Is it worth re-doing SEO for all existent products
-
We have a website and when we started, we had no clue about SEO, nor did we really understand the full extent of CRO amongst other things.
We have slowly learnt that there are many changes that need to happen to our site; however...do we need to re SEO all the content that is already on the website or can we purely start a fresh with the new products we feed through?
The website is:
www.onlineforequine.co.uk if you need to take a look at the kind of platform we are working with.

i noticed the same thing, not only do you need some text content you need it above the fold.

Yes very new, only about 10% of the products have the content they require and this is something we are looking into at the moment. We wanted to know whether we needed to review the entire site and from feedback I think we definately do!
When we started the site our understanding on content, CRO & SEO was non-existent, as time progresses we have discovered how important it is and we are now going to begin reviewing the site...from page one onwards!
Thanks for the feedback about the visual side though!

It is a nice website and I like the logo etc but straight away I can see problems (to name one lack of content), is this a fairly new website?
I think looking at conversion rate optimisation is also a good idea, put down on paper the pages in your conversion funnel and start looking at each one picking elements which effect the users decision.

I always think it is good that your site has problems, because it means you can improve.
Good SEO is an investment, that pays off

As we are not from a marketing/SEO/CRO background, we are really struggling on where and why things go wrong. We are fine with META but when it comes down to duplicate page content, too many links etc, we are slightly out of our depth!
Think we may have to get someone on board to help us get things on the right course!
Looks like we are going to be here for a long time.......
:S

i would go thought the site.
i did a quick crawl os a small part of your site and found quite a few problems. i would go though each page and fix up every thing you can find.
It may take you a few hours for each page, but over time it will pay off. Evey bit of link juice you can save, every crawling prioblem has a value in dollars (pounds in your case) that keeps on giving you a return day after day, year after year.

Google says :
you have about 6,490 results - pages indexed
you have about 28,400 results - pages linking to you
Are you happy with that?
Are you happy with your rankings too?
Both Yes? Then no I wouldn't change in big!
Maybe, start/improve small:
find issues on the site - User and SEO based
example?

Lightboxes and SEO
Do lightboxes (AKA popup boxes when you click "learn more" type CTAs) have any negative effect on SEO? We are looking at revamping our sites to have more of a tiled approach, and a lightbox with summary content popping out with additional CTAs, directing to pages with more information or free trial pages. Is there any downside to this approach from an organic perspective? is there anything specific to keep in mind when creating these if not?

SEO transfer to new website
My website currently has some strong SEO and i will be re-developing the website on a wordpress platform...which will change many of the existing URL. Will this affect the current pages that are well indexed in Google? Does using Wordpress or changing the URL extension (.html to .php) make a difference? If i want to make a clean transition without effecting our existing SEO...what are some essential steps i need to take? Example. Current page is www.mydomain.com/name.html .... and the new URL would be www.mydomain.com/product/name.php Thanks

Seo site architecture - how deep?
Hello Moz community! We are building out a site for a web hosting/web design company. I am wondering if we should just have home/categories/pages or if we should have home/categories/sub-categories/pages. I am am not sure if by adding the additional level we can create a bunch of mini-hubs within the categories. For example: Home/Web hosting/Business Web Hosting/Small Business Web Hosting I don't know if these mini-hubs within the category are a good idea or if I should keep it as flat as possible? Any thoughts on this?

How to title my products?
Hi, really struggling with product titles. Or should I say keeping staff writing out titles. If I sell a Coat. I would like the product titled like: Armani Jeans Coat Green but staff are doing it like Armani Jeans Fur Hooded Coat Green. Now I think this effects our SEO efforts as how likely are people to search for the Fur Hooded coat part? Yes we might hit the numbers of the small search but is it really worth it? Would it not be best put this Fur Hooded part in the short description and long description? I am trying to make my SEO titles and meta descriptions consistant for 1 product. But find it hard writing out Fur Hooded in the Meta Title when I know numbers will be minimal? The SEO titles or the product titles are effectively links on the website for each product. So hold more weight and the product titles act as the H1 titles on the product page itself. Surely we would be best using Armani Jeans Coat Green rather than such a long, obscure title that will gain very little search? Whats best way to approach this issue? As we can have products titled like: Creative Recreation Kaplan Patent Leather/Snake Trainers Charcoal. Which to me is too long, too obscure. Surely the extra detail should go in Short Description which is visible on the catelog page and keep the product titles shorted and more to the point, eg Creative Recreation Kaplan Trainers Snake Charcoal? All this Patent Leather/ business seems pointless to me? Any ideas?

Product discontinued
Hi there, We have ranking top 3 for a competitive keyword, however the product linked to that keyword has just been discontinued, normally if we have alternatives to this product I would keep this page live and direct users to those alternatives products. What is best practice here? keeping the page live and telling users that this product has been discontinued and offering a helpline number? or just removing the page all together? (404) Thanks

SEO consultant/expert
I am looking to hire an SEO expert that can not only make suggestions/perform audit, but also execute changes. Of course lots of companies are available, but I am ideally looking for an individual with a nice track record. No offense to SEO firms, but I am not interested in paying for overhead, etc. Curious to know if others have gone this route and what the experience has been like. Thanks!
