SEO title tag, url
-
Hi I am launching a website that will sell initially 1 product with different colours, sayings and slogans. Is it okay to use the same keyword for the title tag and url. eg Love dog bow tie, sassy dog bow tie, I am the boss dog bow tie.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, it is generally acceptable to use the same keyword in the title tag and URL of your website, especially if it accurately reflects the product you are selling. Using keywords in these key areas can help improve your website's search engine optimization (SEO) by making it more relevant to users searching for those specific terms.
In your example, if your website sells dog bow ties with different colors, sayings, and slogans, using keywords like "love dog bow tie," "sassy dog bow tie," or "I am the boss dog bow tie" in both the title tag and URL can help signal to search engines and users that your website offers those products.
However, it's important to ensure that your website's content is also relevant to those keywords. It's not just about including keywords in the title tag and URL, but also providing valuable and informative content related to the products you're selling. This will help improve the overall user experience and increase the chances of ranking higher in search engine results.
Additionally, keep in mind that you should strive for a concise and descriptive URL structure that is easy for users to read and understand. For example, if your website's domain is "example.com," a URL like "example.com/love-dog-bow-tie" or "example.com/sassy-dog-bow-tie" would be more user-friendly than using lengthy or cryptic URLs.

It is generally recommended to use unique and descriptive titles for each page of your website to help search engines and users understand what the page is about. Using the same keyword in multiple title tags and URLs can cause confusion and make it difficult for search engines to distinguish between pages.
In your case, if all of your pages are selling dog bow ties, it might make sense to use a similar structure for the title tags and URLs, such as "Dog Bow Tie - Love", "Dog Bow Tie - Sassy", and "Dog Bow Tie - I am the Boss". However, you should still aim to make each title tag unique and descriptive so that it accurately reflects the content of the page.
You might also want to consider including additional information in the title tags and URLs to help them stand out in search results and make them more appealing to potential customers. For example, you could include information about the material, size, or style of the bow ties in the title tags and URLs.
In summary, while it's okay to use similar keywords in your title tags and URLs, it's important to make sure each one is unique and accurately reflects the content of the page.

Hi there SEO agency owners
Hi, we are slightly baffled. We have amazing backlinks and good on-site SEO, yet we don’t rank on the first page for our main keyword, “SEO Cardiff.” Now we can't understand why we are not on page one of Google for this keyword? Can someone have a look at our site and tell us why? We think we have better backlinks than some of our direct competitors that rank for this term.

Multiple URLs from One Domain on Page 1
Is it possible (and if it is possible, how difficult is it) to get multiple URLs from the same domain name to be indexed on the first page of Google for the same keyword or phrase? Assuming each URL has significantly different content of course... Context: A large real estate brand has 6 franchise offices in the same city. Each office has its own listing/landing page on the parent brand website. Each franchise owner wants their page on the website to rank for the term 'Christchurch real estate'. The homepage of the parent brand website currently ranks on the first page of Google for this search term, but none of the franchisee pages do. So my question is: with the right unique content on each franchisee page, supported by quality backlinks to each of the different offices, is it possible to get multiple franchisees listed on the first page of Google given that ultimately the 6 URLs are all attached to the same domain name? (And, if so, do you have any hot tips you can share to assist me on this uphill battle?)

Collections or blog posts for Shopify ecommerce seo?
Hi, hope you guys can help as I am going down a rabbit hole with this one! We have a solid-ranking sports nutrition site and are building a new SEO keyword strategy on our Shopify built store. We are using collections (categories) for much of the key product-based seo. This is because, as we understand it, Google prioritises collection/category pages over product pages. Should we then build additional collection pages to rank for secondary product search terms that could fit a collection page structure (eg 'vegan sports nutrition'), or should we use blog posts to do this? We have a quality blog with good unique content and reasonable domain authority so both options are open to us. But while the collection/category option may be best for SEO, too many collections/categories could upset our UX. We have a very small product range (10 products) so want to keep navigation fast and easy. Our 7 lead keyword collection pages do this already. More run the risk of upsetting ease/speed of site navigation. On the other hand, conversion rate from collection pages is historically much better than blog pages. We have made major technical upgrades to the blog to improve this but these are yet to be tested in anger. So at the heart of it all - do you guys recommend favouring blog posts or collection/category pages for secondary high sales intent keywords? All help gratefully received - thanks!

Shopify SEO - Collection or Blog post for ecomm seo?
Hi Moz folks, would love your thoughts on benefits of Shopify collection pages v blog posts for ranking secondary shopping keywords not suitable for existing shop pages - all help gratefully received, we are going down a rabbit hole on this one and need some sanity! So, we’re updating our site which already has a reasonable seo foundation and are looking to rank better for key shopping search keywords in our space (d2c sports nutrition). My question is should we prioritise store collection pages (category pages in Shopify terms) or blog posts for some of the main keywords not already covered by our core in-store collections/categories? Priority keywords already covered are things like protein powders, protein bars, energy drinks, etc. As context, we have a small product catalogue (10 products) and for easy navigation on site have these grouped into 7 collections/categories in the main menu and available from the homepage. All are quality high volume and high intent shopping keywords for our business. The secondary terms we are now looking to add content for are things like marathon nutrition, vegan sports nutrition, etc so now need to choose if we create product collection pages for these, or use blog posts to do the work. The advantage of collections, we believe, is that Google is likely to prioritise these in search. The disadvantage from a UX point of view is that more categories in store could make our simple and clear product range (10 products only) look complex or repetitive. Conversely, a blog post removes any UX confusion with too many categories, but we have a conversion rate issue with our blog. It performs well in search, but conversions are poor. We have addressed this with a new keyword targeting strategy and blog customisation, but we have yet to test this so while in theory it should work well, we do not know for certain. In summary: we want to rank key shopping keywords beyond our core ones we have - would you advise we use blog posts or product collection pages? All help gratefully received - thanks! Warren
