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.

How many pages should we optimise?
I have more than 250 pages on my site including my products. Is it a good idea to optimise each page with a unique keyword or is there a limit to the number of pages we should aim for?

Do You Include Product Prices In Your Page Titles?
Hi Guys, So I'm currently mapping out a load of meta recommendations for a new client we're working with and i just wanted to get an idea about the do's and don'ts of adding product prices into page titles etc. I've looked around to see how people and other marketer feel about this and the response seems to be mixed. I've included prices in titles in the past and had mixed success - I was just wondering if it's something you do regularly or something that you prefer to avoid? I don't think there is any right or wrong answer here - just be good to see how people feel about it. Thanks! 🙂

Description tag not showing in the SERPs because page is blocked by Robots, but the page isn't blocked. Any help?
While checking some SERP results for a few pages of a site this morning I noticed that some pages were returning this message instead of a description tag, A description for this result is not avaliable because of this site's robot.s.txt The odd thing is the page isn't blocked in the Robots.txt. The page is using Yoast SEO Plugin to populate meta data though. Anyone else had this happen and have a fix?
