Hi, new to the site so have a question about how to fix certain things. I'm ranking 44th on google for this keyword, now on the rankings tool it is saying that the page it's ranking this keyword for is my homepage www.theseatroutinn.co.uk. How can I make all the fixes it's asking me to do on my homepage ?
Example :
-
Broad Keyword Usage in Document
Easy fix
<dl>
<dt>Body text</dt>
<dd>0</dd>
<dt>Explanation</dt>
<dd>Search engines and users are both seeking the targeted keywords in the text of the page. Employing keywords in the document element is not only a best practice, but an essential part of SEO (and good user experience).</dd>
<dt>Recommendation</dt>
<dd>Employ the keyword at least once in the document text of the page.</dd>
<dd>--</dd>
<dd>On the page it mentions restaurant three times in the text, what am I missing?</dd>
<dd>Thank you for any help</dd>
<dd>Kind regards</dd>

Hi James, sorry for the delay. You can access your source code (ctrl+U in non ie browsers or right click + view source code), and search for <title>(using ctrl+F), if you want to improve your seo skills I really advise you to try coding domething and studying a bit your html code so you can easily spot wrong things, since errors are not always 404s :-)</p></title>

Thank

Hi James, I agree with Keri, the beginners' guide is a great content developed by the seomoz guys. If you want to achieve the success, you have to prepare yourself, and know at least the key elements of a page because there you'll want to include your most important keywords.
- title: text shown on top of you page and in blue in google result page. You want there some keywords and at the beginning if possible
- meta description: that's the short descriptive text below the title in google serps. You need to write compelling descriptions to attract users' attention and have your keyword bolded so to improve the CTR
Fix those two elements, try to enahcne the density of your restaurant in totnes keyphrase in your restaurant page and you'll be near the success

Hi mememax,
Thank you for the reply, very interesting Indeed. I will speak to my web guy and ask him to make some changes. Why is my keyword ranking for restaurants totnes not actually picking it up from the Restaurant page ? But from my home page according to link analysis.
What is Meta Description again ?
Also the titles ? Is that when you click view source in the background ?
Thanks for the help
James

Hi James, I'm seeing that your not focusing only on restaurant keywords since your business ismore htan just a restaurant. I think that you're not achieveing high results due to how much that keyword is diluted on your homepage.
1st: you have a page made for restaurant keyword http://theseatroutinn.co.uk/Restaurant.html use that. Try to enhance that page to achieve better links and better rankings
2nd you always use the same title: "The Sea Trout Inn in South Devon, Near Totnes - Luxury Bed and Breakfast and Restaurant - XXXXX" The xxx part seems to me the only one you change. Try to make shorter titles (normally less than 60 characters) and don't go after everything in all pages, but focus. In the restaurant page you may think aboutchanging it to: "Luxury Restaurant in Totnes | Eat in the South Trouth Inn". In the meta description you may try something more attractive including a call to action like "Do you want an enjoyable lunch in Totnes? Try the south throuth inn a luxury restaurant in totnes"
In that way you'll have more different titles in you website and pages highly focused which won't cannibalize rankings from one to other.

Can someone please take a peek at this?
I used to rank really high for the phrase "characteristics of down syndrome" for this post: https://noahsdad.com/physical-characteristics/ but not I've lost almost all traffic to the post. Even if you search for "characteristics of down syndrome Noah's Dad" the post doesn't seem to come up. I have no idea what is going on. If someone has a few minutes to take a look it would be very helpful. Also, I have lost almost all organic traffic to my site. I used to get close to 100,000 visits a month from organic traffic and now I'm getting 3k or so. So almost all of it is gone. I'm hoping whatever is going on with this post can be figured out so I can address and fix all of the other pages as well. Thanks so much for your time.

Please critique inexperienced keyword research strategy
Hello, Here's how I'm gathering keywords for my new website. I'm using a hrefs to gather (through looking at 50 competitors) many top content topics in the industry. I will make a list of hot keywords. Then I'm going to look at keyword planner and Google and add to the list. What else can I do? Tips/Articles/Videos welcome.

Does Anchor Text in Links Count When Google Looks at Overall Keywords on the Page?
So, on our site, we have a list of related blog posts on a page that focuses on bamboo flooring. These blogs posts have anchor text like "What's the best bamboo flooring?" "How to install bamboo flooring." "Yada yada bamboo flooring yada." Because the main keyword for the page is bamboo flooring, would the presence of these words within anchor text on the page be considered as keywords on the bamboo flooring page, affecting that page and possibly stuffing within that page?

How can I easily track multiple keywords for multiple pages?
We are creating landing pages to target keywords, and would like to be able to have something set up so at a glance we can see each page's rank for its targeted keyword. For example, if we have pages with the URLs of example.com/sites/purple-widgets, example.com/sites/purple-widgets-for-cheap, example.com/sites/cheap-purple-widgets, etc., we'd like to see the rank of each of those pages for their respective keyword ("purple widgets", "purple widget for cheap", "cheap purple widgets", etc.). Any suggestions?

Where can I find data on growth in individual keyword search terms, over tiime?
I am operating in an emerging market, and want to understand the underlying growth in the relevant Google keyword search terms. I can use this as a proxy for market growth. I have checked out Google Trends, but this confusingly shows peak search volumes (out of 100) not search volumes. Are there any better tools out there? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can I get your input on keyword usage in the title tag
Hello fellow mozzers! I've been struggling with my title tag and would like to get your opinion. We provide IT services in the Los Angeles area. I've been doing keyword research for the past week and found about 400 keywords from various sources. I then looked at my top 5 competitors on Google and analyzed their homepage title tags, the most common keywords that they use in their title tags are: IT Support Los Angeles
Keyword Research | | igor.pinchevskiy
Computer Support Los Angeles
Network Consulting Los Angeles
Network Support Los Angeles
IT Services Los Angeles Since it is recommended to have your title tag under 70 characters I've compiled the following title tag for my home page: IT Services, Network Consulting, IT and Network Support in Los Angeles which is exactly 70 characters, however my company name is an additional 9 characters, I think it would be wise to include in the title tag of the home page however I can't decide if I should exceed the limit by including the company name to the title tag or should I remove something from the title tag and then add the company name? 1. What do you guys think, is that a good title tag to use as is? 2. Should I add the company name without removing any keywords or remove a keyword? 3. I'm trying to target local traffic since I can't compete with the big dogs yet, so I want to be in the SERPs when someone searches IT Services Los Angeles, IT Support Los Angeles, etc... Do I need to add Los Angeles after each keyword, or I can use a single instance of Los Angeles like in the example title tag that I have? 4. For the other remaining 400+/- keywords I want to use some of them to create static pages and some for blog posts, is that the way to go? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!0
