Page titles and descriptions

A website has several wigets to show
Each wiget with its own page
The wigets mostly just vary in size
How would you suggest titles be done?
Example:
Wiget 1ft
Wiget 2ft
Wiget 3 ft
an so on........ Would this trigger a duplicate content issue given “Wiget” leads in the page title?

Hi Bryce,
Thanks for the input. I was thinking that direction. It nice to have some affirmation from time to time.
Cheers!

In that case, I would probably focus my efforts on a parent page. The keywords you are probably targeting won't have a lot of competition, and a high ranking top level landing page will also contribute to the rankings of lower level pages.
In addition, the concept of "Evergreen" comes to mind. When you cycle through model numbers or inventory, you would lose the value you've built into the lower level pages. If, instead, you focus on your top level "Evergreen" pages, you can update those pages without losing rankings.

Hi Matt thanks for the response. The link below will help better explain my situation. Each truck has a difference page....... How would you look at page titles and descriptions?

Hi Bryce,
Here is a link..... which may help to clarify my situation. I am just trying to deal with individual landing pages for each truck

There is probably an "it depends" here. For example clothes and many other items come in different sizes and usually they are all listed on one page without any detriment to SEO. My opinion is the single page would allow that single page to rank higher than many different pages. I can only imagine the confusion that would occur in search engine result lists if you had a page for each size of a particular shoe model being sold.
I think the rule would be is the size more important than what the item is. For example with shoes it is usually the shoe model that is most important (not the size) so one page with the size as key content on that page. But there are times where users are more likely to search for the size. Maybe it is wall mount ovens where the attributes of width and single and double are more important than the actual model then you might want to have separate pages for each size of the model.
You might also consider having a single page for a widget with the different options and then landing pages that would aggregate all the different widgets of a particular size and then link to the corresponding product detail page.
-
As long as they are actually different widgets, I think that would be fine. If you had 10 pages for widget 1 using different URL's, then I would start to rethink your strategy.

My site on desktop browser: page 2 /mobile browser: page 0
Using my two most pertinent keywords in Chome my site shows up page two. Using the same keywords on my iPhone does not show my site at all (I clicked on to page 15). I have a mobile ranking of 84 on Google PageSpeed Insights. Could be a bit higher but not enough to totally ignore my site. What am I missing?

Google changing my Title
I noticed today that Google is showing a different Title in searches for the homepage. It is showing a title which I believe was active as of late last year or early January. The new title is in the title tag, in Google cache and in MOZ crawls as well. Not sure why it would still be showing a different title in the search and wanted to see if anyone can explain the reason. Thanks

Too many links per page? Double navigation on every page...
I have a client with navigation across the top of each page plus the same nav links in a sidebar on every page. Can that duplication (or the sheer number of links) on each page have a negative ranking factor?

The meta tags: Title and Description, showing unexpected results on google
When I type my company name on google "Navneet Gems", it shows a very different meta tag then what it actually is. How do I change this meta descrption when its non-existent on my homepage? The worst is, it is having a spelling mistake. We want to correct this.

Why is Google replacing my meta title with the business name on home page?
For all queries that return the home page, Google is not showing my meta title. Instead it replaced it with the official business name which of course makes it harder to rank for key terms since they don't exist now in the meta title. You can see this is you search on "mt view estate planning attorney". The site in question is dureelaw.com and the title showing is "The Law Office of Daniel L. DuRee." View the source and you'll see my meta title. Why is Google substituting it?

Page Rank
I had just made a 301 re-direct on one of our product pages which had a PR of 4, now that Google has indexed the new page, it's now got a PR of 0, i'm struggling to understand why this could be, i know that you may see a drop of 1, which has happened in the past, but this drop just does not make sense. Any ideas of why this could be? Kind Regards
