      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?

      my website: https://relationadviser.ir

        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

              Will it upset Google if I aggregate product page reviews up into a product category page?

              We have reviews on our product pages and we are considering averaging those reviews out and putting them on specific category pages in order for the average product ratings to be displayed in search results. Each averaged category review would be only for the products within it's category, and all reviews are from users of the site, no 3rd party reviews. For example, averaging the reviews from all of our boxes products pages, and listing that average review on the boxes category page. My question is, will this be doing anything wrong in the eyes of Google, and if so how so? -Derick

              Product content length & links within product description

              Hello, I have questions regarding content length and links within descriptions.  With our ecommerce site, we have thousands of products, each with a unique description. In the product description, I have links to the parent category and grandparent category (if it has one) in the main product text which is generally about 175 words. Then I have a last paragraph that's about 75 words that includes links to our main homepage and our main product catalogue page. Is the content length long enough? I used to use text that was 500 words, and shortening it I still rank when launching new products, so I don't think an increase in text length will have any additional benefit. I do see conflicting information when I do searches, with some people recommending a minimum of 300 words and some saying to try and go a 1000 for category pages. In regards to the links, I noticed a competitor has stopped following this format, so I'm unsure if I should keep going too. Is it too many links to have each of the products link back to the main catalogue and homepage? Is it good to have links with anchor text to the categories a product is in? There are breadcrumbs on the page with these links already. There are already have heaps of links on our pages (footer, and a right sidebar with image links to relevant categories), so my pages do get flagged for too many links. Thanks!

              Meta separators

              I've been told that pipes are the best separators for title tags.  Can anyone tell me the best ones for H1 and H2 tags?  Do I go with pipes, commas, hyphens, underscores...?

              WordPress and category/subcategory landing pages

              Hey, Here's my situation. I'm building a WordPress blog for product reviews of a certain niche. Current category setup is 4 main categories with 4-8 subcategories each. Each subcategory has a unique description that will help it become a landing page for certain keywords, after which it lists the posts from that subcategory. The posts will always be assigned to a sub-category, never to a main category. My issue is what to do with the main categories. They're fairly general so they're not really targeting any keywords, and don't have any unique descriptions attached to them. I was thinking of choosing between three options on designing the main category pages: List the subcategories + normal posts loop that bring the latest posts from the subcategories (may create a lot of duplicate content since the subcategory pages are also listing their posts) List only the subcategories (+ maybe just the latest post from each subcategory) Don't link the main categories at all, instead only use them to create dropdowns for the subcategories So, what would you choose, and why?

              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!

              Missing meta descriptions on indexed pages, portfolio, tags, author and archive pages. I am using SEO all in one, any advice?

              I am having a few problems that I can't seem to work out.....I am fairly new to this and can't seem to work out the following: Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 1. I am missing alot of meta description tags. I have installed "All in One SEO" but there seems to be no options to add meta descriptions in portfolio posts. I have also written meta descriptions for 'tags' and whilst I can see them in WP they don't seem to be activated. 2. The blog has pages indexed by WP- called Part 2 (/page/2), Part 3 (/page/3) etc. How do I solve this issue of meta descriptions and indexed pages? 3. There is also a page for myself, the author, that has multiple indexes for all the blog posts I have written, and I can't edit these archives to add meta descriptions. This also applies to the month archives for the blog. 4. Also, SEOmoz tells me that I have too many links on my blog page (also indexed) and their consequent tags. This also applies to the author pages (myself ). How do I fix this? Thanks for your help 🙂 Regards Nadia

              Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?

              Is it bad to change the canonical URL in the tag, meaning does it lose it's stats? If we add a new page that may have duplicate content, but we want that page to be indexed over the older pages, should we just change the canonical page or redirect from the original canonical page? Thanks so much! -Amy
