      Within the context of a physical product launch what are some ideas around creating a /coming-soon page that "teases" the launch. Ideally I'd like to optimize a page around the product, but the client wants to try build consumer anticipation without giving too many details away. Any thoughts?

          Keri's example of Moz's "top secret project" is a good one.

          If you Google "top secret project" they are appearing at the bottom of the second page SERP.

              I wouldn't know. Never have heard of a company that ever tried to give out any teases when anything new is coming along. 😉

                The tricky part is the client wants to keep the product a "secret". They don't want to create the product page as the teaser URL, since the optimized URL for the new product would reveal the new product itself.

                I agree with your approach, but I the trick here is going to be optimizing a /coming-soon page that then redirects to the new product page a week or two before the launch.

                  Not knowing the product kind of makes it difficult to go on that; however, some of these ideas may work.

                  I would create a landing page for the physical product, then additional pages optimized around the product launch:

                  • [product name] Release Date
                  • [product name] Specifications or Specs
                  • [product name] News
                  • [product name] Price
                  • [product name] Pre-order
                  • [product name] Price
                  • [product name] Sneak Peek
                  • etc.

                  Create a landing page that is specific to any question that a visitor would/could have about the product.

                  Does that help/give you some ideas?

                    Is it ok to repeat a (focus) keyword used on a previous page, on a new page?

                    I am cataloguing the pages on our website in terms of which focus keyword has been used with the page. I've noticed that some pages repeated the same keyword / term. I've heard that it's not really good practice, as it's like telling google conflicting information, as the pages with the same keywords will be competing against each other. Is this correct information? If so, is the alternative to use various long-winded keywords instead? If not, meaning it's ok to repeat the keyword on different pages, is there a maximum recommended number of times that we want to repeat the word? Still new-ish to SEO, so any help is much appreciated! V.

                    Looking for opinions on structuring meta title tags/page title/menu title/H1

                    Hi everyone I am hoping a few of you can share your opinions. I have been having conversations (okay, healthy debates) about how to write/structure meta title tag and how to compliment them with the H1, page title, menu name. To help explain the thought processes I will use a pretend keyword. How about "screwdriver". Case: (I made this up) we are redesigning a website for a construction tools manufacturing company (pretend name: ABC Tools) targeting OEMs who are interested in purchasing large quantities of tools. The product categories (to become main menu items) are Screwdrivers, Nails, Drills, and Hammers. (bear with me .... this is just an example I am making up on the fly) K. Circling back to screwdrivers - let's say we have one landing page (a primary category page and in the main menu) listing products and great details about screwdrivers. Focus keywords are screwdriver manufacturer, screwdriver supplier, construction screwdrivers Below are questions being debated. If you are willing ... how would you address these questions? And, can you explain WHY? QUESTION ONE: How would you structure the meta title tag (feel free to write one of your own) Screwdriver Manufacturer - Construction Screwdriver | ABC Tools ABC Tools - US-based Screwdriver Manufacturer Supplier Near You High-Quality Screwdrivers for Construction with ABC Tools QUESTION TWO: how would you write the H1 on the page? Would it match the meta tag? OR, would you write something different using the primary keyword? QUESTION THREE Remembering this is not a blog post ... it is a primary landing page linked to the main navigation. What would the menu title be? (remember the product categories above are how the main menu items are bucketed) Screwdrivers Screwdriver Manufacturer Typically in WordPress, the H1 and the menu title is auto-populated using the page title (not the title tag)... So, if we use Screwdrivers as the page title but we want the H1 to match the meta title tag, would we manually change the H1? Or, have the page title and title tag match, but manually change the menu item?

                    Rel="prev" / "next"

                    Hi guys, The tech department implemented rel="prev"  and rel="next" on this website a long time ago.
                    We also added a canonical tag to the 'own' page. We're talking about the following situation: https://bit.ly/2H3HpRD However we still see a situation where a lot of paginated pages are visible in the SERP.
                    Is this just a case of rel="prev" and "next" being directives to Google?
                    And in this specific case, Google deciding to not only show the 1st page in the SERP, but still show most of the paginated pages in the SERP? Please let me know, what you think. Regards,
                    Tom

                    Is it best practice to have a canonical tags on all pages

                    The website I'm working on has no canonical tags. There is duplicate content so rel=canonicals need adding to certain pages but is it best practice to have a tag on every page ?

                    Best Practices for Title Tags for Product Listing Page

                    My industry is commercial real estate in New York City. Our site has 300 real estate listings. The format we have been using for Title Tags are below. This probably disastrous from an SEO perspective. Using number is a total waste space. A few questions:
                    -Should we set listing not no index if they are not content rich?
                    -If we do choose to index them, should we avoid titles listing Square Footage and dollar amounts?
                    -Since local SEO is critical, should the titles always list New York, NY or Manhattan, NY?
                    -I have red that titles should contain some form of branding. But our company name is Metro Manhattan Office Space. That would take up way too much space. Even "Metro Manhattan" is long. DO we need to use the title tag for branding or can we just focus on a brief description of page content incorporating one important phrase? Our site is: w w w . m e t r o - m a n h a t t a n . c o m <colgroup><col width="405"></colgroup>

                    What would cause the wrong category page to come up?

                    I am trying to figure out why the wrong thing is coming up in the serps. For example, we are trying to rank for used widgets. But when you type in used widgets in google the primary widget page doesn't come up, one of the secondary categories under used widgets comes up. What would cause this? What are things I should check?

                    Pipe ("|") in my website's title is being replaced with ":" in Google results

                    Hi , One of the websites I'm promoting and working on is www.pau-brasil.co.il.
                    It's wordpress-based website and as you can see the html's Title is "PauBrasil | some hebrew slogan".
                    (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/2f80EEY.gif)
                    When I'm searching for "PauBrasil" (Which is the brand's name) , one of the results google shows is "PauBrasil: Some Hebrew Slogan" (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/eJxNHrO.gif ) Why does the pipe is being replaced with ":" ?
                    And not just that , as you can see there's a "blank space" missing between the the ":" to the slogan.
                    (note: the websites has been indexed by google crawler at least 4 times so I find it hard to believe it can be the reason) I've keep on looking and found out that there's another page in that website with the exact same title
                    but when I'm looking for it in google , it shows the title as it really is , with pipe. ("|").
                    (Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/dtsbZV2.gif) Have you ever encountered something like that?
                    Can it be that the duplicated title cause that weird "replacement"? Thanks in advance,
                    Kadel

                    Dynamic pages - ecommerce product pages

                    Hi guys, Before I dive into my question, let me give you some background.. I manage an ecommerce site and we're got thousands of product pages. The pages contain dynamic blocks and information in these blocks are fed by another system. So in a nutshell, our product team enters the data in a software and boom, the information is generated in these page blocks. But that's not all, these pages then redirect to a duplicate version with a custom URL. This is cached and this is what the end user sees. This was done to speed up load, rather than the system generate a dynamic page on the fly, the cache page is loaded and the user sees it super fast. Another benefit happened as well, after going live with the cached pages, they started getting indexed and ranking in Google. The problem is that, the redirect to the duplicate cached page isn't a permanent one, it's a meta refresh, a 302 that happens in a second. So yeah, I've got 302s kicking about. The development team can set up 301 but then there won't be any caching, pages will just load dynamically. Google records pages that are cached but does it cache a dynamic page though? Without a cached page, I'm wondering if I would drop in traffic. The view source might just show a list of dynamic blocks, no content! How would you tackle this? I've already setup canonical tags on the cached pages but removing cache.. Thanks
