HVAC & Air Conditioning - 1 page of 2 ?
-
Hello all!
This has been an on going issue for us trying to rank an air conditioning repair company. The 2 strongest keywords for us are both HVAC Repair and Air Conditioning Repair. The main question is....
Should this be 1 landing page or 2? I think google may recognize HVAC and Air Conditioning as the same thing, because for some crazy reason my air conditioning repair page ranks for the keyword HVAC repair. My HVAC repair page is actually nowhere to be found.
I am coming across the same issue with other keywords like HVAC service , and Air Conditioning Service. Or HVAC Maintenance and Air Conditioning maintenance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi there
While an HVAC is an air conditioner, I feel you should have two landing pages - one for HVAC and the other for the genreral air conditioning repair. Reason being - you probably do general air conditioner repair and can build out content that speaks to that content:
- Here are the type of air conditioners we work on
- Here are our warranties
- Here are the work we do
- Here are the work we don't do
- Here are our experience
- Here are some testimonies
- Schedule an appointment
With the HVAC page, you can do product specific content in the same vein:
- Here are models we work on
- Here are models we don't work on
- Here are our warranties
- Here are brochures for specific HVAC models
- Here are buying guides
- etc.
With creating product specific pages, with unique content for that product, you are also able to link off from the air conditioner page. So, "Hey, we do air conditioning repair and here is all of our information for that. By the way! If you have a specific model or brand air conditioner, here is a dedicated page for that product."
By doing product specific pages, you can also see what brands/models get the most interaction and what products get the most appointment requests for maintenance. This can also help you (if you sell air conditioners) decide your warranties, set up maintenance plans for customers, discounts, and keep in touch with clients for ongoing maintenance. But most importantly - you have dedicated information for brands and products that goes into more detail about the work you do for that product, and why you're the only option for the customer.
I am being pretty grandiose here, but I believe having dedicated brand pages helps pick up search for those specific brand repair searches, especially at the local level. EGOL had a great reply to a question earlier this week that helps explain. The more relevant information, the better. Also, make sure your on-site SEO, internal linking, local seo, and information architecture is on point!
These are just my thoughts - always great info coming from other Mozzers, too - would love to hear them! Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hiding elements of the page
Hi, Does hiding elements of the page have a negative effect on SEO? The reason I ask is I am using a Wordpress theme however in options if I disable a certain element of the theme that is printed on the page it simply hides it from the user using CSS but it still exists in the code. Could the search engine see this as bad? E.g. like you are trying to keyword stuff by hiding keywords in the page? Thanks.

Can I target one keyword with 2~3 pages?
Since my website is targeting a very specific field, there are not many widely searched keywords. So I'm thinking of targeting one keyword with 2~3 pages. 1. I've read Neil Patel's blog post on how to create dual rankings to make your search listings stand out on Google. So I assume it's okay to target one keyword with several pages. (http://www.quicksprout.com/2012/07/30/4-steps-to-making-your-search-listings-stand-out-on-google/ Step #2 Create Dual Rankings) 2. But I've also read things on Keyword Cannibalism saying that if you target one keyword with several pages, they will compete with each other, and Google will get confused. I'm wondering, is it okay to target one keyword with 2~3 pages? And is there any smart way to do it ? Thanks.

Dealing with a category page that is optimised & ranks for same keyword as homepage
Hi, I'm working with a very niche website where only one product is sold. This means there is a small keyword set (just variations of same keyword) that we are optimising for. Currently the homepage www.example.com ranks in position 2 for target term - "sample". But there is also a required deeper page www.example.com/sample which has lots and lots of internal links targeted to "sample" pointing to it. This page ranks position 8. Effectively this is optimising the deeper page for the same keyword as for the home page through internal anchir text. This deeper page must exist as it has much more detailed information about the product. We want the homepage to rank highest and I'm trying to figure out if we are confusing Google and splitting authority between 2 pages. Best result for us would be to have homepage in position 1 and the deeper page can disappear (total visits would increase). So the question is, is there a solution to do this? My initial thought was use canonical tag on the www.example.com/sample page specifiying www.example.com. Can we do this? Its not duplicate content. Other option I considered is to nofollow links to the deeper page. Again not sure if this will have positive or negative impact. My fear is by removing 40 odd internal links with "sample" anchor text will reduce relevancy of the domain as a whole for the "sample" keyword. Any help much appreciated! Thanks

Too Many On-Page Links
Hi All, New to SEOMoz, so thanks in advance for any answers! Looking at our Crawl Diagnostics and "Too Many On-Page Links" is first on the list. The site was build with the intention of users being able to quickly get to where they want to go with drop down menus (sub nav), so we built the navigation using bullet points/css. Yes, agreed there are too many links on each page from our navigation, main nav cats are 4 with sub nav about 40, but what is the best way to resolve the problem other then removing most of the links (from the sub nav drop down)? Could we just use the attribute rel=nofollow for the sub nav links? TIA
