How should be a perfect SEO Title, Description, H1 and H2?
-
Hello friends,
i have a very good question.
In a website of coupon codes, how should be a perfect Title, Description, H1 and H2?
For example: If our main keyword is "Promo codes Amazon" but we we want to get good results with "Coupon codes Amazon", "Discounts Amazon" and "Coupons Amazon", how should be a perfect SEO?
In some sites, people we use some tactics like month or year in title and descriptions or number of coupons and offers.
Thanks so much.

Love the mouse analogy - perfect. This is a great answer and a great example of how to answer. Agree with the substance as well. Find the morsels you're able to get quickly, feed off those & grow.

Egol has detailed a very good answer. It depends on your site strength and site attributes before you can make a firm decision.
ie if a weak site I would not start off with Discount as the first word in your title - The title has high SEO impact so I would chase keywords that are of high relevance. The title generally can only be 512 pixels before it truncates, back to 487 pixels. If a very weak site I would include a location in the title to get ranked for something, take a beach head and expand from there.
So use a serp optimizer tool and review your Title, before finalizing
So you could use as the title
Promo Codes Amazon | Coupon Codes | Name of website
Then depending on which is your landing page you may be able to make the SEO URL relevant. ie www.website.com/promotional-codes-amazon
The description has no SEO value that I am aware so this should be your CTA for a click. So that is where you have fun and can be aggressive is the tick ✓ Free Shipping ✓ Cash on Delivery ✓ 15 days Return - Jabong is using this to devastating effect at present.
Your H1 is important for SEO and again it depends on your site but it could simple be "Promotional Coupon Codes Los Angeles". H2 again should compliment your strategy so google sees all ducks lined up and has a clear picture of what your website does.
Not sure if answered your question, but hope that helps, as Egol indicates the strategy depends somewhat on the strength of your site.
For the actual perfect clickable optimized ad - we actually run scientific experiments in the form of surveys on them for clients. No other way we know it can be done. Finally use the pipe | splitting phrases in your headline as that makes generally for a more clickable ad that hyphens etc. plus uses less pixels.

Hi there
It really comes down to doing proper research based on what your users are searching for and making sure your content and on-site SEO are a reflection of those searches and finding variations of those queries/keywords.
It will take a bit of manual labor and research, but again, it will pay dividends in the long run.
Hope this helps a bit! Good luck!

Thanks so much for your answer.

It is really hard to give advice like this because "Perfect SEO Titles" and descriptions and headers depend upon what website you are going to publish them on.
If you have a big, strong, kickass website you can put very little effort into this and beat everybody around. Just slap up "Discount Coupon Codes for Amazon" and you will beat everybody for all permutations of the keywords. You will rake in almost everything.
Now if you have a new, weak, tiny site then you will have to be like a mouse in the elephant cage at the circus. He has to target one tiny little morsel of food on the floor, wait until none of the elephants are looking, dash out, grab it, run back to his hiding place, and pray that he doesn't get stepped on the entire time.
So, your title tags have to be customized to the strength of your site compared to your competitors and the query that you are targeting. Coupons is a very competitive niche so you will have to be very smart.
If you have a new, weak, tiny site, your goal should be to find queries that are used but that noone else is targeting. You gotta be a really smart and fast mouse. For that reason, researching what people might query and finding those that are unguarded is everything. And, generic advice has no value.

SEO rank down after Magento migration
Since November we migrated our shop from Magento 1 to 2 and our organic traffic has dropped by 50%. We still haven't figured out the cause (or a solution). Are there more Magento users who have the same issue? Charlotte (www.dochorse.nl)

New Subdomain SEO questions
I have a main site - mysite.com. I just created a subdomain - leadform.mysite.com I plan to use the leadform.mysite.com as a 1 page lead form only. I will link to leadform.mysite.com from mysite.com and also from other websites I own (myothersite.com etc.) - filtering all traffic to this form to capture leads. (Note - the leadform.mysite.com has CNAME to other server that hosts the backend of the form) My questions are: How should I link from mysite.com to leadform.mysite.com? With dofollow or nofollow? (mysite.com has 1000's of pages and would link from every page with "get a quote' type button) 2) How should I link from myothersite.com to leadform.mysite.com? With dofollow or nofollow? Any SEO risk linking to leadform.mysite.com from an outside domain? (myothersite.com has 1000's of pages and would link from every page with "get a quote' type button) Does it make sense to build links from outside sites to leadform.mysite.com directly to try to get that lead capture page to rank on it's own? 4) Does it make sense to link back from leadform.mysite.com back to mysite.com for seo value? With dofollow or nofollow? Thanks in advance for any help.

SEO Migration Options
Hi Guys, We have a www.sitename.com.au domain name and looking to move into the US market, and other markets in the future such as UK, Canada, etc. We are reviewing our options. Currently the .com.au is ccTLD to Australia so won't perform well in US. It seems the best option at this stage is to get a generic domain Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) like a .com. Then create different sub-folders for each country for example: .com our main country .com/us/ target us .com/uk/ Then in Google Search Console don't set country targeting for entire domain but use Hreflang Tags to specify the targeting for each page? -- This seems like a complex strategy to execute so i just want to check if this would be a optional option? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Cheers.

Pagination, Javascript & SEO
Hi I need some help identifying whether we need to rethink the way we paginated product pages, On this page http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches when clicking page 1,2, etc - we have javascript to sort the results, the URL displayed and the URL linked to are different. e.g. The URL for these paginated pages is for example: page2 http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches#productBeginIndex:30&orderBy:5&pageView:list& Then the arrows either side of pagination, link to the paginated landing page e.g. http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches?page=3 - this is where the rel/prev details are - done for Google However - when clicking on this arrow, the URL loaded is different again - http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches#productBeginIndex:60&orderBy:5&pageView:list& & doesn't take you http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches?page=3 I did not set this up, but I am concerned that the URL http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches?page=3 never actually loads, but it's linked to Google can crawl it. Is this a problem? I am looking to implement a view all option. Thank you

Wordpress Blogs and SEO
So far we have been creating separate blogs on wordpress.com for our sites, and writing there. Today I was told that there was better SEO hosting the blog on the actual domain. i.e. www.widgets.com/blog instead of widget.wordpress.com Is this true? Oddly I have had my WP beat my own URL on one account. So I am not sure if this is valid. Can someone tell me pros and cons of both? Thanks!
