Could I optimize my homepage anymore ?
-
Hi everyone,
My website is http://brownquarterhorse.com I was wondering if it would be possible to optimize my homepage anymore. I just feel like it's lacking SEO. The page grader has rated it an 'A', but im not sure if the page grader is a good reflection ?

Tons of great answers in here!
I also recommend checking out Rand's latest blog post, which addresses this questions of "so my site's optimized, what do I do now?"

Hi there.
Also look at optimizing loading times. It tells me about 4 seconds with no throttling to onload event and more than 14 seconds(!) till full page load. I assume that on mobile devices that time will be at least double. No bueno for users.

Hi
There are three key parts to it generally. This is very general so ask for detail on any part. The first is technical seo, making sure your site can be found by search engines like google. Ria has mentioned that. To that end the below technical site audit guide from moz is a gem. Lets you tick off where you are at. A website checklist! Two items I would immediately look at are "mobile optimization" & "home page loading speed".

The second and third parts flow together in some ways - backlinks and content creation. There is a lot of information out there about content so you will find plenty of info. On backlinks - another great link. https://mza.bundledseo.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links
If you feel comfortable with your site after reading both links, you have all covered - you are well on your way to optimizing your ranking.
Hope that assists. Ask away for any clarification.

Hi Benjamin
Try to think of it more from a user perspective, having just visited your page my main concern would be I have no idea what the website is about. It should be immediately clear to the user within a few seconds what your website is about and what you would like them to do. Might be worth revisiting this
Regards

Hi Ria,
Thanks for responding,I have made sure that my titles are all relevant, made sure no links are broken, made sure there is no keyword stuffing happening.
I also have set all my alt- text for images and made sure there is no duplicated content. Apart from that I'm really not sure what else i could do to make it more optimized. I just feel like it is lacking SEO

I would suggest performing a full audit report of your homepage to find all the little bits you may have missed, if you're really unsure. What have you done so far to optimise the homepage?

Will my SEO Affect If I Redirect existing user from homepage to dashboard?
Hi Guys, My client (SaaS company) wants to redirect all the visitors to the dashboard if they have already created an account with them. The redirection would be done at the server level using a cookie. Does the redirection (though done only if user is already registered) affect SEO rankings? They want to be double sure. Thanks.

Why is our login page ranked higher than our homepage?
Hello everyone, When you search "ProtonMail", our Login page always ranks #1 while our homepage ranks #2. We're unsure why this is happening. The PA for our homepage is higher than the login page, and the login page itself basically has zero content except for a login form. We don't want to put the login page on robots.txt, we want to do our best to preserve it so that people can login. However it still does not make sense to us how the login page ranks higher, even though it has a lesser PA. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

What are some best practices for optimizing alternate versions of a brand name?
What are the best methods for ensuring that the correct spelling/formatting of a brand name rank in the SERP when an alternate formatting/spelling of the brand name is searched. Take for example the brand name (made up for example purposes), "SuperFry". Many customers search using the term "Super Fry" (with a space). To make things worse, not only does Google not return the brand name SuperFry, but it also auto corrects to another brand name "Super-Fri". Is there a common best practice to ensure the customer finds the intended brand name when they simply add a space in the search term? I assume a quick fix would be to create an ad words campaign for the alternate spellings/formatting. What about an organic solution? Perhaps we could create a special page talking about the alternate ways to spell the brand name? Would this solution send mixed signals to Google and potential hurt the over all rankings? Thanks much for any advice!

Hi Looking for a bit advice our client - www.financial-wise.co.uk We worked with this client on his old website www.mortgage-wise.co.uk we had him ranking for most local searches.

Is it better to have URLs of internal pages that are geo-targeted or point geo-targeted links to the homepage?
For example... Having links that are geo-targeted and pointing to this URL www.test.com/state-service/ or Not having any geo-targeted internal pages and just having links that are geo-targeted and pointing to this URL www.test.com Eventually the site will be a national campaign, so I am concerned about having so many geo-targeted internal pages. Thanks in advance!

As the title states, our homepage is at "example.com/default.html" but everybody that backlinks to us (as expected) to "example.com" does that mean that I am probably losing a lot of the power of my links??
