    Hello there,  I have a wordpress website with a woocommerce plugin.

    I have 4 landing pages that describe my products and at the end of the pages, I have a CTA to my product page.  is it bad for SEO?

      From my perspective, this may be a very good strategy, and not a problem. It depends why you have 4 landing pages though.

      I see you linked your site, but I'm instead going to answer more generically, at least in part since I don't read or speak the language of your site.

      Let's hypothetically say you sell a type of day planner. And you've optimized your product page for the query "day planner". But you know that your day planner is highly relevant to teachers, personal trainers, doctors, and lawyers. You might want 4 very specific landing pages, targeting phrases like "day planners for teachers", with content on those pages which resonates with and helps teachers to understand how your one day planner would be great for their needs. And a separate page for the personal trainers, and for the doctors, and for the lawyers.

      Your product page might rank best for "day planner", but one of your landing pages might rank best for "day planners for teachers".

      And I think that's a valid strategy. As opposed to trying to get one page to rank well for all 4 of those audiences, which may also be a valid strategy. I've seen each of those strategies work, in different situations. It very much depends on the competition around your listings, and how they are targeting the audiences (or not), in terms of which is a better strategy (one page with multiple targeted queries, vs 4 pages with individual targeted queries).

        What actions to take will depend on the purpose of the landing pages. The only common SEO risk to having multiple landing pages on your site is having them marked as duplicate.

        If the landing pages are on the same topic and the content and meta are similar, then google can sometimes mark the pages as duplicate and not index them. What you should do in that case is to add a canonical tag on the landing pages referring to the main product page. That way the landing pages transfer their authority to the main product page and support its growth.

        If the landing pages have a different topic, target different keywords, have different titles and meta-s, then there is no problem having multiple landing pages, and you can continue growing them through SEO. As for the CTA, it doesn't make much of a difference SEO-wise.

          It's bad for SEO because Google might start ranking your landing pages instead of the actual product pages. Since it would take a user fewer clicks to convert from the product pages (shorter user journey) you really want to think - do I need these special landing pages? If my product pages aren't ranking, why? How can I take the best parts of my new landing pages and my product pages, and make one super product page that 'just works' for everyone?

          Usually when people start producing additional versions of the same page, it's because something about their website or product template isn't wrong. Do you want multiple averagely ranking pages, or fewer pages which rank more highly? The second option there (smaller footprint better ranking positions), is almost always better. To some degree, when you start writing loads of different pages about the same thing it's a form of 'giving up' on the original, instead of working hard to fix it up. It seldom yields good results

          There is a caveat here. Sometimes you might create landing pages which exist for other traffic sources - other than SEO. You might create PPC landing pages or FaceBook Ads landing pages, which are highly tailored to your paid ads. That's fine and you should create paid landing pages, but you shouldn't make them accessible to your normal users or allow them to be indexed on Google

          Hope that helps

            301 Redirect or landing page

            Hi everyone. I'm currently doing some SEO for a client, at the moment he has some landing pages which are categorised, but the category is set as a 302 redirect. I have a dilemma whether to 301 redirect to the landing page or make a page for each category. The link structure is as follows - http://examplesite.co.uk/products/fire/company-1/product/ so currently this is set as a 302 redirect - http://examplesite.co.uk/products/fire/company-1/ Do I make this page a category page and link the page to the children with some on-page optimisation or 301 redirect it?

            Why is my contact us page ranking higher than my home page?

            Hello, It doesn't matter what keyword I put into Google (when I'm not signed in and have cleaned down my browsing history) the contact us page ranks higher than the home page. I'm not sure why this is, the home page has a higher page authority, more links and more social media shares, the website is an established one. When I have checked Google Analytics my home page gets more people landing on it than the contact us page. It looks like people are ignoring the contact us page and scrolling down until they find the home page. I'd appreciate any help or advice you might have. Thank you.

            Pagination for product page reviews

            Hi, I am looking to add pagination on product pages (they have lots of reviews on the page). I am considering using rel="next/prev, to connect the series of review pages to the main product page. I unfortunately don't have a view-all page for these reviews or the option to get one - the reviews refresh on the same product page (by clicking whatever number page of reviews). This means each page has the exact same description content and everything else, but with different reviews. In this case is rel=next a good option? The format currently would be: On example.com/product link rel="next" href="http://example.com/product?review-p2" On example.com/product?review-p2 link rel="prev" href="http://example.com/product, link rel="next" href="http://example.com/product?review-p3 etc. Would this be a good format for product page reviews? I see rel=nextprev commonly used on ecommerce category/list pages but not really on the paginated reviews on product pages, so I thought I would see if anyone has advice on how best to solve this. I'm also wondering if it would be best to not combine this with a canonical tag on all the different review pages pointing to the product page, seeing as the reviews are actually different (despite the rest of the content being identical). I am hoping to pick up longer tail traffic from this, I figure by connecting the pages and not using canonicals that this way I could get more traffic from the phrases used in the reviews. By leaving out the canonicals, is it possible a user searching for phrases that might be deeper in the series, to land on, say, ?review-p4? Any thoughts if this would drive more traffic? Thanks!.

            ECommerce Product Meta Descriptions vs. Product Descriptions

            Wondering if using on-page product descriptions as the individual product meta descriptions is a best practice for an eCommerce site? Instead of writing two product descriptions (one regular and one meta), I am thinking if the product copy is SEO rich, we'd be good to use just the one for both purposes. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Seems that many companies follow this practice. Thanks!

            Right way to block google robots from ppc landing pages

            What is the right way to completely block seo robots from my adword landing pages? Robots.txt does not work really good for that, as far I know. Adding metatags noindex nofollow on the other side will block adwords robot as well. right? Thank you very much, Serge

            301 redirects from several sub-pages to one sub-page

            Hi! I have 14 sub-pages i deleted earlier today. But ofcourse Google can still find them, and gives everyone that gives them a go a 404 error. I have come to the understading that this wil hurt the rest of my site, at least as long as Google have them indexed. These sub-pages lies in 3 different folders, and i want to redirect them to a sub-page in a folder number 4. I have already an htaccess file, but i just simply cant get it to work! It is the same file as i use for redirecting trafic from mydomain.no to www.mydomain.no, and i have tried every kind of variation i can think of with the sub-pages. Has anyone perhaps had the same problem before, or for any other reason has the solution, and can help me with how to compose the htaccess file? 🙂 You have to excuse me if i'm using the wrong terms, missing something i should have seen under water while wearing a blindfold, or i am misspelling anything. I am neither very experienced with anything surrounding seo or anything else that has with internet to do, nor am i from an englishspeaking country. Hope someone here can light up my path 🙂 Thats at least something you can say in norwegian...

            URL for location pages

            Hello all We would like to create clean, easy URLs for our large list of Location pages. If there are a few URLs for each of the pages, am I right when I'm saying we would like this to be the canonical? Right now we would like the URL to be: For example
            Domain.com/locations/Columbus I have found some instances where there might be 2,3 or more locations in the same city,zip. My conclusion for these would be: adding their Branch id's on to the URL
            Domain.com/locations/Columbus/0304 Is this an okay approach? We are unsure if the URL should have city,State,zip for SEO purposes?
            The pages will have all of this info in it's content
            BUT what would be best for SEO and ranking for a given location? Thank you for any info!

            Are blank Product Review pages bad for SEO?

            Hi there, I'm running a new e-commerce site (BoatOutfitters.com) and have a question about our product review pages. On our current campaign, we have a lot of duplicate page content errors. When we export the data, it's almost all blank product review pages (since we are new, we don't have that many product reviews yet). Our product reviews aren't run through javascript, so we originally did not add them to a robots.txt file - however, I'm now wondering if it's worse to have all of these duplicate blank pages, or is it not affecting our SEO at all? Should we just wait until these products have reviews which will benefit our SEO and then they won't be considered "duplicate pages" - right? Sorry if this has been answered before - new here at SEO Moz and just looking for some help. Thanks!
