Topic pages - Word count & other insights
-
Hello everyone,
It's my first time asking a question here, so I hope I follow the rules. Let me know if my question is not properly asked, formatted etc.
Question: What's the min # of words we should have on topic page (related links)?
Also, let me know if you have any additional advice with regards to topic pages strategy.
Thanks!

Hi Sophie,
There are no definitive guidelines on this, but many follow a rule that there should be at least 200 words of quality copy (as a minimum) per page, but I certainly wouldn't be looking to go lower than this.
As for strategies, what is it you are trying to achieve? Higher positions in Google? Improving the readability? To gain conversions?

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?

SEO'd Title Tag for Product Pricing Page with Little to No SV for Product Pricing Related Terminology
Hello, What should one do about a title tag for product pricing page (of a SaaS company)? The only keywords/phrases that have SV are "Acme Pricing" "Acme Product Pricing" and "Acme Solutions Pricing", but obviously I don't want to use all three since "Acme" and "Pricing" repeat in all three. Should the title tag just be "Acme Pricing"? In past experiences, a title tag that short typically gets changed by Google in SERPs. Should one not optimize the title tag at all? Any thoughts, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Different landing page "stole" keyword.
Hi everyone. So I optimized and used the on-page grader for landing page A. I got it down from 15 to 9 on its ranking. Weirdly, that keyword and landing page A tanked to 60 on its ranking, seemingly overnight. While this was all happening, landing page B, which was never optimized for this keyword, effectively "stole" the keyword and it now has a ranking of 9 for this keyword. As I see it, this keyword and landing page B don't match as well as the keyword and landing page A, but I don't want to lose the increased organic traffic I now receive. Does anyone have insight to this or direct me to an already answered question regarding this? Thanks a ton, -Josh

Separate Page for each Keyword - doesn't it sound to be a dead tactic?
Hi everyone, I wonder what you think about a strategy of creating new separate pages for each targeted keyword? Option 1. Something like this: website.com/keyword-1
Keyword Research | | seocentury
website.com/keyword-2
...
website.com/keyword-100 I think it is better to have all the keywords grouped and target pages for the groups instead of individual keywords. Option 2. Something like this: website.com/group-1
website.com/group-2
...
website.com/group-7 What is the option you would choose? Thanks & Regards.0 -
Image Description & Image Title
Our site allows us to update via WYSIWYG editor. When adding photos to our pages it gives us the option to add (Image Description) & (Image Title). When optimizing a single page how should we properly be filling these in? Should Image title be keyword we are trying to rank for? If so, should we be following proper keyword density ratio to avoid keyword stuffing? Thank you

Google Keyword tool data + No. 1 Serp rank =/= to taffic on landing page
So a keyword we are targeting "painted bedroom furniture" google keyword tool says gets 480 exact local searches (and 880 broad), and in the same local google we have ranked 1st for months (and currently we are 2nd and 3rd too), but looking at the google analytics that landing page has only gotten 78 unique page views from searches and only 21 from "painted bedroom furniture" . (the 2nd link gets 12 page views and the 3rd gets none, from that keyword) Now for me that does not make sense! For other keyword which we rank No.1 the keyword data and analytics generally match/make sense. Is there something I'm missing?
