are still #1 in external followed links. Yet we are stuck on 4th page, and on some localizations we are not even in Top 50. This has happened slowly over time, not a overnight thing. Page we are trying to rank for gets grade A for optimizations, yet we have less significant pages ranking higher for that keyword. Further, newer pages tend to rank better than old ones. The whole site actually ranks quite low and we are not even getting search traffic for long tail keywords.

How many times to use a keyword on a page?
Okay, so i have read around, and watched Matt Cutts' video on this and read rand's post about this. But, I still have questions; how many times should I use a keyword on a page? I have read for shorter pages 2-3X and 4-6X for longer pages. I know to put it in the url title h1, the first paragraph and sprinkle it around the page. Is it all realtive to how long the content is? or should I just be following the 2-3X and 4-6X rule? Thanks for your help. Peter

Plural vs singular keyword usage - on-page optimization
The on-page report card appears to include both plural and singular versions of keywords in reporting the keywords within the body, which results in a keyword stuffing warning. My question is, is it truly keyword spamming to use over 15 instances of a keyword that is spread across plural and singular versions of the keyword? If keywords are lumped together this way by Google's algorithms, why do pages rank differently for singular and plural versions of the same keyword?

Help Selecting Home, Category, Product Page Keywords
Hi folks, I read the beginners guide (a couple times, haha) but I have some questions on specific keyword selection for pages on our site. We make natural skin care products. Goat milk soap is our flag ship product and we make about 15 different varieties. For the moisturizers, we have normally at most two different kids (two body lotions, two body butters, one facial moisturizer, etc). My questions are: What keywords should I select to optimize the home page for? Should these be broad keywords like "natural skin care"? We've never tried to rank for things like this before because they are highly competitive. Or should they be specific keywords? Specific keywords would compete with our own product pages I think, which is not good, right? What page should I select to optimize for the term "goat milk soap"? Since we make many varieties, I'm inclined to optimize the "category" page for the term "goat milk soap", and optimize the individual product pages for variations on it (e.g. "lavender goat milk soap"). Does that make sense? This site is a brand new site for us and we've done practically zero SEO work on it so far. I'm just kinda getting into SEO. So I'm just trying to figure out a good strategy before I begin. If you want to check out the site its http://alabu.com. Any suggestions on a general SEO strategy are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hal
